Product Information

The Spaceship PowerBar 40-B is a multiple power supply designed for use with effects pedals. It provides various output voltages and current ratings to power different types of devices. The product features insulated and uninsulated outputs, voltage switches, and control LEDs to indicate the presence of voltage.

Safety Instructions

Ensure proper disposal of plastic bags and packaging to prevent choking hazards for children.
Keep small parts away from children to avoid swallowing and choking risks.
Never allow children to use electrical devices unsupervised.
Be cautious about possible staining caused by the plasticiser in the rubber feet of the product. Use suitable underlays if needed.
Avoid using liquid cleaners such as benzene, thinners, or flammable cleaning agents on the product.

Features

Multiple outputs with different voltage and current specifications
Insulated and uninsulated outputs
Voltage switches for flexible power options
Control LEDs to indicate voltage presence

Scope of Delivery
The product package includes the following:

Harley Benton Spaceship 40 Boards
Power adapter for power supply and charging

Product Usage Instructions

Connect the supplied power adapter to the product.
Press the mains switch to turn on the device.
For devices requiring 24 V supply voltage at a maximum of 2000 mA, use a suitable voltage supply cable to connect them to output 1.
For devices with high power consumption (e.g., multi-effect devices) requiring 9 V supply voltage at a maximum of 3000 mA, use a suitable voltage supply cable to connect them to output 2.
For devices requiring 9 V supply voltage at a maximum of 250 mA, use suitable voltage supply cables to connect them to outputs 3 – 4.
For devices requiring 9 V supply voltage at a maximum of 500 mA, use suitable voltage supply cables to connect them to outputs 5 – 7.

Important
Ensure that the polarity of the devices being connected matches the polarity of the power supply outputs to avoid damaging the devices. Check the polarity symbols ( ) before connecting.

Safety instructions

Intended use
This product is meant to be used as a multiple power supply for effects pedals. Any other use or use under other operating conditions is considered to be improper and may result in personal injury or property damage. No liability will be assumed for damages resulting from improper use.
Danger for children
Ensure that plastic bags, packaging, etc. are disposed of properly and are not within reach of babies and young children. Choking hazard! Ensure that children do not detach any small parts from the product. They could swallow the pieces and choke! Never let children unattended use electrical devices.

Possible staining
The plasticiser contained in the rubber feet of this product may possibly react with the coating of your surface and after some time cause perma-nent dark stains. In case of doubt, do not put the rubber feet directly on the surface and use a suitable underlay if necessary, i.e. felt-pad floor pro- tectors or similar.

Where to use the product Never use the product

in conditions of extreme temperature or humidity
in extremely dusty or dirty areas
at locations where the unit can become wet

General handling

To prevent damage, never use force when handling the product.
Never immerse the product in water. Just wipe it with a clean dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners such as benzene, thinners or flammable cleaning agents. Incorrect handling of lithium batteries can result in injury
In the event of a short circuit, overheating or mechanical damage, lithium batteries can cause severe injuries.
When handled correctly and appropriately lithium batteries pose no risk.
Store lithium batteries in a cool, dry place, ideally in the original packaging.
Store lithium batteries away from heat sources (e.g. radiators or sunlight). Lithium batteries are hermetically sealed. Never attempt to open a lithium battery.
f the battery housing is damaged small amounts of the electrolyte may leak out. If this should happen, seal the lithium battery in airtight packaging and wipe up the traces of electrolyte using absorbent paper towels. You must wear protective rub-ber gloves when doing so. Clean your hands and the affected surface thoroughly with cold water.
Never attempt to recharge non-rechargeable lithium batteries. When charging lith-ium batteries you must use a suitable charging device intended for the purpose.
Before disposing of the device remove the lithium batteries. Protect used lithium batteries against potential short circuits, e.g. by covering the poles with adhesive tape.
Only use powder extinguishers or other suitable extinguishing agents to extinguish a burning lithium battery.

Using the product

Use the supplied power adapter to connect the device to the power and press the mains switch to switch on the device.
Use a suitable voltage supply cable to connect effects pedals or similar devices which require 24 V supply voltage at a maximum of 2000 mA to the output 1.
Use a suitable voltage supply cable to connect devices with high power consumption (i. e. multi-effect devices) which require 9 V supply voltage at a maximum of 3000 mA to the output 2.
Use suitable voltage supply cables to connect effects pedals or similar devices which require 9 V supply voltage at a maximum of 250 mA to the
outputs 3 – 4.
Use suitable voltage supply cables to connect effects pedals or similar devices which require 9 V supply voltage at a maximum of 500 mA to the
outputs 5 – 7.
Danger of property damage by polarity reversal
Make sure that the polarity of the devices to be connected must be
the same as the polarity of the power supply outputs ( power a device with polarity-reversed voltage may damage it!
Use suitable voltage supply cables to connect effects pedals or similar devices which require 9 V ,12 V or 18 V supply voltage at a maximum of 500 mA, 375 mA or 250 mA to the outputs 8 – 9. Set the associated switch above the output to the position of the required voltage. The maximum output power of 31.5 W must not be exceeded.
Danger of property damage by overvoltage
Make sure that connected devices are actually suitable for the set voltage. To power a device with overvoltage may damage it!
Use suitable voltage supply cables to connect devices as smartphones or tablets to the USB outputs.
Each operational output 1 – 9 is indicated by a green LED. If an output is switched off due to overload, the LED turns off. Then disconnect the respective pedal from the device. After approx. 2 seconds, the normal voltage supply is restored here.
Press the mains switch to switch off the device.
