Covert ALPR Attenuator Quick Deployment Guide

Charging your Attenuator #

• Once you have unpacked your Attenuator, you need to ensure it is fully charged before your deployment.
• Do this by attaching the Victron Smart Charger to the Anderson plug located at the bottom of the enclosure and then plug into a 110 electrical outlet and allow a full 24-hour charge.
  Please note – if you have a battery bank extender you will want to charge it for a full 24 hours as well.

Charging Your Attenuator (Continued) #
