Bullard POWERHOUSE User Manual
The Powerhouse Charging Station is the perfect companion
for your TACSIGHT Thermal Imager. Designed to safely
house and charge the TACSIGHT and an accompanying
battery, the Powerhouse ensures that your TACSIGHT will
always be ready for action.
Using the Powerhouse as a free-standing unit:
NOTE
Although the Powerhouse is designed for
permanent vehicle installation, Bullard also
provides an optional adapter kit for unattached,
free-standing use. Free-standing use is not
recommended for vehicles. The adapter kit
includes a back cover panel, rubber feet, an AC
power adapter and necessary wiring
connectors.
Installation
The Powerhouse is designed to be mounted on any
convenient flat panel surface in a vehicle.
Location:
Select a conveniently located, flat panel surface
of sufficient size to accommodate the unit. If the optional,
detachable transmitter/handle is to be used with the
thermal imager, be sure to allow sufficient room
(Figure 1)
for the handle which will protrude from the left side of the
unit when in place. The unit can be conveniently mounted in
various orientations; however, avoid mounting the unit in a
flat position with the open end facing either the front or
back part of the vehicle. As the required wiring enters the
unit from behind,
(Figure 2)
it is necessary to have
sufficient access to the area behind the panel to install the
wiring. In addition, the unit is secured to the panel by four
(4) 1/4"-28 stainless steel flat head screws which are
provided with the unit. These may be secured to the panel
by drilling and tapping holes in the panel (if it is thick
enough to accommodate the threaded holes), or
alternately by means of the four 1/4"-28 hex nuts provided.
