Samlexpower VTC605-12-12 Owner's manual - Introduction
INTRODUCTION
Step up a 12 VDC battery to between 13.5 and 17.0 or 24.0 and 27.5 VDC in 0.5 VDC increments (via 3
position DIP switch), or stabilize a 12 or 24 VDC power system. Safety features include reverse input
protection, low input voltage alarm, low output voltage alarm, over temperature shutdown and alarm, and
output overvoltage crowbar. If the input voltage exceeds the regulated output voltage, the unit simply
passes the voltage through with full LC filtering and a single schottky diode drop (0.5 VDC or less). Op-
tional features include a dry contact alarm relay output, and remote panel monitoring with On/Off control.
Applications include temporarily brightening 12 volt headlights or work lights, increasing voltage into an
automotive or marine ignition system for hotter spark and/or prevention of failures due to voltage drop
during engine start, stabilizing 12 and 24 VDC power systems in marine, automotive or aeronautical
environments and more.
