Vehicle Power Supply Installation Guide

Power Supply Options

Two different power supplies are available that should meet most 
electrical requirements. One is for low voltage, the second for 
high voltage. Verify that you have the correct supply for your 
requirements before installing.

• One power supply accepts input voltage ranging from 6-60 

VDC for use with vehicles using electrical systems running 
12-60V. 

• The other supply is rated for operation from 15-96V, and 

Intermec recommends it for use on electric vehicles running 
60-96 VDC. 

• Both provide 12 VDC output which is filtered and regulated. 

• Both supplies also provide short circuit, over voltage, and over 

temperature protection. 

You can distinguish between the two power supplies in several 
ways. Each supply displays the international symbols for input 
and output connectors, including voltage information. In 
addition, the table below provides other means of identification.

The power supply should be mounted to the vehicle chassis, or 
connected (electrically) via external wire to the vehicle chassis. 
Chassis ground to the computer or other equipment is then 
established via the power supply output cable.

Note: 

This document assumes that you have already 

installed the vehicle mount computer on your vehicle 
and that you have the correct power supply and power 
supply input cable for your vehicle before you proceed 
with the installation.
