Parameter Specification
Power supply Tandem‑AutoBox n Two power supplies (each identical to the AutoBox
power supply). They must both be connected.
n All specifications stated here are valid for each of
the two built‑in power supplies.
Operating principle Two‑stage switching power supply with wide input
voltage range and independent output regulation.
Input voltage n 8 V … 60 V DC normal operating range
n 10 V … 60 V DC continuous operation (> 30 min.,
fully equipped at max. ambient temperature)
n Load-dump protection up to 120 V
Input current n 20 A at 12 V nominal
n 10 A at 24 V nominal
Overcurrent protection n 32 A foldback current line
n 60 A external fuse
