4.2 Power Supply
Proceed in accordance with wiring diagram on following page. Connect short 3-
core connecting cable supplied by a suitable connector to your 12 V vehicle
mains.
For a 24 V vehicle mains, a 24V/12V transformer will be required.
Use a cable section of min. 4 mm
2
for voltage supply to keep cable losses to a
minimum. The AutoSat2 should ideally be directly connected to the battery by a
dedicated supply cable. Ensure that no other major users are connected to the
same supply cable. If so, the cable section must be of a suitable larger size.
Connect blue cable of 1 mm
2
to terminal 15 (ignition on) and/or D+ (alternator).
This will ensure automatic retraction to stationary position of the unit when
starting to drive. Both a 12 V and 24 V signal may be connected in this case
(applicable to control cable D+ ONLY).
Always ensure that system is fully retracted when starting to drive. When
the power supply is interrupted, the automatic mechanism will be unable
to retract the aerial.
The system is equipped with a polarity reversal protection system.
Please use your AutoSat2 only connected to a battery and/or to a stabilized and
regulated DC power supply with at least 10 A continuous current.
