Avtex W215TS Smart TV wiring diagram
Avtex W215TS 21.5-inch television with direct 12/24 V DC input. The 21.5-inch table lists 30 W normal and less than 0.5 W standby; 2.5 A is calculated at 12 V. Retain the supplied centre-positive DC lead. The 12 V 3.3 A mains adapter rating is not a battery-fuse specification.

Wiring diagram
How the W215TS is wired.
Open this example in Crimp to use your own parts and cable lengths. Review the assumptions and installation notes as you adapt the circuit.
Normal 30 W = 2.5 A at 12 V; 12/24 V centre-positive input. Retain supplied DC lead and any factory lead protection. The manual gives no numeric battery-fuse or extension gauge; 3.3 A is the mains adapter capacity, not a branch-fuse specification. Manufacturer installation manual

Sized against ABYC E-11. The design current is the part's continuous draw. The length is one way; voltage drop includes an equal-length return.
Run-length and manufacturer assumptions
The editable example uses 3.048 m (10 ft) runs unless a shorter run is stated. Metric overviews round these to 3 m. Adapt the parts and lengths to your installation before choosing cable and protection.
Normal 30 W = 2.5 A at 12 V; 12/24 V centre-positive input. Retain supplied DC lead and any factory lead protection. The manual gives no numeric battery-fuse or extension gauge; 3.3 A is the mains adapter capacity, not a branch-fuse specification. Manufacturer installation manual
Supporting parts
- 2 m total of 1.5 mm² (16 AWG) marine cable
- Terminations for 1.5 mm² cable, matched to the equipment's screw terminals, leads or studs
- 5 A fuse and holder on the positive run
- Heat-shrink, strain relief and terminal boots sized to the cable
Check stud sizes, fuse type, run length and how warm the space gets against the gear you actually have before you order.

Which television and power figures are covered?
This entry is the 21.5-inch W215TS, one of three sizes in the WTS manual. Use the 21.5-inch specification table, page 28: normal power is 30 W and standby is below 0.5 W. The catalog's 2.5 A is calculated as 30 W / 12 V; it is not a measured maximum under every picture setting or attached accessory load. The 19.5-inch and 24-inch tables have different values.
Where does the DC supply connect?
The rear-connector drawing, page 10, labels connector 5 as the 12/24 V DC input and shows the centre-positive polarity symbol. The catalog positive pole represents that centre contact and the negative pole its outer return. Retain the appropriate supplied DC lead and check the unit's marking before connecting a replacement. HDMI, USB, RF and satellite sockets are not alternative battery-power inputs.
What does the mains adapter rating mean?
The supplied adapter accepts 100–240 V AC and outputs 12 V at up to 3.3 A. Its 3.3 A capacity is not a manufacturer specification for the vehicle's branch fuse or proof of an independent connector rating. The reviewed manual does not prescribe a universal battery-fuse value or extension gauge. Protect the actual supply cable at its source, retain any protection in the factory lead, and verify voltage at the television under load.
How should the screen be installed?
Secure the television and support as instructed, provide ventilation, and keep the connections dry. The specification lists a +5 to +35 °C operating range. Leave service access and cable slack without placing strain on the DC jack. Position the screen and its cables so that vehicle motion cannot damage them or obstruct the living space.
What is checked before regular use?
Test operation on the intended DC source, confirm that picture and sound remain stable, and check the selected aerial or satellite input separately from network streaming. Changing brightness and energy-saving settings affects consumption. Standby is still a load, so use a suitable upstream isolator for storage if required, after the television has shut down normally. Investigate resets by checking the socket, lead and loaded supply voltage before replacing the television.

Sources and sizing method
Equipment specifications. Model details, ratings and terminal roles come from the catalog. Check your unit’s label and current manufacturer documentation for its exact revision.
Example sizing. Sized against ABYC E-11. Boats built to UK or EU rules answer to ISO 13297 — check these figures against it before you build. Results use the example current and run length shown above. Set your actual equipment, lengths and installation conditions in Crimp before choosing hardware.
