Power Supply; Uninterruptible Power Supply; Backup Battery; Pcmcia Slots - LXE VX6 Reference Manual

Hardware Configuration

Power Supply

Vehicle power input for the VX6 is 12V to 80V DC nominal and is accepted without the need to
perform any manual operation within the VX6.
If 12V to 60V DC power is not available – for example, in an office environment – an optional
external Universal Input Power Supply can be used to convert AC wall power to an appropriate
DC level. See Chapter 3 "Power Supply", sub-section titled "External Power Supply".
Power input is fused for protection and the fuse is externally accessible.

Uninterruptible Power Supply

A DC uninterruptible power supply (UPS) battery is available to maintain power to the VX6 for a
minimum of 15 minutes when vehicle power is not available (such as when a vehicle battery is
being swapped).

Backup Battery

The LXE VX6 has a permanent lithium battery installed to maintain time and date. The backup
battery is not user serviceable and should last five years with normal use before it requires
replacement.
Note: This battery should only be changed by authorized service personnel.

PCMCIA Slots

Microsoft Windows CE .NET Plug and Play operating system controls the PCMCIA cards. These
cards are hot swappable per the PCMCIA specifications.

CF Slot

The CF ATA slot is not hot swappable. The VX6 must be powered down to insert or remove an
ATA card. Since the operating system is stored on the ATA card, the VX6 cannot operate
without the ATA card.

SD Slot

The SD slot accepts an SD memory card. These cards are hot swappable.
