Introduction

About the Product

This product is a power supply unit that generates a stable power supply from a 12VDC or 24VDC car

battery power supply.

Even though it has a compact, slitless case with dimensions of 86 (W) × 155 (D) × 44 (H) mm, it

supports a wide range of temperatures from -20 to 70°C. This product can be used to protect computer

systems from unstable power supply environments in which problems such as surges, voltage

fluctuations, and instantaneous voltage drops occur randomly.

It is equipped with a separate power supply output for external devices other than a computer, so it can

provide stable power to other devices in the same manner as the stable power that is provided to the PC.

If you install on your computer the utility software (which can be downloaded free of charge) for use in

Windows, you can start and shut down the computer by linking to the ignition switch.

This product can be used with the CONTEC models shown below.

BOX-PC : BX-955SD-DCxxxx, BX-220D-DCxxxxxx, BX-830D-DC7xxxxx

BX-956SD-DC7xxxxx

*1

*1: Use a consumption power of 24V/1.5A when performing cranking with the BX-956S Series.

Features

Supports the voltage drops that occur when an engine starts

When an engine starts, the battery voltage drops and may remain at a low voltage for a fixed length of

time. This product continues to provide the BOX-PC with a stable power supply even during this period

of time.

Applicable models: BOX-PC BX-220 Series, BOX-PC BX-955S Series

BOX-PC BX-830 Series

BOX-PC BX-956S Series

*1: Use a consumption power of 24V/1.5A when performing cranking with the BX-956S Series.

Power supply monitoring utility software is available for managing the power supply to industrial

equipment

The starting and shutting down of BOX-PCs can be linked to the operation of the ignition switch. BOX-

PCs can be connected to this product by way of a serial or USB interface.

Supports a wide range of temperatures with operations guaranteed from -20 to 70°C *

Stable operations of this product are possible over a wide range of temperatures from -20 to 70°C.

* After checking the temperature derating, adjust the load factor to match the usage environment.

A USB cable attachment is available to prevent problems caused by cable disconnections

The USB cable attachment enables you to prevent disconnections of the included USB cable, which

enables you to prevent problems from occurring.
