The design configuration can be customized for the installation (cable, chassis and mounting) to meet the specific vehicle needs of the end user. </P> <P>Most current military vehicles do not have power plugs available for 110V, 12 v and 5 volt, however, many soldiers have equipment which require these voltage sources in order to operate reliably. PADS provides a ready to use, rugged, drop in solution that matches the militarized design of the vehicle.</P> <P>Features</P> <UL> <LI>24-28 VDC Vehicle Input with main power switch</LI> <LI>Umbilical mounting capable  Direct wire into vehicle or through NATO connector</LI> <LI>Two 5 VDC USB ports  on/off switch controlled</LI> <LI>Two 12 VDC Scigarette lighter ports  on/off switch controlled</LI> <LI>Two 110 VAC ports  on/off switch controlled</LI> <LI>Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection on AC outputs</LI> <LI>Vehicle bar graph voltage indicator</LI> <LI>Vehicle battery under voltage cutout</LI> <LI>Circuit breaker protected</LI> <LI>Submersible with connector caps in place&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</LI></UL> <P>&nbsp;</P></FONT>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
