7.0 ELECTRICAL INTERFACE SPECIFICATION
7.1 Power
7.1.1 Power Supply - absolute limits
Voltage:
10.8-42VDC @ 4A
Current:
3.5A
7.1.2 Recommended Power Supply
Voltage:
12VDC ± 5%, Regulated
Current, Peak:
4A
Note: if at any time during operation, the voltage falls below 10.8V, note acceptance and
operation speed may be significantly impaired. Low voltage at power-up will also inhibit the GV1
unit from completing its self-checking sequence.
