It is activated by the GPM through buttons on KP8 control pad or PROXIMA touch screen.  The activation switch can also be located in any area that is most accessible to the user's range of motion.

IIDS Power Booster

The IDS Poser Booster takes the current battery voltage voltage, down to less than 8 volts, and boosts it up to 13.6 volts. This means that if your battery voltage drops because of a failure in the charging system or from just leaving the lights on, your devices supplied from the Battery Power Booster will continue to operate.

IDS Backup Battery Monitor and Charging System

This product monitors your backup battery, beginning when you start the engine. If your backup battery is low, the system connects your backup battery to the vehicle's charging system until it is charged, or you turn off the vehicle. It will disconnect your backup battery if the charging voltage is too high, and will continue to periodically connect the backup battery to keep it topped off.
