Switch on/off
« on: 07, January, 2011 - 12:21:17 »
Now a question: how to switch on/off all the C5's electronics ? Is there in the control box a connector to use to shut off all without detach the battery terminal ?

The idea was to install a low-amperage keyswitch like this:



to use to switch off the control box.

Alternatively must install a battery cut-off switch, also if the "unofficial" says: "Electronic component failures in the control box. The LM358 dual OpAmp in the control box can fail, probably due to large voltage transients on the 12 volt battery supply during accidental disconnect ..." so i guess a frequent battery disconnections/connections can damage the electronic circuits.

The C5 Alive wiring kit allows you to use the original switch under the seat, with lights on or off.
