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
