These are
regulated switching power converters
(switchmode), designed to allow the use
of 9 volt equipment in 12V or 24V
vehicles. These 9V output converters
have been designed to be very rugged
electrically and can be operated
continuously at 75°C (65°C for
the 5A version).
These are also
known as 9 volt voltage reducers, and
voltage regulators.
Custom output
voltages are available from 3.3VDC to
the input voltage minus 1.5 volts
(10.5VDC for a 12 volt input, 22.5 for
a 24 volt input)

|
Protection |
|
Overload
protection |
If there is a short circuit
connection or other overload connection
is sensed, the unit will automatically
limit the output current and, depending
on severity, will go into a hiccup
mode. See Note 2. |
|
Over temperature
protection |
If an extreme over
temperature condition occurs the unit
will shut down until the temperature is
reduced. See Note 3. |
|
Reverse polarity
protection |
If an
in-line 4A fast acting fuse (5A for the
5A model) is connected as shown in
Figure 2, then the unit will be
protected from reverse polarity
connection. If the fuse is used
and there is a reverse polarity
connection, the fuse will blow and
protect the unit from damage. See Note
4. |
**Note: the
efficiency drops when the input voltage
is above 28 volts, derating either the
maximum abmient temperature or output
current is appropriate when operating
at the higher voltages

Note 1: Extended
operation at voltages less than 8.0 VDC
is not recommended although the unit
will work at voltages lower than this
with reduced load regulation. With
voltages lower than 7.0 VDC, output
voltage will drop out until the voltage
is increased.
Note 2: If an
overload is sensed, the unit will
automatically limit the output current
and reduce the output voltage. If the
output voltage is excessively reduced
to limit current, the unit will go into
a hiccup mode and wait until the
overload is removed to restore power.
This dual-mode overload protection
system allows the unit to be protected
from continuous short circuit
connection and other overload
conditions.
Note 3: Extended
operation at temperatures above 75C can
damage the unit and will void the
warranty.
Note 4: If the in-line
4A fast-acting fuse is not connected as
shown in Figure 2, a reverse polarity
connection can damage the unit and will
void the warranty.
