TC-1520D case
Accessory pouch
Replacement fuses
3.2
The TC-1520D case comes with an internal battery. This battery provides
temporary power to the TC-1520D system when the main power is
interrupted. It is recommended that you allow time for this battery to charge,
although this is not required for running the TC-1520D system.
To charge the internal battery, plug the main power cable into the TC1520D and an external 12 V DC power source. Allow approximately two
hours of charge time to fully charge the battery. Do not turn on the TC1520D case during the initial charging, as this will increase the charging
time. (The system battery will not be damaged if the case is turned on
during charging.)

4.1.3
RF Connector Ports
There are ten SMA-type RF ports (ANT 1 through ANT 10) and two
SMB-type GPS ports (GPS 1, GPS 2). These ports are ground isolated
and can be connected to any internal device.
4.1.4
LED Hole
The hole marked LED is only used with the PCTel SeeGull LX scanner.
4.2
The internal USB hub provides seven USB ports. The hub supports
USB 1.1 and USB 2.0. Each port can provide 5 V DC at 0.5 A.
4.3
The UPS is used to turn on and off the installed TC-1520D components
and to provide temporary power to the modules and phones if the main
power is lost. Note that the UPS can power the TC-1520D system only for a
short period of time.
The UPS ON/OFF momentary rocker switch is located to the left of the
USB hub (see the drawing in section 4.4). It is recommended to turn off the
UPS when the case is not in use. Leaving the UPS powered on will drain
the internal battery.
On top of the power distribution module is a green LED. This LED will be lit
if the UPS is providing power.
The UPS will provide approximately 100 W/10 minutes of backup power
when the main power is lost. See Appendix A for device current draw
estimates.

Beside the USB hub is a 7.5 A fuse. This fuse protects all internal
components.
Recommended replacement: ATO Blade Fuse 32 V DC 7.5 A, Littelfuse,
025707.5PXPV
4.5
All internal devices are powered via the 12 V DC power panel. All five
connectors are provided power via the UPS. All optional scanners and
audio quality modules plug into this panel.

Some phones require more charging power than the USB hub can provide.
The 6-pin connectors marked MOBILE/EU will be used to provide this
extra power to the phones. These connectors in turn are powered via the
UPS.

Legacy 12 V DC Outputs
These 2-pin connectors, marked 12 Vdc Out (1) and 12 Vdc Out (2), are
used to provide internal power connections for the PCTel SeeGull LX
scanners.

The 5 A fuse protects the phone power connectors and the 12 V DC Out
connectors only.
Replacement fuse: Mini-blade 32 V DC 5 A, Littelfuse, 0297005.WXNV
4.10
On top of the power distribution module is a green LED. This LED will be lit
whenever the UPS is providing power to the system. If the LED does not
light up, troubleshoot as follows:
1. Push the UPS momentary on/off power switch.
2. Check the main 15 A input power cable fuse.
3. Check the 7.5 A system fuse.
4. Check the power distribution board 5 A fuse.
5. Push the UPS momentary on/off power switch again.
6. If the LED is still not lit, there is a fault in the system. Please contact
Technical Support and have the TC-1520D returned for repair.

Vehicle Installation
5.1
For installation in a vehicle, please use the belts provided in the accessory
kit. The belts will secure the TC-1520D to the seat and hold the lid open.
Failure to use the belts could result in bodily injuries or damage to the TC1520D in the event of a sudden stop.
The mounting kit consists of:
All belts must be used in order for the securing system to function properly.
If any belts are missing, please contact customer support.
The recommended installation procedure is as follows:
1. One pair of belts (short + long) is used to strap the case to the seat on
each side. Perform steps 25 for each pair of belts.
2. Clasp the short belt with buckle receptacle to the front mounting hole of
the case.
3. Clasp the long belt with buckle tongue to the rear mounting hole of the
case.
4. Pass the long belt between the seat and the back rest, then wrap the
belt around the seat from back to front.
5. Plug the buckle together and pull the belt tail firmly until the case sinks
into the seat and does not move. You may need to apply pressure to
the top of the closed case to assist in this tightening.
6. Next, open the lid and clasp the lid retainer belt to one of the lids
locking holes.
7. Wrap the belt around the back rest and clasp the other end to the other
locking hole in the lid.
8. Pull the belt tail firmly until the lid sinks into the back rest.
9. If the case has free movement, continue to tighten the belts until no
free movement exists.

5.1.1
The mounting of the interior of the TC-1520D is adapted for left-hand driven
vehicles. It is easy to adapt the case to right-hand driven vehicles:
1. Remove the four screws located on the bottom of the case. This will
release the internal chassis.
2. Rotate the internal chassis 180 degrees and replace it back into the
case.
3. Align the four holes between the outer case and internal chassis and
reinstall the four screws.

The cigarette lighter plug has an integrated LED indicator. If this LED is not
lit, the fuse may be blown.
Recommended fuse: Fast-acting 3AG cartridge fuse, 32 V DC 15 A,
Littelfuse, 0312015.HXP.
5.3

The internal components of the TC-1520D cannot withstand the shock and
vibration forces that typically arise during commercial shipping. Therefore
the TC-1520D may be commercially shipped only in its original shipping
container.
Preparations for shipping:
1. Drain the UPS battery as described in Appendix B.
2. Pack the TC-1520D in its original shipping materials.
3. Do not pack any loose components inside the TC-1520D. This includes
the phones, power cable, and accessory pouch. Pack these items
separately in the shipping container. All fixed modules such as
receivers and AQM modules may remain installed inside the TC-1520D
case.
Failure to follow these instructions may damage the internal components of
the TC-1520D case during shipment.
