	Superbly Engineered Products, Retail, Wholesale, and Custom Designed! We have several models of the DC/DC UPS control module. This one works in 12 volt systems, has a throughput of 5 amps and has the ability to drive LEDs or relays to indicate the status of the UPS. This is a microprocessor conrolled uninterruptible power supply control module. You can connect the module to the car's electrical bus and it will charge an external 12 volt lead acid battery of your choice. Your equipment, for example, a small computer, video recorder, or a car alarm, is connected to the module. This equipment runs off the automobile's electrical bus until the voltage from the car drops below a preset voltage, the "N" voltage (from 13.1 to 11.9 volts, depending on your needs). Then the external battery takes over. When the external battery drops below the "P" preset voltage (Between 10 volts and 3 volts depending on your requirements) the power is cut off to either prevent damage to the external battery or to run your equipment as long as possible. These controllers can charge an auxiliary battery from the car's alternator system. The auxiliary battery is isolated from the car's electrical system so that it will only operate the equipment attached to the load terminals of the controller. The load terminals power your equipment from either the car or the auxiliary battery, depending on the voltage levels of the two inputs. This allows your equipment to be powered from the car when car power is available. The DC UPS controller protects the auxiliary battery from being over-discharged. The control set-points of the DC UPS controller can be set so that the equipment switches to auxiliary power when the car is shut off. The setpoints can also be set so the the crossover voltage is lower, say 12.0 volts. This allows the load to run off the car's battery but cut off while the car's starting battery still has enough power to safely start the engine. One of the most popular applications is to run a small auxiliary battery that kicks in while the car is starting to prevent equipment drop-outs when the car's voltage sags.

The customer supplied mating connector shell is a MOLEX # 43645-0300. You also need three socket contacts to insert into the shell. These are MOLEX # 43030-0009. Power Pinout 6 spade terminals clearly labeled as: 3 Ground terminals External battery positive Load positive Car positive Status Pinout PIN 1. Negative side of the MAIN LED. This pin will be low when load is being powered from the main input. Maximum sink current is 30mA. PIN 2. Positive supply for the LEDs. Nominal output 12VDC. Do not draw more than 30mA from this pin. Current limiting resistors will be needed in series with the LEDs. PIN 3. Negative side of the STANDBY LED. This pin will be low when load is being powered from the standby input. Maximum sink current is 30mA. Weight User's Manual 12V to 12V DC UPS User's Manual Ordering See the shopping cart below The PST-DC-UPS-1212 can be ordered with a range of "N" and "P" values, as explained in the following table. Suffixes* Voltage at which car battery is cut of from the load Voltage at which auxiliary battery is cut off from the load Why? N13.1 (most common choice) 13.1 ±0.2 volts   Load is disconnected from the car electrical bus when the ignition is switched off N12.9 12.9 ±0.2 volts     N12.8 12.8 ±0.2 volts     N 12.7 12.7 ±0.2 volts     N12.6 12.6 ±0.2 volts     N12.0 12.0 ±0.2 volts     N11.9 11.9 +0.1 -0 volts   Allows the load to be powered by the car battery most of the time but still start the car (barely). N?? Tell us what you need, the range is between 13.1 volts and 11.9 volts. The tolerance is ±6 mV with 2% accuracy     P10 (most common choice)   10 volts When deep cycling of the auxiliary battery is desired. P3   7.5 to 14 volts When longest possible system operation is desired regardless of loss of auxiliary battery cycle life. P??   Tell us what you need, the range is between 10 volts and 3 volts. The tolerance is ±6 mV with 2% accuracys   **(For example PST-DC-UPS-1212-N13.1-P10 would be a module which disconnects from the car battery when the car voltage falls lower than 13.1 volts and turns the auxiliary battery off when it falls to 10 volts) Model Please allow up to 4-6 weeks for delivery.

A: We have developed a new module with power up to 120 watts. Click here for details. 2. Q: When the module turns off because both batteries are below their setpoints when does the module turn back on? A: The module turns back on only when the car's voltage is restored to the proper charge voltage. A new auxiliary battery won't turn the module back on. 3. Q: What do you have for 24 volt systems? A: Consider the 24 volt version of the 10 Amp backup module which will use 24 volt auxiliary batteries in a 24 volt vehicle.
