12V DC Power Adapter
Plug the hub into any 12V socket - truck camper, van, or a portable power station.
The hub wires straight to a battery bank, which is the right answer for most permanent installs. This is for everywhere else. A standard 12V accessory plug on one end, bare cable lugs on the other, so you can run the Guardian from the cigarette-lighter socket in a truck camper or van, or from the 12V outlet on a portable solar generator. Useful for trying the hub out before committing to a wiring run, for a rig you do not want to cut into, and for anything you move between vehicles.
-
Run it from a truck camper or van outlet
Most rigs already have a 12V accessory socket. Plug in and the hub is powered - no wiring run, nothing to cut into, nothing permanent.
-
Run it from a portable power station
Solar generators carry a 12V outlet alongside their AC sockets. That is the efficient one to use: the Guardian wants DC, so taking it straight from the 12V socket skips the inverter entirely.
-
Try it before you wire it in
Set the hub up and live with it for a season before deciding where it belongs permanently. The lug end connects to a battery bank later.
- 12V accessory plug with an in-line fuse
- Cable with pre-crimped lugs for the hub's power terminals
