Electrical supply 

This equipment is designed for use with a power supply source of 12-24 Vdc. The application of any other 
power supply may result in permanent damage to the equipment. 

 

It’s the installers responsibility to ensure the diameter of the cables from the battery to the switching panel and 
from the switching panel to the SAILMON products is sufficient.  
For any questions contact Sailmon support at [email protected] 

Avoid excessive voltage drop due to improper cable diameter.  

Cut the cable to the correct length.  

Do not make rings of excessive cable inside the switching panel or elsewhere.  

Best  efficiency  and  lowest  battery  consumption  is  achieved  when  optimizing  cable  length  to  a 
minimum. 

THE  MINIMUM  VOLTAGE  ON  THE  MODEL  |  E4  CONNECTOR  MUST  NOT  FALL  BELOW  9.0  VOLTS.  UNDER 
VOLTAGE WILL CAUSE SYSTEM RESET AND SYSTEM INSTABILITY.

Large currents due to switching of electrical winches or other high power devices will cause under voltages for a 
short time. Model E4 will handle this short-term voltage drop if the voltage stays well above 6.5 Volts. A voltage 
below 6.5 Volts will result in immediate reset and reboot.
