Introducing the FTB-1v2 and FTB-1v2 Pro
FTB-1v2 and FTB-1v2 Pro 13
Power Sources
Power Sources
Your unit operates with the following power sources:
 AC/DC power adapter (connected to standard power outlet—indoor
use only). Compatible car outlet adapter available upon request for all
models, except the high-power dual carrier.
When it is connected to an external power source with the AC/DC
power adapter, the unit will function even if no battery is present.
 Lithium-ion rechargeable batteries (automatically take over if you
disconnect the unit from its external power source). All models, except
the high-power dual carrier, have one battery. The high-power dual
carrier has two batteries.
 Possible to switch from an external power source to battery power
or vice versa without affecting operation.
 The batteries recharge automatically when the unit is connected to
an external power source (with the AC/DC power adapter or car
outlet adapter, when applicable).
Note: When the ambient temperature is below 0 °C (32 °F) or when it reaches or
exceeds about 40 °C, the batteries can either charge more slowly than
usual, or not charge at all, depending on the internal temperature of your
unit.
For more information, see Electrical Safety Information on page 21.
Automatic Fan Speed Management
Your unit will determine the most appropriate fan speed, depending on the
power requirements and the type of modules you are using.
If the temperature keeps rising and reaches the limit: your FTB-1v2 and
FTB-1v2 Pro will turn off to protect both the module(s) and the platform
itself.
