4.5.9 Connecting the auxiliary battery to the MCU
Carefully read all safety instructions related to electrical installation (Section 4.5.1) before connecting the
auxiliary battery.
The auxiliary battery is required to power the MCU. The negative terminal of the battery must be connected
to the frame of the vehicle (chassis).
To protect the system against short circuit, add a fuse in series with the positive terminal of the auxiliary
battery. See Table 11 for MCU current information; Table 12 for fuse specifications and Figure 15 for the
fuse block diagram.
