Python Plus Rear panel operation
The Python Plus illustration is repeated for ease of use of this guide. Note that all Python
Plus units operate in the same manner: the only difference is in whether the Fiber Optic ST
connectors are inputs or outputs.

Area A - Rear Panel Power Connectors
The Python Plus provides for the use of redundant 12-18 Volts DC power supplies. A battery
backup option is not provided for the Python Plus unit.
Power can be supplied to the unit by either a 4-pin XLR connector from an external power
supply (such as a ADAP-AC-04) or with direct wiring from a 12-18 Volt DC power supply
connected to the provided terminal block.
The main power supply can be of one type (XLR or direct wire) while the Aux power supply
is of the other type.

MAIN/AUX Indicator LEDs
:
• The LED for each power supply will be Green if power is being applied to the
Python Plus.
• If both Main and Aux are connected to a power source, both LEDs will be Green.
• A lit LED is not an indication of which power source is being used at the time; only
that the power source is good.
