We have made 2 more features in HP8441 compared with HP8440 it´s the following:
- Output 6 & 14 has a wiper parking function, this means that the wiper motor will be grounded on these pins when both of them are not active, resulting the Wiper motor to stop.
- We have made a Ignition Input, and a fused 0.5A output. It's then possible to put the HP8441 on Sleep mode with a Current consumption of only a few Micro Ampere.
The HP8441 is physically the same as the existing HP8440 except for it´s made with AMP "AMPseal" Connectors. The Maximum current of these connectors is rated to 17A per Pin, we have 5 double-pinned channels, meaning you can load 34A - We have tested the load to be as high as 35A per pin without problem.
The Box has a user-friendly CAN interface, this makes it possible to link to other devices such as a Computer, Switch Panel, Dash board, this feature makes the outputs to be operated automatically. (Example - when you crank the engine the fuel pump starts, when engine is running the power-steering starts automatically.)
CAN Values and status of channels can also be sent out on the CAN system; This could be for logging purposes or for switching on LED's on the switch-panel, sending messages to the Dash, ect...
The Powerbox has also some flash functions, making external relays for indicator unnecessary.
Also keep in mind - HP Electroniks software is free - download it, get their configuration files and try to understand this fantastic unit.
