PV- 5127: Power supply module with UPS Description The Micronix PV-5127 is a high efficiency PC/104 power supply for embedded, vehicular and automotive systems applications. It will withstand extended temperatures and the shock and vibration of mobile equipment. Micronix PV-5127 has an input supply range of 18-35V (PV- 5127A: 10-35V), which is convenient for automotive and low-voltage applications.

Users Manual & Installation Guide PV- 5127: Power supply module with UPS The mains supply is continuously monitored. There is hysteresis on the mains monitor so that a mains failure is reported when the mains voltage drops below 16.5V, and mains is reported OK when the voltage rises above 17.5V.
The layout of this connector is printed in the silkscreen on the heatsink. Output voltage indicators Three green LEDs indicate presence of the output voltages +5V, +5V Standby, and +12V. Page 8 of 31 PV- 5127: Power supply module with UPS " - / 4 9 3 4 #...

This cannot happen with the PV-5127 because it always turns off power for at least two seconds after a power-off command through RS232 or PC/104, even if mains power is present. PV- 5127: Power supply module with UPS http://www.micro- Page 19 of 31...
Charging a lead-acid battery while it is too hot may damage it. The PV-5127 has an input, J1, for connecting an external battery temperature sensor. The sensor, if used, should be physically Page 20 of 31 PV- 5127: Power supply module with UPS ST1 removed Fast charge current=0.5A...

Users Manual & Installation Guide PV- 5127: Power supply module with UPS ATX and Softoff state machines The PV-5127 provides several ways to turn on/off power. ATX compatible CPUs can turn themselves on and off using PS_ON, and UPS monitoring software on CPUs without PS_ON can turn off using either a RS232 handshake signal or a software command through the PC/104 bus.
SOFT_TEMPBAD. SOFT_ON and SOFT_DELAY are the “on” states, i.e. only in these states can the 5V+12V be turned on. SOFT_OFF and SOFT_TEMPBAD are the “off” states, where the 5V+12V is guaranteed to be off. PV- 5127: Power supply module with UPS Page 23 of 31...

Note that the PV-5127 does not have a very accurate clock. You should expect deviations of 10% from the nominal times in SOFT_DELAY and SOFT_OFF. Page 24 of 31 PV- 5127: Power supply module with UPS ' ( 7 3 : 4 ; " ! / <...
