Po wering Nomad
N om ad is designed to be pow ered f rom external DC voltage. A nominal volt age
of 12 volts is recommended. The unit will draw approximately 500 milliamps at
12 volts. The maximum allowable input voltage is 18 volts. Nomad's inte rnal
battery functions as an un·in terru ptible power source. If internal ba tteries are
loaded,
six nickel metal hydride or lithium batteries mandatory as the internal
power source.
Never use alkaline batteries
in the Nomad. They will o nly last a few min utes
and
they will get very hot .
Nomad
will ke ep the internal ba tteries char ge d as long as the internal charging
circuit
is en abled in the engineering setup menu. If non rechargeable batteries
are utili
zed the cha rging circuit must be disabled or damage to Nomad may
result.
The charging circuit will take up to 24 hours to return the batteries to a
full charg e. It was designed to keep the internal batteri es ready for use when
external power
is lost. Nomad's intern al battery can be quickly changed if they
are drained by continuous use.
Nomad will dynamically adjust its power consumpti
on based on the amount of
inputs and outputs utilized. Due to noma ds efficient design very little if any heat
is generated by nomad.
