䵕 12 V / 24 V DC POWER CONNECTION
While the standard AE 6490 version is designed for 12 V (with allowed variations
between 10.8 and 15.6 V) standard car installation (with negative ground) the AE 6491
version can operate under both voltage systems 12 or 24 V (up to 28 V variations). So
the 24 V version can be used in Trucks or boats which only have 24 V power supply. A
switching is not necessary, the radio detects 12 or 24 V systems automatically.
DC cable wiring
•
Connect the negative (black) DC power lead to the vehicle chassis or directly
to the vehicle battery negative terminal if preferred.
• Connect the positive (red) DC power lead via the in line fuse to a suitable point
in the vehicle fuse box or directly to the positive battery terminal.
•
It is as well possible to connect the radio to a switched DC network section to
allow automatic on-off with the ignition switch, because the radio stores all
last used settings
• It may be necessary in some special cases to use a line filter against alternator
noise. This is depending on the position in the car electrical supply system
where you have connected your radio with + and -. If difficulties appear, we
recommend to test other connecting methods in the car installation as well.
