3. INSTALLATION
3.3 Power supply
1. A sufficient power supply of the system must be ensured
a) The system must be connected to the 12-V or 24-V onboard electric system.
b) The minimum cross-section of the wires connecting the satellite system to the power supply is 2.5 mm². For
wiring lengths above 6 meters, a cross-section of 4.0 mm² is required.
c) A connection to an existing line of the vehicle's electric system is usually not a sensible option. The wire
cross-sections are often insufficient, and/or the line may already be feeding other consumers such as TV sets.
The available voltage may then be insufficient.
d) We recommend installing a dedicated power line from the battery to the system.
The fuse protection (battery side) of this line must be between 10 and 20 Amps.
2. Power supply in camper trailers
In camper trailers, a reliable or battery-supported 12-V power supply is often not available. In this case, the
system must be supplied with power from the mains grid via a suitable 220 V/12 V power converter.
Do not use any battery chargers, simple transformers or unregulated power converters. Only electronically reg-
ulated fixed-voltage converters with a rated voltage of 13.8 V and a minimum continuous power output of 6
Amps must be used.
We recommend using the power converter available from us.
