Hardwiring Vue DPS Vue DPS is hardwired to the vehicle’s power system with its built-in 2m (6.5’) power cable. Vue DPS is compatible with both 12 VDC and 24 VDC vehicle power systems. Vue DPS must be wired to a continuous source of power that is not controlled by the ignition key. This ensures the internal back-up battery is fully charged at all times. Vue DPS consumes approximately 20 mA of current at 12 VDC.
The easiest method to hardwire Vue DPS is as follows: • Using the automotive test light, identify a non-switched 12V / 24V wire (a wire not controlled by the ignition key). Please note: Vue DPS consumes up to 1A peak current in very short bursts.
Other methods to hardwire Vue DPS include: • Wiring Vue DPS directly to the vehicle’s battery terminals. This is an advanced technique, and not described within this guide. • Hardwiring Vue DPS to the vehicle’s power system using soldering techniques. Soldering techniques are not described within this document. Consult an installation professional for more information. • Using the QUICK MINI or QUICK ATO fuse expanders to install Vue DPS without splicing into the vehicle’s electrical system.
