Chapter 2: Getting started
24 Starting up the terminal
Using the ignition system
Normally the ignition function is not used in maritime installations. Instead
you may want to use the remote on/off function described in the next section.
If you have connected the ignition system of your vessel to the I/O connector,
you may leave the power switch in the “on” position and the terminal will
switch on/off when you start/stop the engine of your vessel.
When the engine is stopped the terminal is in standby mode. The standby
current is max. 15 mA when the ignition is off. For information on how to
connect to the Ignition pins in the I/O connector, refer to the installation
manual for the SAILOR FleetBroadband system.
You must set up the ignition function in the web interface. For further
information, see
Configuring the I/O interface on page 138.
Using a remote on/off switch
If an external switch is connected to the remote on/off pins in the DC
connector, you may leave the power switch in the connector panel in the “on”
position and use the remote switch to turn the terminal on and off. When the
remote switch is off, the terminal is off. However, if you leave the power switch
on the terminal in the “on” position, you can always switch the terminal back
on with the remote switch. The standby current when the remote switch is off
is max. 2 mA. For further information on the remote on/off function, refer to
the installation manual for the SAILOR FleetBroadband systems.
Note
If you have the 19” Rack terminal, you must leave both power
switches in the “on” position to make use of the ignition function.
Note
In some cases, the system may reboot after power-on because of the
high start-up current.
Note
In the 19” Rack version of the terminal the remote on/off function is
normally not available, because it is used for the front switch.
