• po5V rail at Doepfer A-100 bus 16-pin IDC-connector via flying ribbon cables or connecting third-party bus-boards.
Taking into account the PSU has general efficiency at roundabout 90% (differs on different rails and the DC voltage applied).
6. THE SILTA FLYING BUS
The SILTA flying bus comes always tested to ensure you that everything works as expected and no shorts happens.
The standard SILTA flying bus, provided within the SILTA 6HP eurorack module is designed to power up a single Frap Tools PLUS
42HP case. In case of need, you can extend you SILTA flying bus with other SILTA flying busses, simply purchase another SILTA
Flying Bus and connect the female of the new cable to the last male connector on the existing SILTA Flying Bus.
Please note: As you keep adding more modules to your system make sure to monitor the heat of the SILTA power module and the
power adapter in order to do not overheat them as they might get damage if overloaded.
7. USB port
Output power consumption to your USB device is limited to 0.5A to protect against short circuits.
WARNING: 500mA are enough in order to connect lamps or other equipment that require a powered USB port. It is possible but not
recommended to charge other devices like cell phones. However be aware: typical mobile chargers require 1200-2100mA for
optimal (fast) charge, so charging external devices from the SILTA 6HP eurorack module may increase the temperature of the
module. An iPad, nowadays, requires at least 1200mA (suggested 2100 mA) current to show an active charging process. Since the
output of the SILTA USB +5V current is less than the iPad requires it still WILL charge it, however it may require more time than it
takes with original iPad charger and will show “NOT CHARGING” on the screen. In general, charging operation requires a high
current even for a small cell phone, so it is recommended to use your original or external chargers and use the powered USB output
for devices or lamp.
8. MOUNTING THE SILTA POWERKIT FOR UNO
WARNING: The mounting of power boards must be done by competent staff. Frap Tools can not be held responsible in any way for
human injury or material damage resulting from incorrect installation, mounting, or cabling.
First, unmount the main PSU holder and the two bus holder.
