Power supply input. The power supply must
be able to meet the requirements of current
consumption. Care must be taken so that
the operating voltage applied to the terminal
stay within the voltage range. Applying a
voltage outside of the voltage range can
damage the module. For security reason, it
is recommended to integrate externally a 2A
fuse link between power source and FOX.
