Protection of the Power Supplies
T HERE ARE TWO POWER INPUT VERSIONS OF THE 8580/8590, AND SPECIAL PRECAU -
TIONS MUST BE CONSIDERED WHEN CONNECTING THE POWER TO THE TERMINAL !
If 12V is connected to a 24/48 V 8580/8590, the unit will not start up, but the unit
will not be damaged in any way.
If more than 16V is connected to a 12V 8580/8590, the unit WILL BE dam-
aged; THE VEHICLE-MOUNT WILL NO LONGER FUNCTION.
Danger of Electrocution When Cleaning/Servicing the Device
In order to avoid electrocution always disconnect the vehicle-mount from the
power supply before cleaning or servicing the device.
Charging the Vehicle Battery
While charging the vehicle battery, either the 8580/8590 must be disconnected
from the battery, or the operator must determine that the maximum allowed input
voltage of the vehicle-mount is not exceeded. (see “Power Supply” on page 15
and “Power Supply” on page 45).
Wiring
Do not use the 8580/8590 when a cable or plug is damaged. Have the damaged
parts replaced immediately!
Connecting or Disconnect Cables During Storms
Never connect or disconnect cables during an electrical storm.
External Peripheral Devices
The use of additional wiring and other peripheral devices, which are not recom-
mended or sold by the manufacturer can result in fire, electrocution or personal
injury.
If a power supply is used, only use the power supply recommended by the manu-
facturer.
Before connecting or disconnecting peripheral devices (exception: USB
devices), the 8580/8590 must be disconnected from the power supply! Other-
wise, this could seriously damage both the vehicle-mount and the connected
devices!
Make sure that external peripheral devices with their own power supply are
switched on at the same time or after you start the 8580/8590. If this is not possi-
ble, please ensure that the 8580/8590 is adequately protected from power leakage
caused by an external device.
