Installation Of The Radio; Power Supply Connection - Albrecht AE 6690 Bedienungsanleitung

You can either operate your ALBRECHT AE 6690 in the car or at home as a base station. For
installation as a mobile station in the car, a mobile mount device is enclosed. Mount the set in such
a way that it is not exposed to direct sunlight if possible, as this would lead to an increase in the
temperature and can decrease the (set's) working life. The set should also not be installed near a
heater. Mount the set in such a way that it is exposed to as little vibration as possible.
The mobile fixing device should be attached to the dashboard, the tunnel slot or to any other
suitable place using the enclosed tapping screws. Do not install the set in a place where it could
cause injuries in the case of an accident (be careful to ensure free leg movement). Take care not
to damage any underlying wires during installation!
Then insert the radio into the mobile mount device. Secure the set with the large knurled screws
(using the enclosed washers) firmly at the required angle.
Also mount the microphone hanger using the enclosed screws in an easily-accessible place.
In order to prevent interference to the vehicle electronics from transmission in the vehicle, please
make sure to take any mounting instructions from the vehicle manufacturer for radios and
antennas into account.
Your AE 6690 receives power from the 2 pin fixed power cable.
The red and black wires in the cable are for the power supply. The cable has a looped-in fuse.
You can choose from two methods when connecting to the power supply (red and black):
Example 1
The radio should be able to be switched on and off at any time using the volume / on/off
switch. The radio shall keep the last used setting.
Connect up the red to the positive pole on the vehicle battery (or elsewhere in the
vehicle's electrical system with permanent plus) or to a 12 volt power unit.
Connect up the black wire to the negative pole on the vehicle battery or the power unit or
to a well-conductive part of the car body. (Not all body ground positions are good for radio
communication - in most cases the battery Minus is the best connecting position)
Example 2
The set should be automatically be switched on and off with the ignition switch of the car.
Due to it's EEPROM memory the radio will also store the last channel and country setting
used before, regardless how long it had been discontinued from power.
Attach the red wire to a part of the vehicle electrical system which is interconnected to the
ignition.
Connect the black wire to the negative pole on the battery or the vehicle body.
Note for all connecting methods:
For EMC reasons, the cable used to connect to the power supply should be no longer than 3
metres.
If you wish to operate your set at home from the mains supply then please only use a stabilised
power supply with at least 2 amps permanent current capacity. Under no circumstances should
