The most powerful and intelligent regulator ever built! USB connectivity to the PSUmoni(TM) power supply monitor applcation takes the guesswork out of installation, setup, and operation. Real-time gauges show exactly what's going on under the hood! "Soft jumpers" let you tweak any parameter to your heart's content. Firmware updates via the USB port allow you to keep your product updated with the latest firmware with no special programming hardware required. There is not other product like it on the market!

Finally, a product that takes the guesswork out of design, setup, and operation lets you SEE what's going on with all of the critical voltages, currents, and power measurements in your system! You can view real-time readings of important parameters and tweak your system for optimal performance in YOUR car with the included PSUmoni(tm) Power Supply Monitor windows application. The PSUmoni shows you what it would take 3 different external instruments to see. No need to buy/connect a digital voltmeter or ammeter to see what your CarPC/Mac is drawing from your car battery. The PSUmoni gives you this information IN REAL TIME! The P2140 is by far the most intelligent power regulator on the market.

FLEXIBILITY is the key word for the P2140. Using the PSUmoni interface you have full control over many of the critical operating parameters that used to drive you nuts!

The CNX-P2140 is a 185+ watt intelligent DC-DC power regulator designed to provide safe, reliable power to today's newest CarPCs......

The P2140 proivdes two outputs. The primary output is jumper selectable for 12V, 18.5V, or 20V operation and can provide up to 11 amps (130 Watts) @ 12V, or 7.5 amps (150 watts) @ 20V. The secondary output is jumper selectable to provide either +12V to power your LCD screen  or +5V to power USB devices (such as the Audigy 2NX sound USB sound card) with up to 3 amps (15 Watts). The P2140 can accept battery input as low as 7.5 volts under full load during cranking while providing a well-regulated output so that your CarComputer does not crash, or as high as 34V in a +24V system).

The P2140 includes all of the sophisticated features of its predecessors (P1260, P1280, 1290, and P1900) such as Startup/Shutdown controller, Pulse Start (remotely start the P2140 with door locks, car alarm, or wireless device), and DelayON (prevents speaker "thump" during booting). The P2140 fully and safely supports "Standby" mode and will automatically shut itself down (by detecting excess current drain) if the CarComputer fails to properly go into Standby mode. If the Deadman Timer is enabled the P2140 will automatically shut itself down after a user selectable time (normally 72 hours) if the unit remains in Standby/Sleep too long. Mac mini users will appreciate the Deadman Timer since most Macs require Sleep mode instead of hibernate.

The P2140 is also designed to power larger systems that demand higher power, such as P4-based motherboards with full sized hard drives.
