Chapter 2 Installation
Power Supply
The DPM uses a rechargeable Lithium Ion battery pack. Charge life is about 20
hours with the Bird WPS, 50 hours with other sensors.
The DPM can use an external power source. Using the DPM with the AC adapter
or the 12V cigarette lighter adapter will also charge the battery. Charging time
from full discharge is 5 hours using the AC adapter. When using the cigarette
lighter adapter, charge time will depend on the car battery charge. When the
external adapter is connected, a lightening bolt icon will indicate the battery is
charging. The battery operates off of the external power supply unless it is not
present.
AC Mains Adapter
1. Insert the adapter’s barrel connector into the DPM’s external DC connector
(See Figure 1 on page 3).
2. Insert the adapter plug into a wall receptacle.
Automobile Cigarette Lighter Adapter
1. Insert the adapter’s barrel connector into the DPM’s external DC connector.
2. Insert the adapter plug into a cigarette lighter jack.
