Powering your Pedals
The first step in using the ART ISO-8U to power your device,
would be to make sure that pedal device you want to use can
be powered by a dc supply. The range on the ART ISO-8U is 9
or 12vdc or combining to outputs to achieve 18 or 24vdc,
remember that there is a max current draw on each output.
Then verifying the polarity of the pedal device you are wanting
to power. Generally, 9V battery powered devices will draw less
that 100mA.
The ART ISO-8U uses the negative center pin configuration.
This will determine if you need to use the polarity
reversal cable or one of the standard cables. This
will allow you to use a pedal that has a positive
center pin. Before you connect the cable from the
unit, make sure you set the dipswitch to the appropriate voltage
(9v or 12v).
If you have a pedal device that does not have a power jack
and is powered by a 9V battery, then you can use the cable
that has the battery tab connector.
There is a limitation on current loading, as this unit is not
meant to run all of the outputs at their maximum current draw.
