How to power Autocom Systems?

There are basically two ways the Autocom systems can be powered... Portably or 12volt Bike Powered. 

The new Logic systems can both be powered portably using standard AA batteries (x3), or alternatively connected to the bike's 12volt power.

The Super-Pro-Auto can ONLY be powered by a bikes 12volt system.

It is important to note however that good quality batteries are expensive, and that in certain circumstances, like if you are continuously listening to music, they will wear out faster.  The best option therefore to powering the main units, is via your bike's battery system.

Logic / Logic Wireless (Portable & Battery Powered)

The Logic units come ready to run on AA batteries ONLY.

The Logic can also be wired to your bike's electrical system by using the optional 12volt Power Lead (code: 2427).  Using this optional lead allows the Logic to easily connect to your bike's 12volt system, and saves the need to constantly replace batteries.

Super-Pro-Auto (12volt ONLY)

The Super-Pro-Auto unit is designed to be powered from the Bike's 12volt system only.

The unit comes with a twin core cable, with one cable for "Earthing" on the bike's frame or preferably direct to the battery, while the other cable is for powering to the bike's Positive circuit.  Please refer to the Manual/Download section to view the actual Instruction manual for the Super Pro Auto.

A further option for powering the Super-Pro-Auto (and Logic) is the Detachable Power Leads (codes: 1537/1538).  If you need to remove the Super-Pro from your bike after each ride, these two leads allow you easily disconnect the unit.

For those who want to connect the Autocom Units themselves, and don't necessarily have a garage full of cable ties and terminal connectors, the "Universal Bike Fitting Kit" can help.  This kit (code: 1528) contains all the necessary components and fittings required, and comes standard with the Super-Pro-Auto kit.

Please note that this Kit does not include a multi-meter or soldering iron, which may be required in some circumstances.

If you are not confident with 12volt power please consult a qualified Automotive Electrician.

Please also refer to the Autocom Powering Options page for further information on Power Leads.
