DC Power cable
FH Flyer requires a +30 VDC, 4-ampere power supply for operation. If the laser uses a +30 VDC power
supply and has 120 watts of excess capacity, you can use the same supply to power Flyer. To connect the
DC Power cable between Flyer and your 30 V source, refer to Figure 1-8 and perform the following steps:
Figure 1-8 Connecting the DC Power cable
1 Locate the DC Power cable in the ship kit. It is manufactured with #18 AWG wire and measures 6
feet (1.8 m) long with a three-pin connector on one end and tinned conductors on the other.
2 Verify that the +30 VDC power supply is disconnected from its AC power source.
3 Connect the 3-pin connector on the end of the DC Power cable to the Power jack on the Flyer head.
Caution
possible
equipment
damage
Do not attach or remove the DC Power cable while DC power to the
FH Flyer head is energized. This “hot-plug” action causes arcing that
will damage the connector pins and may damage Flyer circuitry.
Always switch AC power to the +30 VDC supply to energize or de-
energize FH Flyer.
