Step 9. Connect power supply
You have some options in how you power your QGFSP:
•
QUALCOMM Power Supply
•
AC to DC converter
•
Motor generator
•
Battery power
•
Solar panel
Each source of power requires installation that is unique to the type
of power source. Follow the instructions provided with the power
supply. In this section, we talk about how to connect the power
supply to the QGFSP.
1. Run the power cord from the
power source to the junction
box. Normally, the power
supply should provide 12 volts
and at least 3 A. Voltage
measured at the +12 V terminal
of the junction box must be
between 10.5 and 16 VDC.
2. Connect the power supply wires
to the junction box as shown in
Figure 24.

Note
Solar power may be installed between the RAU and the
junction box. All other types of power connect only to the
junction box.
QUALCOMM Power Supply, Model GPO-1000
This is the power supply sold with the enhanced kit. It includes:
•
Two 2.44 meter (8 foot) AC line cords for use in the U.S., South
America, and Europe.
•
4.5 A/hour backup battery (average output of 12 V). The backup
battery for the power supply offers approximately 3.5 hours of
talk time or 24 hours of standby time.
•
12 VDC output cable at 7.5 meters (25 feet).
AC to DC Converter
12 V
An AD/DC converter should operate at 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz,
with output rated 12 VDC, 3 A.
Motor Generator
A motor generator requires a two-wire terminal for 12 VDC.
Battery Power
If you are using a battery for a power supply, use the instructions
supplied with the battery.
Solar Power
The solar panel must produce 12 VDC and usually includes a 12 volt
backup battery.
