Power supply
The C-pod can be powered by 12 or 24V DC. It needs constant power and it
is recommended to attach the power cable directly to the battery. Make sure
the power supply cannot be interrupted by switching off any battery isolation
switch onboard. It is advised to shorten the power cable to minimize voltage
loss and give more exact battery voltage readings.
The cable must be protected by a 1 – 2 A fuse (slow) or a thermal circuit breaker
mounted as close to the power source as possible. Strip the plus (red) and minus
(black) wires on the power cable and connect them to the power source using
suitable cable connectors/cable shoes.
