Mounting The Control Device; The Power Supply - AKE PowerCom plus Series Bedienungsanleitung

Important ! Before you start mounting, please read the following lines
carefully

Mounting the control device

The control device of the PowerCom motorbike communication system is
equipped with an internal microphone for noise measuring. Via this microphone
the road noise is continuously "scanned" and processed by the electronics.
The system will only work perfectly when this noise microphone is working
properly. Please consider the following when choosing the mounting position:
1. The internal microphone works much more exactly when it can register the
noise as it is really heard by the driver. Therefore, places which are too close
to the motor or to the exhaust pipe are not adequate.
2. Vibrations which are transmitted to the control device will cause errors in the
measurement and thus reduce the endurance of the electronics. Please use
always an elastic fastener but not too loose-fitting.
3. Choose a splash-proof position and avoid an attachment too close to the
ignition coil or ignition cables, because this could lead to interfering signals.
Appropriate places in motorbikes are generally:
In the rear behind the seat, under the seat, in the casing, in one of the side cases
or the top case, in the tank backpack or if applicable, in the sidecar. In rally or
racing cars the best place is inside the car in the middle of the roof.
When you have found an appropriate position, you can start mounting. To make
the work easier for you, a large velcro fastener is already enclosed.
On one of the narrow sides of the control device you will find some trimmers. It is
recommended to mount the device in such a way, that the trimmers can be
regulated easily. A warming up of the electronics box is normal.

The power supply

The PowerCom motorbike communication system is designed for the 12V power
of the vehicle battery and is fuse-protected with maximum 1 Ampere!
By an electronic power disconnection during undervoltage your main battery is
protected from over-discharging.
With cable connection to the helmet the PowerCom system automatically powers-
off when plugging out the helmet connectors. Therefore it is possible to connect it
with an 1A fuse directly to the vehicle battery, if the ignition line is not found.
this case, it is important that the helmet connections are kept dry as otherwise the
automatic switch-off might not work and battery discharge is possible!)
