Configure power delays for power ignition sensor

By default, the TX64 device automatically powers on when it detects power on the ignition sensor, and powers off when it detects that there is no power on the ignition sensor, and there is no delay for either power on or power off based on the power ignition sensor.

You can configure delays for powering on or off the system based on the state of the ignition sensor.

You can also temporarily override the configured delay to allow for one-time maintenance activities (such as a firmware update) to occur after the ignition is switched off. See Temporarily set the ignition power delay for more information.
