Worldwide, universal AC input with continuous operation from 85VAC to 270VAC (not limited to 95VAC)
that compensates for a low voltage AC generator power and unstable AC power source in foreign countries.
Wide DC input range of 9 to 36VDC (not limited to 11V) to include 12VDC, 24VDC, 28VDC
aircraft power, DC generators and to accommodate a low DC input voltage due to: (1) Normal voltage
variations of a 12V vehicle battery that fluctuates between 10.5V to 14.4V. (2) Low voltage at the DC power
source. (3) Voltage drop on the cables and wires between the DC power source and AC/DC power unit.
13VDC / 4A continuous, 5A peak is available to the Transceiver for full transmit power
in any mode of operation from AC or DC power source. No battery pack is required to supplement the
DC power for the transceiver during transmission! The unit operates with or without the battery! Auxiliary
12VDC / 0.5A is available.
Supports the remote control features of the standard battery boxes.
One 12V / 2AH High power, high density Sealed Lead-Acid rechargeable battery is included
with the Power/Comm unit. Battery charge time is between 1-4 hours.
Safety first! To prevent a battery safety hazard and possible rapid venting/explosion
the user can not connect a primary Lithium battery (BA-5590/U), NiCd (BB-590/U), NiMH (BB-390A/U) or
any other non-compatible battery to the unit.
Operator Safety! Separate input cables and connectors for AC input and DC input isolate the
AC power source from the DC power source and prevent electrical shock and safety hazard. Both cables
are included with the unit.
Fully automatic self-contained unit. No user intervention or setup is required!
The unit is fully protected against:
AC and DC Input noise and voltage surge to 600V.
External Electro-magnetic interference (EMI/RFI).
Over-Temperature, Over-Voltage and Continuous short circuit.
Internal self-resettable fuses reset automatically without the need for user intervention
One AC fuse and a spare fuse are accessible to the user without using tools.
The Operating Temperature is -40°C to +70°C to match the transceiver's operating temperature range.
The extended temperature range accommodates operation under extreme arctic or desert weather condition.
Identical in size to the standard Battery boxes CY-8523. Weighs only 4 lbs (including the battery).
