November 17, 2003 — AMREL SYSTEMS LLC, a division
of AMREL, announced today the availability of their new
Power Stop power management tool – a compact, user-installed
accessory that monitors both the vehicle battery as well as the computer
battery.
Although developed for the needs of police departments
across the United States, AMREL’s Power Stop can be used with
any computer that is mounted in a vehicle and has a USB connector.
Installation is simple (four wires and a controller unit that mounts
in a glove compartment or out-of-the-way within the vehicle cab), and
there is virtually no maintenance. Unlike the other power management
products designed mainly as power cut-offs from the vehicle battery,
the Power Stop is the only product that allows the user to condition
the battery. Just by programming Power Stop to drain the battery every
few days, the battery can be conditioned and its life extended.
IT managers and users are increasingly concerned with avoiding potential problems
and downtime, especially in demanding applications and where computers are
shared on a shift-by-shift basis. Power Stop is designed as a simple and efficient
solution to eliminate or minimize these risks. As soon as it senses the vehicle
battery going under 10.5 volts for 30 seconds, it shuts the computer down gracefully,
program by program. This means that the user will not be faced with a dead
car battery at an inconvenient time and the risk of lost data from an improper
computer shutdown. Power Stop has passed extensive testing at the factory and
in the field under demanding conditions encountered within public safety applications.
It
is now immediately available for purchase and shipping FOB.
