3.3.3 Cable features
In the United States and Canada, the cable should be UL Listed, SAE type GPT Cable, min 18AWG.
Note
The cable features may depend on the recommendations of the country where the equipment is in-
stalled. The cable must always be 18 A WG or greater.
3.3.4 Configuring power management
The power management system of the Teldat H2 Automotive:
- stops the device from switching on until the vehicle has started.
- when installed, the device switches off a short time after the vehicle turns off. The purpose of this slight delay is to
keep the device from disconnecting during short stops.
This feature is configured using the internal micro-switches (SW1). However, the duration of the delay has to be set
using the configuration command.
The micro-switches are located in the device, as shown in following figure.
Fig. 7: Power management switch
3.3.5 Deactivating power management
Micro-switches SW1 2 and 3, labeled IGNITION, must be OFF.
3.3.6 Activating power management
Micro-switches SW1 2 and 3, labeled IGNITION, must be ON.
Caution
This is a factory setting i.e. the devices are already configured like this by default.
3 Components and Power Supply Teldat S.A.
10 Teldat H2 Automotive Router

In this operating mode, the device expects to be constantly powered and the ACC / IGNITION signal operates as a
switch. When power is applied to the device (BATTERY /VCC) the device remains switched off. It will only switch on
when the ignition pin (ACC / IGNITION) sends a signal (+12 V or +24 V).
Similarly, if the ignition signal deactivates once the device has switched on, the device remains switched on for the
period of time configured through the set ignition-off-powerdown-timer <value> command.
