    CVG-M unit. For example, if a camera uses 150 mA and a sensor uses 50 mA, the total power usage of the two devices is 200 mA. Since the CVG-M can supply a maximum of 250 mA, this means that 50 mA are available for other devices when these two devices are connected to the 12VDC Power Out connector on the CVG-M.

  • Page 12: Turning The Device Power On And Off With The Ignition

    All devices that draw their power through the 12VDC Power Out connector on the CVG-M are also turned off when the CVG-M shuts down, because they do not receive any power from the unit. If you want devices that are directly connected to the vehicle battery to also shut down when the vehicle ignition is off, you should route the power supply through the activator connector (Out1) on the CVG-M unit, as illustrated below.

  • Page 13: Configuring The Power-Supply Activator

    When the power supply to devices is routed through the activator connector, as described above, the activator must be configured correctly in the CVG-M's configuration: the Normal Status of the activator must be set to Closed, as in the illustration below. (For additional information about configuring the activator, please refer to the TV G System Guide, under Configuring Sensor and A ctivator Settings.)
