Power Connector (power board)
The 3-pole power connector connects to a car battery for power supply. Note that the system
accepts a wide power range of 9 to 36V with in-vehicle power management that includes ig-
nition on/off and system on/off delay time control; please refer to the table on the right for
more information.
System-on/off Delay Switch
The DIP switch (SW1) on the
power board
(
X103- DC36) can be used to turn on or off the sys-
tem at a specific on/off delay time via car ignition. Note that this table shows that same informa
-
tion as the one in Chapter 4 - Jumper Settings.
