5.4.4

Power Supply from the Battery

When the servo motor and lighting require more current than the 12 A DXBUS
current rating has available, the SLM must be powered directly from the battery.
Both battery negative terminals on the SLM must be used to achieve TÜV
compliance.

Note

  Heavy lines denote 3 mm² or heavier wire. All other wires from the 21 way

connector as specified in section 5.4.2.
