Operating elements
- Voltage control 1 – 4 for the respective output 1 – 4
- Outputs 1 – 2, adjustable between 4 V and 9 V @ 500 mA
- Outputs 3 – 4, adjustable between 6 V and 18 V @ 500 mA
- Output 5, 12 V @ max. 1000 mA
- Control LED for outputs 1 – 5, lights up green when voltage is applied, turns off when the output is deactivated due to overload
- Power cord connection for power supply
- Mains cable connection to supply voltage to one or more additional devices (max. 4 A)
Using the product
- To put the device into operation, use the supplied power cord to connect the INPUT connector on the side of the device to a properly wired power socket, that provides 100 – 240 V supply voltage .
- Use suitable voltage supply cables to connect effect pedals or similar devices which require 4 to 9 V supply voltage at a maximum of 500 mA to outputs 1 – 2. Before doing so, set the associated rotary control to the position of the required voltage. The maximum output power of 21.6 W must not be exceeded.
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 ( ). To power a device with polarity- reversed voltage may damage it!
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!
3. Use suitable voltage supply cables to connect effect pedals or similar
devices which require 6 – 18 V supply voltage at a maximum of 500 mA to
outputs 3 – 4. Before doing so, set the associated rotary control to the
position of the required voltage. The maximum output power of 21.6 W must not
be exceeded.
4. Each operational output is indicated by a green LED. If an output is
switched off due to overload, the LED lights turns off. Then disconnect the
pedal in question from the device. After approx. 2 seconds, the normal voltage
supply is restored here.
5. To supply another device with mains voltage use the supplied Kettle cable
to connect its mains power connection to the OUTPUT connector on the side of
the device.
6. To switch off the device, disconnect the power cord from the mains.
For the transport and protective packaging, environmentally friendly materials have been chosen that can be supplied to normal recycling. Ensure that plastic bags, packaging, etc. are properly disposed of. Do not just dispose of these materials with your normal household waste, but make sure that they are collected for recycling. Please follow the notes and markings on the packaging.
This product is subject to the European Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE) in its currently valid version. Do not dispose of your old device with your normal household waste.
