    CarNetix PSU-PC19 V2.0 Installation Manual 1.2 Primary Output Power The PSU-PC19 Primary Output can provide +18V, +19V, or +20V (note: these voltages have actually been designed to be about .5V higher to overcome wiring losses in a typical installation) via jumper selections on the PCB.
  • Page 8: Startup/Shutdown Controller (Ssc) Overview

    CarNetix PSU-PC19 V2.0 Installation Manual 1.4 Startup/Shutdown Controller (SSC) Overview The PSU-PC19 contains a sophisticated, PIC microprocessor-based Startup/Shutdown Controller (SSC). Its main job is to automatically start and stop your Xenarc SC8 when you turn ON or OFF your ignition switch. However, it is also designed to help prevent HDD (hard disk drive) problems by inadvertently removing power while your Xenarc SC8 is accessing the drive.
  • Page 9: Installing The Psu-Pc19

    Before you begin the installation, make sure you take the time to read through these instructions. The PSU-PC19 is a sophisticated, microprocessor-based device. Please read these instructions carefully and contact us either in our Support Forum (www.carnetix.com/forum) or via email (support@carnetix.com) if you have any questions or problems.

    CarNetix PSU-PC19 V2.0 Installation Manual 2.2.3 Using JP3 ACPI Relay Output JP3 is the output of the ACPI relay. These are “dry contacts” and act as a short circuit to produce the ACPI pulse for starting (booting) your Xenarc SC8. These contacts simulate the power switch on the chassis of your Xenarc SC8.

    CarNetix PSU-PC19 Ver. 1.1 Pre-production Installation Manual 3.2.3 Stopping the PSU with a pulse After the normal power up sequence, and while in Runs State, the SSC monitors the Pulse Start input for a shutdown pulse. If a single shutdown pulse is sensed, the PSU goes into the Shutdown Delay State.
  • Page 22: Startup/Shutdown Controller

    CarNetix PSU-PC19 Ver. 1.1 Pre-production Installation Manual 4.0 Startup/Shutdown Controller The PSU-PC19 includes an intelligent, microprocessor-based startup/shutdown controller. The PSU- PC19 Startup/Shutdown Controller (SSC) provides safe, reliable control over your Xenarc SC8 bootup and shutdown (full shutdown, Standby, or hibernation) processes. The chief concerns of the SSC are protecting your hard drive from corruption, protecting your car battery from being discharged, and protecting the PSU from overheating.

    CarNetix PSU-PC19 Ver. 1.1 Pre-production Installation Manual 4.2.3 Bootup Lockout State After the Xenarc SC8 is powered, the ACPI (PWRON) strobe is sent to the motherboard. At this point the SSC enters a "Lockout" state. In this state the SSC will not allow the PSU to be turned off until after a Lockout Time period.
