Power connections

The receiver can be powered from an AC or DC supply. Both supplies may be connected at the same time although this configuration is not recommended since a seamless handover between supplies cannot be guaranteed.
Warning: Both AC and DC power supply cables must be disconnected before servicing.

If the power is ‘dirty’, it is recommended that you find a ‘clean’ power source. Use a surge protector or power strip to mitigate damage to the equipment in the event of a power surge.

Since systems are typically installed in shared circuits, be aware of how many units are plugged into the source and the total current draw.
Warning: Connect the product only to a power source with the specified voltage rating.

AC SUPPLY

When powering from an AC supply, you must connect the receiver to the mains supply using the IEC mains cable provided.

The receiver does not include an AC power switch and therefore the mains plug is to be used as the disconnect device. Position the receiver to allow easy access to the plug socket.

DC SUPPLY

When powering from a DC supply, connect the receiver to the supply using a DC power cable (not supplied).

The DC power supply must have the following characteristics:

Table 1. DC Power supply characteristics
Characteristic Specification
Output voltage 10 to 36 V DC
Output power >100 W continuous
Connector 4-pin XLR female connector (for example, Neutrik NC4FX)
Cable Twin core with minimum 2.5 mm2 copper conductors

The receiver does not include a DC power switch and therefore the DC power cable (XLR-4 female plug) is to be used as the disconnect device. Position the receiver to allow easy access to the plug socket.
