Note: When using a DC power source (such as a car battery or solar cell), Sierra Wireless recommends placing a fuse (1-2 Amp) on the line close to the power source to protect your power source from possible surges due to shorts or other line issues.

Hardware Installation of the PinPoint X

Connecting to Power

Your PinPoint X can be used with either DC, available in most automobiles, or 110 AC, standard US wall power, with the appropriate power adapter. DC cables and AC adapters are available as optional accessories in addition to the one included with your PinPoint X.

The DC power cable positive lead should be connected to the battery or power source positive terminal. The power cable negative lead should be connected to the battery or power source negative terminal.

The PinPoint X has an internal polysilicon circuit breaker that opens at 0.5 to 1.0 amps of current.

If you wish to use the Standby Ignition Sense (SISE) feature of your PinPoint X, the white wire of the three wire DC power cable should be used to connect to your ignition. When SISE is enabled in the modem and the ignition sense connector is wired to your vehicle, the ignition sense will provide a link to the modem to enable it to enter a low‐power, standby mode when your vehicle is turned off and power up more quickly when the ignition is started.
