STOP!
READ THESE WARNINGS BEFORE USING COMMAND-RUNNER™
Failure to follow these instructions or heed these warnings may cause damage to the PodRunner®
unit, your vehicle or other property, cause bodily injury or death, and void your warranty.
•Always make sure that all components mounted on the lid are secure. Straps should be inspected frequently for proper tension and
wear. Replace straps immediately if damaged.
•Always remove antennas when transporting your PodRunner®. Failure to do so can cause damage to the antennas and bulkhead
fitting, or result in injury.
•Always make sure that both lid hooks are fully engaged prior to transporting.
•Never use the desk top as a step or seat. Damage to the Pod or injury could occur.
•Always refer to the PodRunner®Owner’s Manual for questions related to mounting and use of your PodRunner®system.
System Set Up
All system components have been tested for functionality, however, due to regional differences and personal
preference your Command-Runner™ will require an initial set up specific to your site. During the initial set up, we
recommend plugging the system into an external 110v power source via the shore outlet located on the outside
upper left corner of your workstation. Flip the main lighted power rocker switch located in the upper left corner of
the workstation into the “on” position.
Power Control Module
The onboard Power Control Module (PCM) is a full-featured power distribution unit. On the front panel you will find a
master power switch, overhead lighting switches, and a digital voltmeter. Inside the unit there is a 60A battery
conditioner and charger, a 600-watt pure sine wave inverter, AC power outlets, and fused DC power distribution.
The main power switch controls all peripheral devices such as power relays and lighting; however, even in the off
position you are able to charge the batteries via the enclosures shore inlet. Other switches on the front panel are for
the overhead LED lighting (one for the center light, and one for the outer two lights for complete lighting control),
an inverter power switch allowing the system to run just DC power.
Battery Condition & Charger
The battery conditioner and charger is considered a smart device. It will not overcharge the onboard battery, and
when the battery reaches full capacity it will enter ‘Storage Mode’. This mode will keep the battery at a safe full
charge without gassing or water loss, and does brief periods or higher voltage to prevent battery stratification.
The battery conditioner will also act as a 60A power supply even if there is no battery connected. This is a backup
feature than can be used your battery is dead/dying and needs to be removed from the system without an
immediate replacement.
Pure Sine Inverter
Onboard AC power is supplied via a 600W continuous, pure sine wave inverter located inside the PCM. The
importance of the pure sine is to ensure smooth power for all sensitive equipment. The inverter is controlled by the
master power switch and additional inverter power switch. Upon shutdown of the either switch you will hear a buzz
from the inverter indicating a low-voltage, this is normal and will quickly fade after a second or two.
