2.7 Connecting the Power Source
The GSM/GPRS MT-GL has an input voltage range of 9 – 30 V DC. (See Table 3 and Table 4). The
power and ignition pins can support 9 – 30 V DC input voltage. The user has an option to connect
these wires depending on the desired functionality. Described below are the desired functionality and
their associated wire connecting procedure:
!
Use of the device outside of the specified voltage
range may result in damage to the device and/or
