6.6 Power supply
Run the AutoSat 2 Control only on 12 V batteries or a battery charger or power pack
supplying a continuous current of 10 Amps DC.
Warning:
For 24 Volt vehicle mains, a 24 V to 12 V converter will be required.
A 4 pole connector with a short cable is provided. Connect the 4 wires to the vehicle power
supply with suitable connectors.
To keep cable losses to a minimum. use a cable with a cross section of at least 4 mm² for
the voltage supply. The AutoSat 2 should ideally be directly connected to the battery by a
dedicated supply cable. Ensure that no other major users are connected to the same cable. If
others are connected, the cable cross section must be adjusted to a suitable larger size.
Attention! If the power supply cable is altered or a different cable is used, make sure the
polarity is correct. If the polarity of the supply voltage is wrong, the control box will be
damaged.
Connect the thin blue cable (1 mm²) to terminal 15 (ignition on) or to D+ (alternator). This will
ensure automatic retraction of the dish to the parking position when starting to drive. Both a
12 V and 24 V signal may be connected (applies ONLY to the D+ control cable).
