The accessories you use to supply power to the CV31 depend on whether you want to replace a CV30 and keep your existing wiring or perform a new installation:
•To replace a CV30 and keep your existing wiring, you need to purchase an adapter cable (P/N VE027-8024-C0).
•To perform a new installation, you need to know the electrical rating of your CV31 and the vehicle you are installing it on to determine which power supply to use.
Note: The AC power supply for the CV31 has a different input connector than the AC power supply for the CV30. You cannot use the CV31 power supply with a CV30.

If the CV31 is disconnected from external power, the backup battery can keep the CV31 running in a network connected state for up to 30 minutes. When power is restored, the CV31 continues normal operation.
An internal charger automatically charges the backup battery (within 8 hours) when the CV31 is connected to external power.
