User Manual and Reference Handbook for the CC Pilot™ XL
Hook up of Power Supply
This instruction addressed vehicle installations but the principle is the same also for
other types of installations. See also the description of the pin outs for the Power
Supply Connector under the section External interface description
Carefully follow the connection instructions below. Make sure that the contacts are the right
way up and that they do not have to be forced, but lock gently and pliant.
GND is connected to the vehicle’s ground.
ON/OFF (pins 2 and 5) i.e. the computer’s ON/OFF signal is connected to the battery
or power source through a recoiling ON/OFF button.
Battery (pins 3 and 7), i.e. the computer’s power supply (+24 VDC), should be
connected directly to the vehicle’s battery (G1) through an 8A fuse (F1).
Preheating (pin 4) allows preheating, of the hard disk.
By connecting the power supply according to above, the on-board computer will start
by a short push signal on the ON/OFF button, equal to starting a normal PC computer.
To shut down the CC Pilot™ XL, push the ON/OFF button again or or use the
operating system shut down functionality.
NB! The on-board computer should not be connected so that it is turned on and off
using the ignition key, as this leads to the computer re-starting at an engine failure, for
example.
