How to Supply Power to the CV31

The accessories you use to supply power to the CV31 depend on whether you want to replace a CV30 and keep your existing wiring or perform a new installation:

To replace a CV30 and keep your existing wiring, you need to purchase an adapter cable (P/N VE027-8024-C0).

To perform a new installation, you need to know the electrical rating of your CV31 and the vehicle you are installing it on to determine which power supply to use.

Note: The AC power supply for the CV31 has a different input connector than the AC power supply for the CV30. You cannot use the CV31 power supply with a CV30.

About the Backup Battery

If the CV31 is disconnected from external power, the backup battery can keep the CV31 running in a network connected state for up to 30 minutes. When power is restored, the CV31 continues normal operation.

An internal charger automatically charges the backup battery (within 8 hours) when the CV31 is connected to external power.

Vehicle Mounting Kit with a 1.5-inch (C-size) (P/N 805-813-001) or 2.25-inch (D-size) (P/N 805-814-001) RAM ball

Wall Mounting Kit (P/N VE011-2006)

Mounting Screw Kit (P/N xxx-xxx-xxx) to mount the CV31 to an existing 1.5-inch (C-size) or 2.25-inch (D-size) RAM ball

How to Connect a Headset

Use one of these methods to connect a headset:

Plug a headset into the headset jack on the front of the CV31.

Pair a Vocollect Bluetooth headset with the near-field communication (NFC) radio on the top of the CV31.
