Section 4:
EVO-HD Power
The Power operation is configurable and specifies how the EVO-HD will operate when the vehicle ignition is turned to
the ON or OFF positions. Two parameters control the power operation in order as follows:
4.1.
Ignition Shutdown Timer
The Ignition Shutdown Timer specifies the amount of time the remains EVO-HD fully powered
when the vehicle ignition goes from ON to OFF.
During the Ignition Shutdown Time:
1.
The EVO is fully powered and operational, including all high power consumption devices, such as; cameras
(including Pre-Event), recorded audio, GPS, Monitor, and the pre-event bu
ff
er.
2.
The EVO-HD will remain fully powered until the
Ignition Shutdown Timer
expires. When the timer expires,
the EVO-HD will then follow the operation for the
Days in LPS
configuration.
3.
If the vehicle ignition switches on before the timer expires, the
Ignition Shutdown Timer
is canceled and will
start over again when the ignition is turned o
ff
.
4.2.
Days in LPS (Low Power Standby)
When the vehicle ignition goes from ON to OFF the EVO-HD will first follow the operation for
Ignition Shutdown
Timer
and then the operation for
Days in LPS
configuration. The
Days in LPS
configuration specifies the number of
consecutive days the EVO-HD will remain in
Low Power Standby
before completely powering o
ff
. Using a
Low Power
Standby
configuration ensures the EVO-HD is fully powered on and ready to record within a few seconds of the vehicle
ignition switching on.
Settings: 0 to 10 days [default = 0 days]
During Low Power Standby:
4.
All high power consumption devices will be turned o
ff
, such as; cameras (including Pre-Event), GPS, monitor,
ECA® recording, and the pre-event bu
ff
er. If configured, Accelerometer, External Triggers, and the Manual
Record button events will trigger an event record. All other triggers are unavailable during low power standby.
5.
The EVO-HD will remain in Low Power Standby until the number of days expires. When the number of days
expires, the EVO-HD will completely power o
ff
.
6.
If the vehicle ignition switches to the ON position before the number of days in Low Power Standby expires,
the EVO-HD will wake up to the full power state and be ready to record within a few seconds.
The EVO-HD will draw a maximum of 20mA of current during
Low Power Standby
. Typically, a new or strong vehicle
battery will provide enough current to power the EVO-HD in LPS for at least 10 days without discharging the battery.
The vehicle’s battery current rating, battery age, and other equipment that remains powered on when the vehicle ignition
is o
ff
will a
ff
ect the maximum consecutive days the EVO-HD should remain in LPS.

Input Sensor Device Detection, Threshold, and Wiring Guide
To configure an input sensor, the signaling of the device must be known. To determine the signaling, measure the voltage
for the normal or inactive state of the device and the voltage for the triggered or active state. Use the input sensor
worksheet located in your installation guide to record measurements. When configuring sensors, first determine the
Trigger Operation; second, the direction for the Detection Type; then select the Threshold setting nearest to the triggered
state. The figure below illustrates these steps:
