NRU-170-PPC Series Ignition Power Control The ignition power control module for in-vehicle applications is an MCU-based implementation that monitors the ignition signal and reacts to turn on/off the system according to predefined on/off delay. Its built-in algorithm supports other features such as ultra-low power standby, battery-low protection, system hard-off, etc.
NRU-170-PPC Series 4.1.1 Additional Features of Ignition Power Control In addition to the typical timing correlation, the ignition power control module offers additional features to provide additional reliability for in-vehicle applications. ⚫ Low battery detection The ignition power control module continuously monitors the voltage of DC input when the system is operational.
NRU-170-PPC Series 4.1.2 Wiring Ignition Signal To have ignition power control for in-vehicle usage, you need to supply IGN signal to the system. The IGN input is located on the M12 L-coded 5-pin connector (shared with DC power input). For in- vehicle ignition control wiring, please do the following: 1.
NRU-170-PPC Series 4.1.3 Operation Modes of Ignition Power Control You can use the rotary switch to configure the operation mode. The system offers 16 (0~15) operation modes with different power-on/power-off delay configurations. Please refer to the section “Disassembling the system” to gain access to the rotary switch.
