Console Power Requirements-If
more
than one console is to be used, lamp power
(±18V, 2A) must be provided by a 215C1 power
unit installed in the KSU or an equivalent external
unit. The 215C1 has three ±18V outputs. When
it is installed in an earlier model KSU which has
a 19C2 for the principal power unit, the ±18V
output of the 19C2 is disabled. On later model
KSUs, the principal power unit is a 19C3, which
has no ±18V output and all lamp power is supplied
by a factory-installed 215Cl.
