Overview

Your K530 is designed for rugged vehicle use with IP64 and MIL810G
compliances. The IP64 rating ensures that your K530 is dust-tight and is
well-protected against liquid intrusion. The MIL810G rating ensures that
your K530 is well-guarded against tough environmental and climate
conditions. To ensure proper operation of K530, a stable power supply is
essential in addition to secure mount.
However, getting a stable power supply from an operating vehicle can be
a major challenge. Due to constantly changing vehicle and environmental
conditions, as well as different circuit loadings due to different stages of
vehicle operation and use of its onboard electronic products, the raw
voltage supplied by a vehicle's battery may vary largely. Therefore, if
untreated, vehicular electrical systems are generally harsh for electrical
equipment onboard. There are two types of voltage supply problems in a
vehicle. One is called brown-out voltage problem, and the other is called
transient voltage problem.
Brown out usually occurs during the start of the engine. In general, when
