West Mountain Radio
Thank you for choosing the West Mountain Radio
RIGrunner 4007U. You will enjoy having a RIGrunner
with built-in high side current and voltage monitoring,
USB-charging, and durable, standardized Powerpole
®
connections.
Having proper DC distribution should make a long
overdue improvement to the convenience and safety
of your station. Think of a RIGrunner as the 12 volt
equivalent of a 120 VAC power panel in a house.
Special Features of the RIGrunner 4007U
Unlike traditional RIGrunners, the 4007U has
advanced features which are summarized below:
1. Automatic supply voltage & load current
measurement shown on a 3 x 7 segment display.
2. Automatic shut off on high (HVD) or low voltage
condition (LVD).
3. Intelligent USB port for charging iPhone, Android
and other USB devices.
4. Adjustable 7 segment display brightness.
5. External input for use with electrical/mechanical
interlocks.
6. Internal RF bypass capacitors on all inputs and
outputs.
Choosing a mounting location
Pick a location that is close, or central to, most of your
radios and accessories; especially those that draw
large amounts of current. Locate your power source
as close as possible to the RIGrunner. Remember
that every wire has resistance, longer wires have
more resistance. More than a 10’ run of #10 wire is
not quite adequate to supply the RIGrunner to full
output without a significant voltage drop.
Install in a cool dry place with good ventilation. For
example, do not put it on top of your amplifier or room
heater, or cover it with something. It is recommended
to not put it in the engine compartment of your car, or
directly on the floor of a car; rain from open windows
or snow covered boots may cause water damage.
Connecting your equipment
Recognizing that RIGrunner comes standard with
Powerpole
®
, updating your cables that supply or
use 12 volts DC with Powerpole
®
will improve the
convenience of quick connections and use of your
equipment. Remember, Powerpole
®
are genderless
and the same connector arrangement works for both
supply and load. Powerpole
®
can be used to charge
or power batteries, all using the same connectors.
Powerpole
®
can be installed by soldering or crimping.
Be sure to make good connections.
