Safety Precautions
Safety Precautions
Read these instructions carefully before you install, operate, or transport the
system.
Install the system or DIN rail associated with, at a sturdy location
Install the power socket outlet near the system where it is easily accessible
Secure each system module(s) using its retaining screws
Place power cords and other connection cables away from foot traffic. Do not
place items over power cords and make sure they do not rest against data
cables
Shutdown, disconnect all cables from the system and ground yourself before
touching internal modules
Ensure that the correct power range is being used before powering the device
Should a module fail, arrange for a replacement as soon as possible to minimize
down-time
If the system is not going to be used for a long time, disconnect it from mains
(power socket) to avoid transient over-voltage

Service and Maintenance/ ESD Precautions
Service and Maintenance
ONLY qualified personnel should service the system
Shutdown the system, disconnect the power cord and all other connections
before servicing the system
When replacing/ installing additional components (expansion card, memory
module, etc.), insert them as gently as possible while assuring proper
connector engagement
ESD Precautions
Handle add-on module, motherboard by their retention screws or the module’s
frame/ heat sink. Avoid touching the PCB circuit board or add-on module
connector pins
Use a grounded wrist strap and an anti-static work pad to discharge static
electricity when installing or maintaining the system
Avoid dust, debris, carpets, plastic, vinyl and styrofoam in your work area.
Do not remove any module or component from its anti-static bag before

PB-2580J-SA Overview
1.1 Introduction
PB-9250J-SA, PB-4600J-SAand PB-2580J-SA are standalone power backup modules that
can protect your box-PC against power outages. Utilizing state-of-the-art supercapacitor
technology, it can operate in harsh environments from -25 to 65°C, and have extremely high
durability lasting over 10 years. PB-9250J/ 4600J are composed of eight/ four 370F/ 3.0V
supercapacitors respectively while the PB-2580J is composed of eight 100F/ 2.7V
supercapacitors. They each store 9250/ 4600/ 2580 watt-second energy to offer extra
extended operation time to backup your system.
Thanks to Neousys’ patented CAP energy management technology, it can reliably supply up
to 180W power to the back-end system and automatically manage boot and shutdown without
installing additional drivers/ software. In addition to UPS-like power backup mode, it also
offers two advanced ignition control modes for working with either standard box-PC or
in-vehicle controller to provide stable power supply and execute user-configurable power-on/
power-off delay according to IGN signal input.
Featuring various modes, automatic shutdown control and up to 180W output power, Neousys
standalone power backup modules can work with most off-the-shelf box-PCs. And with
properties such as maintenance-free energy storage and uninterruptible power supply, they
can prevent data loss for the connected back-end system during power outages in harsh
industrial environments!

* To achieve > 10 years lifespan under 24/7 at 65 ° C operation, please charge PB-9250J-SA to 6525J/
PB-4600J-SA to 3245J energy level using the 4.8x SuperCAP Lifetime Extension setting.Once the rated
lifetime or cycle life has been reached, the capacity of supercapacitor may decrease up to 30% and ESR
may increase up to 100% from initial values.
** Backup time for uninterruptible operation may be reduced when sustaining a back-end system with
high power consumption.
*** To ensure PB-9250J and PB-4600J’s power backup operation functions as intended, please contact
Neousys Technology technical support if your connecting back-end system accepts only constant
voltage input.
