Heater
(optional)
Operating principle The heater is a PTC thermistor (PTC = positive
temperature coefficient). It regulates the heat output
power itself, depending on the temperature of the air
flow from the upstreamed fan:
• Low temperature -> high current -> high heat
output
• High temperature -> low current -> low heat
output
The PTC is switched on automatically by the AutoBox
power supply, if the temperature of the air flow is
below 0 °C (32 °F).
Power
consumption
2)
• 60 W … 200 W, temperature-controlled
• From car battery
Mounting positions • Horizontal position (with shock mounts below)
• Vertical position
• Not allowed: upside down position
Grounding Circuit ground is connected to ground of the
backplane, which is isolated from car battery ground.
Physical size AutoBox Refer to AutoBox Dimension Drawings on page 227.

1) In a Tandem-AutoBox two fans/two heaters (if this option is used) are installed.
2) The specification stated is valid only for one heater. Note: If you use Tandem-AutoBox with the heater option, two heaters are
installed and therefore the power consumption doubles.
