Important Safeguards
The stability of the electrical system in the vehicle is critical to the performance and reliability of certain electronics installed onboard.
These electronics rely on the vehicle’s power in order to be fully operational. AngelTrax components require stable voltage in order to
function properly. When connecting any electronics to the power of a 12-24v vehicle, it is connected with wire, which has resistance.
Anytime you have current flow through a resistive element, there will be a voltage loss. Therefore, a voltage regulator is often required to
help maintain the stability of the voltage due to fluctuating current draw. However, AngelTrax learned that most vehicles equipped with
a standard voltage regulator might not be adequate to maintain the correct voltage to the electronics onboard the vehicle. In this case,
the alternator needs a Compensating Voltage Regulator to vary the current flow, keeping the voltage precisely at the target value. This
will ensure the system receives the correct voltage to perform properly. If the Compensating Voltage Regulator is not available, then we
suggest a “Power Conditioner Stabilizer” (PCS5200) connected directly to the mobile surveillance system. The PCS5200 will ensure that
voltage is constant to the mobile surveillance system, thus proper operation and performance of the system can be realized.
