This symbol, whenever it appears alerts you to the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage inside the enclosure voltage that may be sufficient to constitute a risk of shock.
|
This symbol, whenever it appears, alerts you to important operating and
maintenance instructions in the
accompanying literature. Please read the manual.
Read Instructions: Retain safety and operating instructions for future
reference. Heed all warnings printed here and on the equipment. Follow the
operating instructions printed in this user manual.

service work to qualified technical personnel only.
Environment: Protect from excessive dirt, dust, heat, and vibration when
operating and storing. Avoid tobacco ash, drink spillage, and smoke,
especially those associated with smoke machines.
Handling: Protect the controls from damage during transit. Use adequate
padding if you need to ship the unit. To avoid injury to yourself or damage to
the equipment, take care when lifting, moving, or carrying the unit.
Servicing: Refer servicing to qualified technical personnel.
Installation: Install the unit in accordance with the instructions
printed in the user manual.
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing Applied Research and Technology’s ISO-8U. Two high-
power outputs can provide 250mA. All other outputs are capable of providing up
to 100mA. There is one variable voltage output to simulate worn batteries.
Each output is individually current limited and short circuit protected. An
Output status indicator goes out when there is a fault (i.e., short, current
protection, or temp overload).
A USB type A jack can provide high power charging up to 10Watts. The charging
port will remain active as long as the unit is powered by the external supply.
The unit comes with a wide variety of cables to connect your pedals including
battery clip adapters, large and small diameter power plugs, and “Y” for
expanding the number of devices you can connect and even a polarity reversing
cable.
FEATURES
- Eight Isolated DC Outputs
- One Adjustable Output
- Each Output Has a switchable voltage
- USB Power jack for high-speed charging
- Comes with multiple adaptor cords
- Runs off a Universal power supply
- Tie wrap slots for clean wire routing
- Perfect for powering guitar pedals, and pedalboards
- Designed and developed in the USA
INSTALLATION and OPERATION
Status LED’s
These LEDs remain lit as long as there are no electrical faults with the
cabling or the pedal you are supplying power to. If a particular fault is seen
at one of the outputs, the LED dims or turns off and the voltage at that
output will diminish. The cable connection on the output with the fault will
have to be removed and reconnected for the output to be reset.
SAG Voltage
To enable this function on voltage output1 the dip switch will need to be set
to 4-9v. Then the user can vary the voltage from the pot on the unit face.
APPLICATIONS
The ART ISO-8U is designed so that it can be mounted on a pedal base using
Velcro. The front and sides are recessed to protect the cables and controls.
The bottom edge of the ISO-8U has slots that allow you to use cable ties to
control the routing of the power cables. Once you loosely insert the wire ties
through the slots you can run the power cables through the remaining loops.
Once all of the cables are in place, you can tighten down the wire ties.

Powering your Pedals
The first step in using the ART ISO-8U to power your device would be to make
sure that pedal device you want to use can be powered by a dc supply. The
range on the ART ISO-8U is 9 or 12vdc or combining to outputs to achieve 18 or
24vdc, remember that there is a max current draw on each output.
Then verify the polarity of the pedal device, you are wanting to power.
Generally, 9V battery-powered devices will draw less than 100mA.
The ART ISO-8U uses the negative center pin configuration.
|
This will determine if you need to use the polarity reversal cable or one of the standard cables. This will allow you to use a pedal that has a positive center pin. Before you connect the cable from the unit, make sure you set the dipswitch to the appropriate voltage (9v or 12v).
---|---
If you have a pedal device that does not have a power jack and is powered by a
9V battery, then you can use the cable that has the battery tab connector.
There is a limitation on current loading, as this unit is not meant to run all
of the outputs at their maximum current draw.
