Safety and Handling

The BRNKL Black Portable - NATO is designed for portable, temporary installation.
Follow these guidelines to ensure safe operation, prevent damage to the unit, and protect your vessel's systems.

General Handling

  • Always transport the BBP with the case latched.

  • Avoid dropping, crushing, or exposing the case to impacts.

  • Ensure cables are routed to avoid being pinched or crushed.

  • Secure the case in position during operation so it does not slide or shift.

Water Ingress Protection

  • All external connectors are water-resistant when disconnected and capped.

  • When in use, connected ports are not sealed — position the case to provide some protection from rain, spray, and washdown.

  • Keep unused connectors capped at all times.

Power Safety

  • Verify input voltage before connecting to the DC barrel jack (10–30 V DC).

  • Only use USB-C PD power sources rated for at least 60 W output.

  • Do not connect power simultaneously to more than one input (e.g., DC + USB-C PD).

  • When using an internal power bank, secure it with the provided Velcro straps to avoid movement and cable strain.

Transport and Shipping

  • Remove any internal power banks before shipping — lithium batteries may have shipping restrictions.

  • Coil and secure all cables before transport to prevent connector damage.

  • The case ships with an expanding foam insert and external cardboard box — retain both for return or future shipping.
