The APO3 is a black box designed to prevent a vehicle battery from being discharged and damaged by a DC load. Typically it is used to switch a radio transceiver off 10 minutes after the vehicle is shut off. The APO3 is designed for 12 volt vehicle electrical systems with negative ground. It can switch up to 20 amps and carry up to 30 amps. The shutdown voltage can be set to one of four pre-programmed voltages (11.8, 12.1, 12.7, 13.05 volts) using two DIP switches; the shutdown delay can be set to one of four pre-programmed times (0, 5, 10, 20 minutes). The device is housed in a sturdy ABS plastic case.

Works, but I can't get the time delay to work
I would like the power off to have a 10 min delay, which this switch is supposed to support, but I have found that the power shuts off immediately regardless of how I configure the DIP switches.

Nope
Great idea, if only it lasted longer than a month! When in a 5 min set mode, it will shut off correctly, but then turns right back on, then 5 min later off, then back on, ect...Defeats the purpose of even having it. In numerous settings it does the same thing.Save your money. If you have a radio with APO, use it instead. Just my $.02

works perfectly. great device for making sure your 12v devices don't draw your starting battery too low. i use it for a fridge in my car and always know that no matter how long the car is off, the battery will have enough power to start the car when i'm ready to go home.

You won't forget to turn off your equipment ever again!
This little guy prevents me from killing my batteries in the car. I shuts everything off shortly after I turn off the ignition. And it waits to fire everything back up shortly after the car is fully started. If you are a ham or a CB'er this is a must have.

It works perfectly
It is doing an excellent job

I wish it had different "cut-in" vs "cut-out" voltage settings ...
I wish it had different "cut-in" vs "cut-out" voltage settings. It only lets you set a timer which is much less effective.

Works Great
Bought this device to automatically shut off my scanner and other HAM Radios in my truck after I shut the engine off.I've had it for over 3 years now and it works great.Originally I was looking for a time out timer to do the job but this device does the job.If I want to turn on the scanner while the engine is off I just use the bypass switch.It automatically turns on my scanner when I start my engine and has never messed up the memory channels.It has a short delay when turning the power on which protects the scanner from being damaged.
