Frequently Asked Questions
The PB-4600J-SA is built from 4x 370F, 3.0V supercapacitors and stores 4600 watt-seconds of energy. Neousys rates the expected lifespan at more than 10 years and 500,000 charging/discharging cycles.
The unit accepts 12 to 35V DC input through a 1x 3-pin pluggable terminal block (V+, GND, IGN_IN). The same style of 3-pin terminal block is used for the output (V+, GND, IGN_OUT).
The PB-4600J-SA can supply a maximum of 100W of output power to the connected system. Backup time for uninterruptible operation may be reduced when powering a system with high power consumption.
The module includes:
- 1x DB9 port for 3-wire RS-232, used to connect to a host computer's COM port (must be set to RS-232 mode) so the module can communicate status and configuration data
- 1x 10-pin pluggable terminal block providing isolated DIO: a PWR_BTN# output signal pair (to turn the back-end system on/off) and an optional SYS_STAT input signal pair (to detect back-end system status)
- 3-pin terminal blocks for DC input and DC output, described above
Operating temperature is -25°C to 65°C, extending to -40°C to 85°C with reduced energy capacity. Storage temperature is -40°C to 85°C. The unit is compliant with IEC61373:2010 Category 1 Class B (body mounted, part of EN50155) for vibration and shock, and EN50155:2007 / CE / FCC Class A per EN 55032 & EN 55035 for EMC.
The PB-4600J-SA measures 82.5mm(W) x 175.2mm(H) x 128.2mm(D) and weighs 1.68 kg. It supports DIN-rail mounting as standard, with an optional wall-mount bracket available.
The PB-4600J-SA supports Normal Backup Mode, Ignition Control Mode, and Ignition Relay Mode. Daisy-chain mode is not supported on this model (it is available on PB-9250J-SA only).
No. Daisy-chain connection to extend energy capacity is only applicable to the PB-9250J-SA model, not the PB-4600J-SA.
Charging time depends on the selected charging current (5A or 10A) and input voltage. At 10A charging: approximately 45 seconds from 0% at 24V input, or 90 seconds at 12V input. At 5A charging: approximately 25 seconds at 24V input, or 35 seconds at 12V input. The power adapter must supply at least 6A for 5A charging or 13A or more for 10A charging.
How-to Guides
- Connect the DC output from your power supply to the DC IN 3-pin terminal block on the PB-4600J-SA.
- Connect the DC OUT of the PB-4600J-SA to the power input of the back-end system.
- Connect the PWR_BTN# signal pair (10-pin terminal block) to the remote power button connector on the back-end system.
- Apply power. The module will begin charging automatically; once fully charged it will 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 (24V if input was 17V or higher, 12V if input was lower than 17V) to sustain the system before initiating shutdown.
- Connect the DC output from the power supply to the DC IN terminal block of the PB-4600J-SA.
- Connect the IGN input signal to the IGN IN terminal on the same connector as the power input.
- Connect the DC OUT of the PB-4600J-SA to the power input of the back-end system.
- Connect the PWR_BTN# signal pair to the remote power button connector on the back-end system.
- Set the desired on-delay and off-delay times in the Power Backup Parameter Configurer utility (IGN Setting section) so the module knows how long to wait before turning the system on after charging, and off after IGN signal is removed.
- Locate the charging current selector switch on the main panel of the PB-4600J-SA.
- Select 5A or 10A charging current depending on how quickly you need the unit to charge and the current capacity of your power adapter.
- Ensure your power adapter can supply at least 6A for 5A charging mode, or at least 13A for 10A charging mode.
- Refer to the charging time table: at 10A/24V input, full charge takes about 45 seconds; at 5A/12V input, about 35 seconds (times vary by voltage and current setting).
- Use the included DIN-rail clip set to mount the module on a DIN rail, which is the standard mounting method.
- Alternatively, use the optional wall-mount bracket accessory if DIN-rail mounting is not suitable for your installation.
- Install the module or its DIN rail at a sturdy location and secure it using its retaining screws.
- Open
Control Panel > System and Security > Power Optionson the host Windows system. - Locate the setting for what happens when the power button is pressed.
- Change the "When I press the power button" option from the Windows default (Sleep/S3) to Shut down.
- Save the setting. This ensures the PB standalone module's power button signal correctly triggers a full shutdown rather than a sleep state that the module cannot recognize.
The PB series is a standalone power backup module that can protect your box-PC against power outages. Utilizing state-of-the-art supercapacitor technology, it can operate in harsh environments from -25°C to 65°C and have extremely high durability lasting over 10 years.
PB-9250J-SA and PB-4600J-SA are composed of eight and four 370F/ 3.0V supercapacitors, respectively, while PB-2580J-SA is composed of eight 100F/2.7V supercapacitors. They each offer 9250, 4600 and 2580 watt-second energy to offer extra extended operation time to backup your system. Thanks to Neousys' patented CAP energy management technology, It can reliably supply up to 180W of power to the back-end system and automatically manage boot and shutdown without installing additional drivers/ software. In addition to the UPS-like power backup mode, it also offers two advanced ignition control modes for in-vehicle usage.
PB-9250J-SA can work with either standard box-PC or in-vehicle controller to provide a stable power supply and execute user-configurable power-on/power-off delay according to IGN signal input. Featuring various modes, automatic shutdown control and up to 180W output power, Neousys PB series can work with most off-the-shelf box-PCs. And with properties such as maintenance-free energy storage and uninterruptible power supply, the PB series can prevent the connected back-end system from data loss during a power outage in harsh industrial environments!
