The M2-ATX is an intelligent, high power, automotive (car / boat / electric cart) 12V DC-DC ATX PC power supply designed for car PC and battery powered applications. Designed to provide power and to control the ON/OFF switch of a motherboard (car PC) based on ignition status, the M2-ATX is a wide input (6 to 24V) vehicle / car / battery operated ATX power supply capable of surviving tough car engine cranks (down to 6V) as well as transient over-voltage situations.
The M2-ATX has 8 user selectable micro-controller driven timing modes, allowing you to choose up to 8 ignition/shutdown car pc timing schemes via a built-in shutdown controller. By removing all user-selectable jumpers, M2-ATX becomes a traditional PC PSU with no ignition control (shutdown controller bypassed) and it can be used in non-vehicle computer applications.
Even if your computer is totally OFF, a PC will still consume a few hundred milliWatts, needed to monitor PC ON/OFF status. When the computer (car PC) is in the suspend/sleep mode, it will consume even more power, because the RAM needs to be powered at all times. The power consumption in the suspend mode is few Watts. No matter how big your car battery is, it will eventually drain your vehicle / car battery in a matter of days.
While in deep sleep mode, the M2-ATX constantly monitors your car battery voltage levels, preventing deep discharge situations by automatically shutting down (using a built-in shutdown controller) until battery levels reach safe levels again. Rest assured you will have no more dead batteries.
