We recommend a screw torque of 18–20lbf·in (2–2.25N·m).
12V DC PA-only
Base Station
12V DC PA-only base stations have a 12V PA. This is designed to accept a
nominal 12V DC input with negative ground. There is a minimum DC
startup threshold to prevent damaging a battery which has little capacity left.
You must connect the DC supply from the battery to the PA via a fuse or
DC-rated circuit breaker with a contact separation of 3mm, and with the
appropriate rating, as shown in the table below. The DC input leads should
be of a suitable gauge to ensure less than 0.2V drop at maximum load over
the required length of lead.
We recommend a screw torque of 4.5lbf·in (0.5N·m).
Base Station with
no PMU or 12V PA
Base stations with no 12V PA or PMU are designed to accept a DC input
of 10.8VDC to 32VDC with negative ground. The DC input terminal
block is mounted on the rear of the subrack.
