3.3.7 Power Supply Planning
The Lynx radios must have access to a supply of appropriate power, either DC or AC (if the AC
adapter option has been ordered). The Lynx can be powered from a DC battery system, or from a
solar or generator power plant, usually with battery reserves. Typically either a positive or negative
ground 24 or 48 volt supply is used. For DC, be sure the cable is of sufficient gauge to carry the
necessary current and it is less than three (3) meters (9.75 feet) in length.
Before installing the radio, plan for the continuous power consumption needs in accordance with the
specifications given in Section 2.2 of this manual. It is also wise to plan for backup power for critical
communication circuits (including the Lynx radio). Backup power allows the radios and associated
equipment to continue operation when primary power is interrupted.
