The large circuit breaker (Figure 2) is used to connect the 12 VDC input power.
Make sure you provide adequate electrical power (60 amps minimum for 12 VDC or
30 amps for 24 VDC) from the battery. Use 8 AWG (minimum) wire directly to the
battery or battery switch. Long wire runs may require 6 or 4 AWG wire for proper
operation.

I. Power Supply
Electrical devices can be easily damaged by a weak or erratic power supply. The
better the power supply, the better the Aquis system will perform. At maximum
output, the Aquis system can draw 60 amps at 12 VDC or 30 amps at 24 VDC.
Connect the ground lead from the chassis frame or the negative battery terminal. Use
the same size wire as the power lead.
DO NOT connect the main power leads to small leads that are supplying some other
device such as a light bar or siren.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage or short circuit the wires leading to the circuit
breaker. Only the Aquis system is protected by the circuit breaker.
