1.6.10. 12 Volt Installation Details
CAUTION: Adverse operation of the DVR
Seon does not recommend extending the power cable. Power drops
created by additional wiring can cause adverse operation of the DVR.
However, if a power cable extension is required, ensure that the voltage
drop does not exceed 1.0 volt by using the correct cable size. See Table 2.
Connections for power cables should be soldered and sealed to prevent
corrosion and voltage drop across connections.
Once complete, ensure the DVR’s voltage display is above 11 VDC with
the vehicle off and the DVR recording.
Important:
Both the power and ground wires must be of increased gauge.
