Power Supply

Internal intelligent automotive power supply:

• PC automatically turns on and off with vehicle ignition
• Supports the use of Standby as well as Shut Down and Hibernate (jumper selectable)
• Normal input voltage: 7.5V to 30V
• Peak input voltage: 7V to 36V
• External voltage dropper recommended for 24V vehicles, available separately
• Idle power consumption <3mA
• High efficiency for extended battery life
• PC will not reboot during engine cranking
• Protection against transients and load dumps
• Reverse polarity protection
• Automatic shutdown with low battery (jumper configurable)
• Automotive mini blade input fuse (externally accessible)
• Regulated 12V & 5V switched accessory outputs for powering peripherals (up to 1A)
• Remote output for turning on and off external devices, with 1 second “anti-thump” delay.  The behaviour of this output can be configured at order time.
• Configurable shut-down delay. The time between the ignition being turned off and the PC powering down can be changed using externally accessible jumpers.
• Configurable start-up and shut-down voltages to reflect the fact that battery levels and conditions vary between vehicles
• Hard Power Off. In the event of a software crash during shut down the power will be cut to prevent draining of the vehicle battery
• Post-boot lock-down. If the ignition is turned off having only just been turned on, a delay will be applied before issuing the shut down command, in order to allow the PC to fully boot before attempting to shut down
• Ignition input behaviour is configurable. By default the PC will turn on when the ignition input is active, and remain on until the ignition input is no longer active, at which point the PC will shut down. Alternatively a push-button power switch can be installed on the chassis for non-ignition-switched behaviour
• LED indicates PC status and assists with troubleshooting
• Externally accessible jumper block for configuring power supply options.
• Reset switch in chassis (recessed)
• 6-pin power input locking connector (break-out cable supplied)
• 3-pin power output locking connector (break-out cable supplied)
• Modified PSU firmware can be loaded for customers with special requirements – please contact us for more information
