Desktop Power Supplies

The Desktop Power Supplies, popularly called the “Wedge” due to its distinctive ergonomically friendly shape, offer a convenient way to convert 12Vdc mobile radio transceivers for use as desktop base stations.  They will operate from AC supplies, either 115V or 230V without manual adjustment.  The continuous rating is 108W (9A), sufficient for most radio transceivers on the market.

We started making these for Motorola radios 5 years ago, now we have 18 varieties for 8 manufacturers.

Integrated Battery Back Up Facility

The product has a built in battery back up facility which will allow the supply to continuously trickle charge a battery which will automatically power the transceiver in the event of a mains supply cut.

Designed for Ease of Use

The wedge gets its name from its unique shape which is designed to angle the radio towards the user for ease of operation.  A microphone clip is supplied for each side of the radio (except universal units) for either left or right handed operators. A red LED indicates when the output from the unit is supplied from the mains.  If a battery back up has been fitted, and the mains supply should fail, a yellow LED will light, indicating that the output is supplied from the back up battery providing the operator with reassurance of the status of the equipment.

The ever popular ‘T’ shaped bracket allows the power supply to be fitted quickly and simply making for a fast and neat installation.

Can’t find what you’re looking for?

Alfatronix Desktop “wedge” power supplies are configured to suit a wide range of radio transceivers from many manufacturers – see list overleaf.  However, if you use a variety of radio types or cannot find a compatible unit, try our UNIVERSAL unit, P/N AD UN UNI. This uses a mechanical interlocking fixing system (3M “Dual Lock”) to fix the transceiver securely to the power supply.

AD Series power supplies can also be fitted with DIN rail clips for rack mounted applications

The desktop units are supplied with endplates configured to fit with your radio.

For a complete system, order our fully compatible battery back up box – P/N AD BBB (to include a 7Ah battery) or AD BBB NB (excluding the battery).

Product Coding

The product codes are developed to be as intuitive as possible.  Taking the Motorola AD MT 3100 as an example:  AD denotes the Alfatronix AD Series MT denotes the radio manufacturer (Motorola) 3100 denotes a popular radio compatible with this unit.
