Applying Power
The Sodera hardware is powered by three methods: the Frontline supplied AC-to-DC adapter, an external DC power source that can include power from an automobile auxiliary power source and an optional internal battery.
To apply power to Sodera use one of the three methods:
- Connect the provided AC-to-DC power adapter to the +12VDC connector on the rear panel and then connect the adapter into an AC source.
- Connect a DC power source supplying +12 VDC directly to the +12VDC connector on the rear panel.
- Install the battery.
To start Sodera , depress the Power button on the front panel for at least 1/2 second and then release . This action will provide a clean start for Sodera hardware. The battery charge state indicator LEDs will repeatedly flash in sequence while the unit powers up.
The front panel Power indicator LED will be green.
Should the front panel Power indicator begin blinking red, the Sodera hardware is approaching thermal overload temperature between 50 °C and 60 °C (122 °F and 140 °F) and should be shut down. When the hardware reaches thermal overload it will automatically shut down and the Power indicator will be a constant red.
