Long Range Car PC or Car Stereo Remote
This is not a cheap 10-30 foot range (open space, no interference) 12V remote
relay like you see on
other sites. It does have an extra output for
whatever you want, but it's main purpose is a safe, reliable and
automatic control over the PC with a range
well over a football field, while being resistant to interference from
in-car electronics that other remotes have and uses less power than a
common LED.
Designed for any common intelligent power supply with remote on (IGN) such as those from Mini-Box, Opus Solutions and Carnetix, or any car stereo with ACC/IGN wire (just about all of them). Start your Car PC long before you enter the car or turn it on and off from the comfort of your home to synchronize files or use remote desktop.
| Quick and
easy to install. Splice the power (red & black) into your existing
PSU or other constant battery source, cut the remote/ACC input
wire and attach the green to the PSU and blue to the ACC or IGN
wire you currently have connected. Simply press a button to start your PC without a key, and a timer will turn the PC off if the key is not turned on within the time limit, or the PC is not turned off by remote. Note: Some PSUs will cut power if the battery gets too low while others will drain the battery completely. Keeping the timer at a reasonable time will ensure it shuts down properly. |

How the 4 button remote works:
- A Key off: Turns the PC on, starts timer.
Key on: Starts timer as soon as key is turned off, for gas fillups, quick trips into the store, etc.
LED blips every 2 seconds to show timer is active when key is off.
Press A before timer ends to reset timer for extending duration. - B Key off: Turns the PC off.
- D Tap: (Valet) Disables IGN(Key) input. Next A
press enables it again.
Valet mode is unaffected by vehicle battery removal.
Hold for 5 seconds (1st off-blink interval): Tap D for number of minutes x 10. 0 presses = disable timer.
Hold for 10 seconds (2nd interval): Tap D for number of minutes multiplied.
Program mode ends (LED turns off) if idle for 5 seconds.
LED confirms (see B+D).
Note: Do not program while timer is active. Due to the multitasking OS, the timer and program mode will both blink the LED. - B+D Display timer values. Slow blink of multiplier, 1 sec pause, fast blink of minutes (default is 3 x 10 or 30 minutes).
- C (yellow wire) is for optional negative momentary output suitable for a window rollup module, other alarm add-ons, horn, etc. The output is held for as long as you press the button. 200mA max. Use a relay (with clamping diode) for positive output or more current. The 5V positive level can also be accessed.
