DSATX triggering

**jdiazj1** · 11-17-2006, 11:27 AM

Hello, just a quick question. I have been running my machine for a few months now and its been working pretty good but up until recently i have been having some slight problems with it. The dsatx works fine, it boots up the machine at start up and shuts down 30 secs after ignition off. The problem comes in when i turn the car off and switch it to ignition. Upon turning off the engine and switching to ignition, the computer goes into hibernation (like i have it on my settings) and then comes back up. It does this continuously. Every 30 secs the dsatx seems to be sending the trigger to my mobo to hibernate and as soon as it goes into hibernate, it triggers it again to turn back on. This just started happening. I cant work on my computer in the car with the car on and I have to keep on wasting gas. Does anybody here have experience that or better yet, have a fix for this? Thank you

Sounds like your low voltage cutout is to high.

DSATX draws power,

Battery falls below 11 volts.

DSATX turns off.

Battery floats back up.

DSATX turns on.

DSATX draws power.

etc..

Lower your low voltage cutout.

Make sure you have at least 12 gauge or THICKER wire to the battery.

ok, will do, thanks. but why would it start doing that after 6 months of being installed. I havent changed anything to it. I think I have the low voltage set to its lowest setting because the manual said that "to get it started right away, set it to the lowest setting." i believe its all the way to the left, is that correct?
