AC power
Warning! For protection from electric shock, the P3 PowerPort 1500 must be electrically connected
to ground (earth). The AC mains supply must be fitted with a fuse or overload circuit breaker and
ground-fault (earth-fault) protection.
Warning! The power input cable must meet the specifications listed under ”Protection from electric
shock” on page 4.
Warning! The current draw at each of the P3 PowerPort 1500’s four DC power/video data outputs
must not exceed 7.5 A per output. Before connecting devices to the outputs, check carefully the
information about system layouts and maximum safe limits in all the user manuals of the devices in
the system.
AC mains power input
The P3 PowerPort 1500 must be connected directly to AC mains power. It features an auto-sensing
switch-mode power supply that automatically adapts to power at 100-240 V (nominal), 50/60 Hz.
The P3 PowerPort 1500 is connected to power via the Neutrik PowerCon input socket on the rear panel (see
Figure 2 on page 7).
A suitable power cable with a PowerCon cable connector can be ordered from Martin™. Alternatively, you
can order the PowerCon cable connector as a separate item from Martin™ and install it on your own power
cable as described below. If you use your own power cable, it must meet the cable specifications listed
under ”Protection from electric shock” on page 4. See ”Accessories” on page 18 for Martin™ cable and
connector ordering details.
Installing an input connector on a power cable
To install a Neutrik PowerCon NAC3FCA input connector on a power cable, see Figure 5:
1. Slide the bushing over the cable.
2. Slide the chuck that is suitable for cable diameter 10 - 15 mm (0.4 - 0.6 in.) over the cable (this is
normally the black chuck).
3. Prepare the end of the cable by stripping 20 mm (0.8 in.) of the cable’s outer jacket.
