InteliDrive Lite, SW version 1.9  
ID-FLX-Lite-1.9r1 Reference Guide.pdf, ©ComAp – August 2015   
Maximum allowable DC power supply voltage is 39VDC.  
The  InteliDrive  Lite’s  power  supply  terminals  are  protected  against  large  pulse  power  disturbances. 
When there is a potential risk the controller being subjected to conditions outside its capabilities, an 
outside protection devise should be used. 
 
HINT 
The InteliDrive Lite controller should be grounded properly in order to protect against lighting strikes!! 
The maximum allowable current through the controller’s negative terminal is 4A (this is dependent on 
binary output load). 
For the connections with 12VDC  power supply, the  InteliDrive Lite includes  internal capacitors  that 
allow  the  controller  to  continue  operation  during  cranking  if  the  battery  voltage  dip  occurs.  If  the 
voltage before dip is 12V, after 150ms the voltage recovers to 7V, the controller continues operating. 
During this  voltage dip  the  controller screen backlight  can turn  off  and on but the controller  keeps 
operating. 
 
It is possible to further support the controller by connecting the external capacitor or I-LBA module. 
 
The capacitor size depends on required time. It 
shall  be  approximately  thousands  of  uF 
(microFarads).  The  capacitor  size  should  be 
5000uF to with stand 150ms voltage dip under 
following conditions: 
Voltage  before  dip  is  12V,  after  150ms  the 
voltage  recovers  to  minimum  allowed  voltage 
i.e. 8V 
The  I-LBA  module  ensures  minimaly  350ms 
voltage dip under following conditions: 
RS232 and other plug-in module is connected. 
Voltage before dip is 12V and after 350ms the 
voltage  recovers  to  minimum  allowed  voltage 
5V.  The  I-LBA  enables  controller  operation 
from  5V  (for  10  to  30  sec).  The  wiring 
resistance  from  battery  should  be  up  to  0.1 
Ohm for I-LBA proper function. 
 
4.1.4  Power supply fusing 
A one-amp fuse should be connected in-line with the battery positive terminal to the controller and 
modules. These items should never be connected directly to the starting battery.  
Fuse value and type depends on number of connected devices and wire length. Recommended fuse 
(not fast) type - T1A. Not fast due to internal capacitors charging during power up.
