CAUTION: Do Not Use Output Power from Noise Suppression Solenoid
Many school buses include a separate solenoid to power noisy items such as fans. The noise suppression solenoid’s
power out can be easily confused with true ignition power. If there is no apparent output from any obvious ignition sources,
consult the bus schematic or bus manufacturer to locate a proper power on source for the DVR. Don’t assume that the
tested wire operates exactly like an ignition wire, it may not.
