ITPS and PW-70a wiring pics

In this picture of the ITPS:



Cable 1 has 3 wires into it (white, red, black). This is what I think you are saying to do with them.

Black: Ground to chassis
Red: Constant 12v power (battery/head unit)
White: Switched 12v power (ACC on head unit/cig lighter)

Cable 2 I assume is the wire that I will use the connect the ITPS to the power supply. Is this correct? And if so, how do I connect it to the power supply? do I cut the plug off and connect the red wire and black wire to corresponding wires on the power supply?

Here is the power supply:



I assume that when I mount in the car, I will cut off the 12v adapter plug off of the grey/black wires.

Black: (wire 1) will be grounded to the chassis
Grey: (wire 2) will be connected to the ITPS (how and to which ITPS wires (red or black or both)

Also, the power supply only has one FDD power connector and one HD power connector. I will need to power a 2.5" HD and a slim-line DVD drive from this power supply. How is this done? The slim-line to IDE adapter has a power cable comming out of it. Do I just plug this into the HD power cable. Do I just cut the connectors off of the HD and FDD power wires and use the 12v rail (the RED wires) from both as 12v power lines?

Also, where do I power the 7" Lilliput. Do I connect that the the power supply? If so how?? or do I find another 12v wire in my car and splice into that??

Thanks for the diagram. What about the screen, where would it get powered from? The same leads that go from the ITPS to the power supply?

You're better off tapping into a cigarette lighter power source for the screen, as you don't want to max out the ITPS's 60W or so. If you don't have the appropriate voltage regulator for your screen, you can tap into the ITPS 12V out wires as you suggested.

Hi,
the monitor lilliput quietly connect it After the exit stabilized to 12v of the ITPS, you will see that and' ok.

*off topic*

I read at essencompu.com that the PW-70a puts out 120W. Any Truth to this?

Lightbulb PW-70A power

The page at Mini-box.com says 'up to 120W', and later on the actual shopping cart item says 100+W , so it's somewhere inbetween there probably
