Safety and Handling

The BRNKL Black Portable (BBP) 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.
