Power Supply
Vehicle power input for the VX5 is 12V to 80V DC and is accepted without the need to perform
any manual adjustments within the VX5. See the section titled “Installation”, sub-section titled
“Vehicle 12-80V DC Direct Connection.” An optional Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)
battery pack is available for the vehicle power supply connection.
If 12V to 80V DC power is not available – for example, in an office environment – an optional
external Input Power Supply can be used to convert AC wall power to an appropriate DC level.
See the section titled “Installation”, sub-section titled “External Power Supply.”
Power input is fused for protection and the fuse is externally accessible. See section titled
“Installation”, sub-section titled “Fuse Replacement for the VX5.”
Uninterruptible Power Supply Battery Pack
An optional Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) battery pack is designed to provide power to the
VX5 for short periods of time when vehicle power is unavailable (such as when vehicle batteries
are swapped). Fully charged, the UPS battery powers the VX5 for a minimum of 15 minutes at
25º C (77º F) ambient temperature.
The Power Status LED on the VX5 indicates the UPS battery status:
Green – Running on 12V – 80V power input
Solid Yellow – Running on UPS battery, battery is not low on power
Flashing Yellow – Running on UPS battery, battery is critically low.
Backup Battery
The internal 190 mAh Lithium backup (coin cell) battery provides power to maintain the real time
clock when the VX5 is not powered from an external source. The backup battery requires no user
intervention. Replacement must be performed by LXE.
Caution
