Net-960CE-S Power
This chapter describes the various aspects of Net-960CE-S power, such as power
management, battery voltage, peripheral voltage supply and power down control.
Overview
The Net-960CE-S power is drawn directly from the vehicle's 8V-30V DC battery,
and provides intelligent power management options that reduce drain on the vehicle's
main battery.
The Net-960CE-S also enables the control of external peripheral power, backlight and
power lines for internal modules.
Both internal and external devices can be turned on and off, as required.

Battery Voltage Input
Net-960CE-S power is connected through the SER1 connector through connector pin
8 (+) and pin 5 (-). The nominal voltage supply for the Net-960CE from the vehicle's
battery is 12 or 24V. The operating range is between 8 and 30V.
The terminal must be connected directly to the vehicle's battery or VLU (Vehicle
Location Unit).
The Net-960CE-S has no internal fuse, and therefore its connected to the vehicle's
power source line should be protected by a 10A fuse. Additionally, a 4A fuse should
be added to the power cable with an inline fuse holder for HHC/HHD blade-type
fuses.
WARNING!
It is not recommended to connect terminal power to the ignition switch to
avoid unexpected terminal power cut off, which may have a detrimental affect
on the operating system.
