  • Page 7 White Paper COR IBR600 Vehicle Installation Guide Capacitors (caps) should be rated at least INSTALLATION, FUSING AND WIRING 150% of the expected voltage and a low ESR is preferred. Over time, a higher Proper installation of the power conditioning temperature rated cap will be less likely to devices in relation to the mobile device you are fail.
  • Page 8 11–20 must be connected to a fused circuit in 21–35 the vehicle. For the COR IBR600 this fused circuit requires a 1.5 A maximum time delay (slow blow) high interrupting rating fuse. If the supply connection is made directly to the battery, the fuse should be installed in the positive lead.
