Power Mechanisms:
The CSA operates from DC power and can be powered via one of two
mechanisms:
1. From the Pow er Jack on the CSA.
When supplying DC power to the power jack, please note the following:
• The acceptable supply voltage for normal operation ranges from 3.5
to 5.5 VDC, with an Absolute Maximum is 5.6V.
• The Power supply must rise to its final voltage in less than 1mS.
• For specifications of the power jack’s physical connector, refer to
SMK part number LGP3131-0111 at http://www.smk.co.jp.
2. From Pin 9 of the DB-9 Connector.
The acceptable supply voltage ranges from 3.5 to 12 VDC, with an
Absolute Maximum of 12V.
The CSA was not intended to be connected directly to a vehicle’s
electrical system, although a cigarette lighter adapter/DC charger is
permissible.
The typical current requirements are provided in the table below.
Note: The power supply should be capable of supplying a minimum of
200 mA to ensure proper operation.
