Frequently Asked Questions
The PB-9250J-SA is a standalone, supercapacitor-based uninterruptible power backup module for box-PCs and in-vehicle controllers. It stores 9250 watt-seconds of energy and can supply up to 180W to a connected back-end system, automatically managing boot and shutdown during a power outage without requiring additional drivers or software.
The module accepts 12 to 35V DC input through a 3-pin pluggable terminal block (V+, GND, IGN_IN). In charge mode, output voltage bypasses the input (DC_OUT = DC_IN). In discharge mode, output is 12V or 24V DC depending on input voltage (24V if input is 17V or higher, 12V if lower), delivered through a 3-pin pluggable terminal block (V+, GND, IGN_OUT). Maximum output power is 180W.
The PB-9250J-SA operates from -25°C to 65°C at rated capacity, and can operate from -40°C to 85°C with reduced energy capacity. Storage temperature is -40°C to 85°C. It is compliant with IEC61373:2010 Category 1 Class B (vibration and shock, body mounted, part of EN50155), EN50155:2007, and CE/FCC Class A per EN 55032 and EN 55035.
The unit includes: a 3-pin pluggable terminal block for DC/ignition input, a 3-pin pluggable terminal block for DC/ignition output, a 9-pin D-sub (DB9) RS-232 COM port to connect to the host computer, a 10-pin pluggable terminal block for isolated DIO (power button signal output PWRBTN# and system status input SYS_STAT), and a recessed reset button.
The PB-9250J-SA is composed of eight 370F, 3.0V supercapacitors providing 9250 watt-second energy capacity. It has an expected lifespan of over 10 years and a rated cycle life of 500,000 charging/discharging cycles. To achieve the full 10-year lifespan under 24/7 operation at 65°C, the unit should be charged to a 6525J energy level using the 4.8x SuperCAP Lifetime Extension setting. Once the rated lifetime or cycle life is reached, supercapacitor capacity may decrease up to 30% and ESR may increase up to 100% from initial values.
The PB-9250J-SA measures 82.5mm(W) x 175.2mm(H) x 128.2mm(D) and weighs 1.70 kg. It supports DIN-rail mounting (standard) or wall-mounting (optional, using the Wmkit-V-PB9250J accessory).
The unit supports three connection modes: Normal Backup Mode (general power backup use), Ignition Control Mode (for box-PCs lacking ignition control, ideal for in-vehicle use), and Ignition Relay Mode (relays the IGN signal in real time to the back-end system). PB-9250J-SA units also support Daisy Chain Mode to combine multiple units for extended energy capacity.
Estimated backup time depends on the back-end system's power consumption: 0-50W provides roughly 130-680 seconds, 50-100W provides roughly 60-130 seconds, 100-150W provides roughly 30-60 seconds, and 150-200W provides roughly 15-30 seconds. Actual backup time may vary depending on the connected hardware configuration.
No additional drivers are required for basic boot/shutdown management thanks to the patented CAP energy management technology. However, a Windows host system must be configured to fully shut down (not sleep) when the power button is pressed, since the module cannot recognize a sleep (S3) command as a proper shutdown. An optional Power Backup Parameter Configurer application is available to monitor and adjust settings over the RS-232 COM port.
How-to Guides
- Connect the 12~35V DC output from your power supply to the DC IN 3-pin terminal block of the PB-9250J-SA.
- Connect the DC OUT terminal block of the PB-9250J-SA to the power input of the back-end system.
- Connect the PWRBTN# signal pair from the 10-pin I/O terminal block to the remote power button connector of the back-end system.
- Apply power; the PB-9250J-SA will charge (approximately 15-200 seconds depending on charging current and input voltage) and then automatically send a power button signal to turn on the back-end system.
- During a power outage, the module supplies 12V or 24V DC output (depending on input voltage) to keep the system alive until it calculates it must initiate shutdown.
- Connect 12~35V DC power supply output to the DC IN terminal block of the PB-9250J-SA.
- Connect the vehicle IGN signal to the IGN IN input (same connector as power input).
- Connect DC OUT of the PB-9250J-SA to the power input of the back-end system.
- Connect the PWRBTN# signal pair to the remote power button connector of the back-end system.
- Use the Power Backup Parameter Configurer to set the Operation Mode to Ignition Control Mode and configure on-delay/off-delay times under IGN Setting.
- Click Update Parameters so the module reboots and applies the new settings.
- Connect the DC power input into the first PB-9250J-SA.
- Connect the DC power output of the first unit to the DC power input of the next unit, repeating for each additional unit in the chain.
- Connect the DC output of the last unit in the chain (nearest the back-end system) to the power input of the back-end system, along with the PWRBTN# and other required signals.
- Configure the last unit in the chain to operate in Normal Backup Mode.
- Use a power supply rated 24VDC or higher: 8A or higher with 5A charging mode supports up to 8 daisy-chained units for loads under 80W, while 13A or higher with 10A charging mode supports up to 4 units for loads between 80-180W.
- Select Daisy Chain Mode in the Power Backup Parameter Configurer's Operation Mode settings and click Update Parameters.
- Connect the PB-9250J-SA's RS-232 COM port to the host computer using the supplied DB9-to-DB9 cable, and confirm the host COM port is configured for RS-232 mode.
- Press the Windows key and type "cmd", then press Ctrl+Shift+Enter to open a command prompt with administrative rights.
- Change directory to the folder containing the configurer executable (for example, PB_Configurer.J25.19.exe).
- Type the executable file name followed by the COM port number (for example, "PB_Configurer.J25.19.exe com3") and press Enter.
- If parameters do not update automatically, click "Get Parameters" in the configurer to refresh the status.
- Locate the recessed reset button on the side panel.
- Use a pin to press and hold the button for 5 seconds until one long beep is heard.
- Alternatively, open the Power Backup Parameter Configurer and click "Load Default" to restore original settings, or click "Reset" to erase previous Re-train shutdown timing settings.
