The Powered Vehicle Cradle draws no more than 1.9 A @ 12 VDC or 0.95 A @ 
24 VDC. Any additional wiring, connectors or disconnects used should be rated for at 
least 4A. The Powered Vehicle Cradle and peripherals can be used with both negative 
ground systems when using the Power Extension cable. Peripheral wiring should be 
closely examined to avoid ground loops in positive ground systems.
There is the option of connecting power to the cradle before or after the ‘key’ switch.
- It is preferable to wire after the key switch. In this configuration, when the key is 
turned ON, the vehicle will power the cradle and docked Ikôn, charging the internal 
battery when needed. When the vehicle ignition is OFF, the Ikôn docked in the cradle 
will run on its internal battery.
- However, if the operator switches the key off repeatedly for long periods during a 
shift, it may make more sense to wire the vehicle cradle before the switch. In this 
case, the Ikôn will always operate from vehicle power and that power will charge the 
battery when needed.
- Keep in mind that the Ikôn will continue to operate with or without vehicle power as 
long as the internal battery has sufficient charge.
7.10.4 USB And Serial Connections
The Powered Vehicle Cradle full configuration consists of two serial DE-9M ports and one 
USB Type A port located at the base of the product. These are COM and USB ports that 
allow the communication of serial and USB devices with the Ikôn. These ports are:
One powered USB A (Host).
One full Serial port.
One Serial port that provides power over pin 9. This port is located nearest the front 
LED and is marked as COM 6 in Figure 7.14.
Important: Depending on the configuration, the CH1005A Powered Vehicle Cradle 
has up to three data connectors and one power connector.
