Using the Power switch
To switch on the terminal, use the Power switch in the connector panel. It
normally takes one or two seconds for the terminal to switch on.
Using the ignition system
Normally the ignition function is not used in maritime installations. Instead
you may want to use the remote on/off function described in the next section.
If you have connected the ignition system of your vessel to the I/O connector,
you may leave the power switch in the “on” position and the terminal will
switch on/off when you start/stop the engine of your vessel. When the engine
is stopped the terminal is in standby mode, meaning that only the primary
parts of the system are kept alive. The standby current is max. 15 mA when the
ignition is off. For information on how to connect to the I/O connector, refer to
the installation manual for the TracPhone FB500 system.
You must set up the ignition function in the web interface. For further
information, see Configuring the I/O interface on page 110.
