4. Using the supplied fused power cable, connect the BLACK wire to the vehicle ground and then attach the RED wire to the vehicle positive DC supply. The MWS100 is designed to operate from a minimum of 11 VDC* to a maximum of 52 VDC and a maximum current draw of 2 A. * A low-voltage cut-off circuit prevents the MWS100 from draining the vehicle battery. The unit will automatically power down when the DC voltage falls below 10.5 VDC. Operation will be restored once the DC voltage rises above 11.5 VDC.
