Power and Ground
Connection
General All Consolettes should have a separate AC power circuit with proper current
and voltage for Consolette operation. Refer to the specifications section in the
front of this manual for AC requirements of each model. The power lines should
be installed in accordance with local electrical codes. A substantial earth
ground must be provided in a straight line close to the ground terminal provided
on the Consolette. DO NOT consider an electrical output box as a substantial
earth ground. See “Lightning and Surge Suppression” on page ix for additional
grounding recommendations.
The AC power line leading to the selected site for the Consolette may be
installed prior to installation of the Consolette itself.

NOTE: Replacement 115 VAC power cords may be ordered from
Motorola as kit number HLN6282A.
Even if a three-wire grounding AC power source is
available, the radio equipment must be grounded
separately to prevent electrical shock hazards and
provide lightning protection.
The Consolette is shipped standard from the
factory for operation from a 115 VAC power
source. For 230 VAC operation, remove the
Consolette top cover (see “Disassembly and
Reassembly” on page 38) and slide the AC power
selector switch, located on the Consolette power
supply, to the 230 VAC position. Install the
appropriate AC power connector on the end of the
115 VAC power cord provided with the Consolette.
