Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A circuit and methods for remote auxiliary power unit startup are presented. A first node is coupled to a ground by action of a momentary switch to initiate an activation, and the first node is coupled to the ground by action of a latching relay in response to the activation. An auxiliary power unit is coupled to a hot battery by action of a bi-polar relay in response to the activation.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A remote auxiliary power unit startup circuit comprising: a momentary switch operable to couple a first node to a ground to initiate an activation; a latching relay operable to: couple the first node to the ground in response to the activation; and decouple the first node from the ground in response to a deactivation of a second node; a bi-polar relay operable to couple an auxiliary power unit to: a hot battery in response to the activation;…
