CM200 question

Post by CFD351 »

I have 2 CM200 in a low power RICK setup. The transmit radio only turns on now when connected to the RICK and the receive radio is powered on. Is there a fuse somewhere on the board internally that could be the issue or does having the radio set in the CPS to RICK Tx change it to where it does not power on without voltage on the accessory plug? Just a little annoyance. Otherwise everything works great.

Unlike the Waris and Radius families, the ignition sense in the CM's works a bit different. If the radio has been previously installed and operated with ignition sense voltage on Pin 10, there is a little reset procedure to get it back to what you want.

From the Accessory Connector chart in the install manual:

Pin 10 Ignition Sense
For optional 3-wire ignition control, connect this pin to the vehicle ignition-controlled voltage source for ignition-controlled radio ON/OFF. To resume NON ignition state, remove the battery connection for 10 seconds; remove the ignition connection from this pin and reconnect the battery connection.
