Enclosure Sealing

When fitting the enclosure cover, please ensure that both clips are snapped into place to

guarantee IP67 sealing.

Power requirements

The AT240 operates from a DC Voltage between 5 and 50 Volts. We recommend that a

permanent 'live' power source is used to supply the AT240. If current drain is of concern, please

refer to the power management section for options to minimise vehicle battery drain when

stationary for long periods.

Back-up Battery

The AT240 operates from the external voltage source, with an internal back-up battery to allow

continuous operation for short periods without external power. The device will maintain the

battery charge level and seamlessly switch to battery power if the external voltage source fails or

fall outside of the permitted range. Note that the operating temperature range of the AT240 is

reduced when the battery option is fitted (see Specifications section). Please also note the

handling precautions for lithium polymer batteries as outlined in the AT240 Installation Guide.

Fuse Recommendations

Typical current drain is 25mA @ 13.8VDC and 14mA @ 27.6VDC, although maximum peak

current can be around 0.5A for short periods. We recommend the use of 1A fuses in the power

feeds and ignition sense wires.
