NS-12-20 StartGuard
The abrupt DC system voltage drop that accompanies engine starting can cause micro-processor-driven electronics aboard vehicles or vessels to "dump" programmed memory. StartGuard solves these problems by providing supplemental power to sensitive electronics while the engines are cranking. Newmar's NS-12-20 StartGuard supplies backup power for electronics during engine start.
Mounting
Mount the StartGuard in any convenient location, such as under the dash or console, using the four mounting screws provided or #10 bolts.
Wiring
Input from the power source to the electronics must be routed through the StartGuard.
