Appendix A: Vehicle Installation Guide 67 Appendix A: Vehicle Installation Guide 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 the car engine starts, the spark plug draws significant stream of
Appendix A: Vehicle Installation Guide 68 instantaneous electrical power from the car battery (ultra high instantaneous electrical current in terms of hundreds of cranking amps or more), leaving not much instantaneous electrical energy useful for other electrical equipment on the vehicle, therefore the voltage supplied to other electrical equipment drops significantly lower than its normal level. It is after such instantaneous high demand of electrical power that the voltage level returns to normal. The diagram below demonstrates the brown-out phenomenon when the engine is starting. Transient voltage, sometimes known as spikes, is generally very noticeable positive or negative voltage changes over a short period of time. Such voltage fluctuations may be occasional or may be periodic. The fluctuations are typically caused by interference from the electrical-mechanical components in the vehicle (alternators, electric windows and door locks, light switches, loose or corroded connectors or battery terminals, etc.), or even from additional electrical equipment connected to the vehicle‟s electrical power system. Without treatment, sharp spikes are a potential threat to your K530 as well as other electrical equipment on the vehicle. The diagram below shows some standardized examples of automotive voltage transients (ISO-7637-2):
Appendix A: Vehicle Installation Guide 69 Your K530 is designed to handle large voltage swings from 9V to 32V, in case of undesirable voltage transients or brown-outs. However, for best use and proper protection of your K530, it is necessary to regulate input voltage before feeding it to the power input of your K530. There are two ways of electrical voltage regulation. One way is to implement a power management block that harnesses battery power during engine startup. The more effective way is to implement a power management block with filters that further smoothes out residual spikes. Installation General Guidelines Follow these guidelines for optimal vehicle installation of your K530: 1. Place the router as close to the voltage regulators, such as power management block and filters, as possible. In other words, keep the power cables short between the router and the output connectors of the voltage regulators.
Appendix A: Vehicle Installation Guide 70 2. Use the proper wire size according to the expected current load. Please see the table below: AWG Rating Electric Current Load (Amps) 10-Feet Cable 20-Feet Cable 3-10 14 AWG 12 AWG 11-20 14 AWG 10 AWG 21-35 8 AWG 6 AWG 3. To avoid problems caused by corrosion and other imperfections, use a dedicated ground wire instead of direct attachment to chassis ground. 4. To minimize noise interference, implementation of isolation or filters among the router and other electrical devices is recommended. 5. Ensure that your K530 is securely mounted on the vehicle. In addition to electrical requirements, also consider vibration and temperature factors when choosing the optimal location for mounting your K530. If vibration problem is noticeable, anti-vibration rubber grommets may be used to reduce shock on your K530. Also avoid mounting your K530 near a spot subject to extreme heat, such as a poorly ventilated spot that is near the engine or is prone to direct sunlight.
Appendix A: Vehicle Installation Guide 71 Power Management In this type of installation, voltage regulation is done solely on the power management block, which routes battery power to the ignition switch during engine startup, while rendering conditioned output DC power to the vehicle‟s electrical parts. First connect the long positive red power cable to the input of power management block, then connect the conditioned positive power output to your K530. On the ground side, connect the ground from your K530 together with the ground of the power management block and the ground of the battery.
Appendix A: Vehicle Installation Guide 72 Power Management with Filter In this type of installation, voltage regulation is done in two parts. The first part is on the power management block, which routes battery power to the ignition switch during engine startup while rendering conditioned output DC power to the vehicle‟s electrical parts. First connect the long positive red power cable to the input of the power management block, then connect the conditioned positive power output to your K530. On the ground side, connect the ground from your K530 together with the ground of the power management block and the ground of the battery. The second part further conditions power voltage with the use of a filter, which can further smooth out residual transients left over by the power management block. There are three types of filters: capacitor, inductor, and Pi. The capacitor reduces transients by temporarily storing some electrical energy in the electrostatic field (electrical capacitance caused by voltage differences between two plates with the dielectric material in between) and gradually releasing them over time. The inductor reduces transients by temporarily storing some electrical energy in the magnetic field (electrical induction caused by electric currents) and gradually releasing them over time.
Appendix A: Vehicle Installation Guide 73 The Pi filter reduces transients by a specially designed RLC circuit, which combines both capacitors and inductors utilizing transient-reducing characteristics of both types of filters. While any of the three types of filters will do the job, the Pi type is the optimal choice, combining advantages of both capacitor and inductor types of filters.
