Samlex SEC-1212P Desktop Switching Power Supply for the Motorola APX 8500 Radio

Samlex SEC-1212P Desktop Switching Power Supply for the Motorola APX 8500 Radio

In the world of radio communications, a dependable power source is just as important as a high-performance radio. This is where the Samlex SEC-1212P Desktop Switching Power Supply comes into play for Motorola APX 8500 radio users.



The APX 8500 High Power model, new for 2018, provides up to 100W of transmitter power for exceptional reach and coverage. It's great for incident commanders that need to coordinate many teams across multiple frequency bands, especially when network infrastructure is absent.



For mobile deployment, it connects to the VML750 LTE vehicle modem via the micro-USB interface and uses a broadband network to build an in-car ecosystem for offloading data applications in the field, boosting the safety and efficiency of public safety users in and around the vehicle.

However, in order to fully realize its potential, a reliable and efficient power supply, such as the Samlex SEC-1212P, is required.




What Makes Samlex SEC-1212P Unique:

High Efficiency: Because the SEC-1212P is built with modern switch-mode technology, it is both energy efficient and dependable. This is vital for the APX 8500's long-term functioning, especially in critical situations.

With a universal AC input range of 100 to 240 volts, the SEC-1212P is suitable for a wide range of power grids, making it excellent for global operations, which is a common scenario for APX 8500 users. Connection from the power supply to radio is via the Modular Connector Cable shown below.


Do not connect bare stranded wire end directly to the DC output terminal as the strands will spread out when the set screw is tightened and all the strands may not be pinched firmly under the set screw.

Compact and Durable: The SEC-1212P fits seamlessly in a variety of situations, from control rooms to mobile units, thanks to its tiny size and strong design, complementing the APX 8500's versatility.

Noise Reduction: The ability of the SEC-1212P to eliminate output voltage ripple and RFI is one of its important advantages, guaranteeing that the APX 8500 functions without any power-related interference, which is critical for clear communication.

Safety & Compliance: In communication equipment, safety is vital, and the SEC-1212P's compliance with UL, FCC, and CE standards assures that it is as safe as it is effective.

Samlex SEC-12XX Series come in 10A, 23A and 35A output units all rated for 13.8 VDC. in addition, the SEC-1212 and the SEC-1223 units are provided with radio cabinets to fit your power supply and the radio unit itself. Compatibility is with the following models: Icom, Hytera, Tait, Kenwood, Yaesu, Vertex, Harris (M/A Com) and Motorola.
