My 24v power supply that came with the mount died sometime today. My system was set up in the back yard and other than shutting down the laptop, I did not power down anything else. I just threw a

I was more hoping by now a more specific answer was available as I've never seen a manufacturer not have an actual specification for their equipment. Having a 24v system and not allowing for use of a

Liam, If I had known that I could unplug the fiber bundles from the two LEDs, that would have definitely made battery installation easier. But since this was not an option mentioned in the AP

For whatever it's worth, AP did not do the mechanical design of the AP hand controller. It starts out life as a standard, heavy-duty, industrial, machine controller that is pretty commonly seen in

Got it and it works! 😀

Well I’ve got it but don’t know how to configure APCC to use it. The only place I see to connect it is in the GPS tab and it’s not a GPS device. Maybe I’m missing something.

Jack, The individual optical fibers are not mission critical, and breaking one or ten of them will not disable any important aspect of the keypad. While it is good to be careful, you would not

George, I just wish a little more thought had gone into the design and engineering of the keypad. Placing the battery and its connection to the PCB below all those optical fibers should have been

George, I guess I got lucky! I received the replacement battery and, using the instruction downloaded from the AP website, I was able to access the battery. I did manage to disconnect the old

Good to hear. Don Anderson

Does "next year" mean 2021 or 2022?

Correct, this is only an issue on V5.001. All other keypads should be fine. Liam

HI Greg, The limiting factor the the upper end of the voltage range is the threshold at which the transient suppression begins to conduct, which will have a very wide tolerance. This topic was

Mike, that’s very helpful. It sounds like 20v into GTOCP5 is the min for 1800x If 24v is the nominal, what is the max voltage? (context: max charging voltage for a 24v battery) cheers Greg

Have this on the AP-UG as well. Trying to track down these two items. If anyone knows where I might find one that can be coaxed from the grips of its owner, please message me off-list. I have a 140
