The M1-ATX is an intelligent vehicle ATX power supply. It is designed to provide power and to control the ON/OFF switch of a mainboard based on ignition status. The M1-ATX is a wide input (6-24 V) power supply capable of surviving tough engine cranks (down to 5.7 V) as well as transient over-voltage situations.

The M1-ATX has 8 user selectable microcontroller driven timing modes, allowing you to choose up to 8 ignition/shutdown timing schemes. By removing all user-selectable jumpers, the M1-ATX becomes a traditional PSU with no ignition control and it can be used in non-vehicle applications.

Even if your computer is off, it will still consume a few hundred milliwatts to monitor PC ON/OFF status. When the computer 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 a few watts. No matter how big your battery is, it will eventually drain your battery in a matter of days.

While in deep sleep mode, the M1-ATX constantly monitors your car battery voltage levels, preventing deep discharge situations by automatically shutting down until the battery reaches safe levels again. Just connect it to your 12-volt or 24-volt car/boat/RV battery and power up your PC.

Dimensions (w x h x d): 160 x 18 x 45 mm (6.31" x 1.77" x 0.71")

M1-ATX comes equipped with:

• ATX, HDD and Floppy cable harness
  Cable harness includes connectors for: 2 Molex, 1 Berg, 2 ATX
• Jumpers
• Faston connectors
• 2-pin cables for the mainboard ON/OFF switch.

Compatibility with other Mini-ITX components: As of 11/01/05, the M1-ATX is compatible with all Morex and most Casetronic enclosures. This power supply is not compatible with our line of Serener fanless cases.

Note: Do not try this PSU with Pentium 4 mainboards. It works with some low power Pentiums and AMDs. Please check your mainboard's specs and make sure that the CPU is not getting V(core) from the 12-volt rail. It must be getting V(core) from the 5-volt rail. Stay away from mainboards that have 4-pin 12-volt ATX connectors. That is a good indication that the mainboard is using 12 volts for V(core).
