                   Ultimate Powerbox 

 

 

 

POWER INPUT 

Controller can accept voltage ranges from DC 9V 

 15V. We strongly recommend to use a branded linear or low 

ripple power supply unit of 

12V DC

. A 13.8V lead (or calcium/lead) battery is also recommended. Please use a power 

supply  that  can  provide  at  least  6  Amps  of  current.  For  your  observatory  needs  you  might  need  10-15Amps  of 
current.  

 

U

nit has been designed with reverse polarity protection. If you accidentally reverse the power source polarity, the 

unit will cut the power. The controller is fitted with a 2.5mm centre positive DC power connection which powers on 
the unit.  

 
Insert the 2.5mm plug on the DC power cable. Controller will initialize and the status LED will turn red after 4 seconds. 

(The 4 seconds wait time duration is on purpose for a new firmware upload process)
