Power Supply
500ADAT is powered via an external 24v 5A DC
switch-mode power supply that supports any operating
voltage from 100 to 240v.
Switch mode power supplies can exhibit switching noise
but 500ADAT features linear regulation on the DC inlet
to ensure that power noise and intermodulation
distortion doesn't find itself on the audio rails.
Each 500 series slot features 250mA of power as well as
extra headroom if a module is drawing even more
current for a maximum of 2A across all 8 slots.
500ADAT’s Power delivery is also made via a latching
4-pin connector that is designed to provide a secure
connection to the chassis with protection against
accidental removal.
Connecting Power
Align the metal pins and plastic locator of the plug with the power inlet. Once located, push
the connector firmly into the socket whilst holding the plug’s outer housing and not the cable
itself.
Disconnecting Power
Grip the body of the plug firmly and pull the body of the connector back from the socket. The
plug’s outer casing will pull back and release the safety latch to allow the plug to be pulled out
of the socket.
Note:
Excessive strain or a sudden tug/shock to the power cable could cause damage to
the cable strain relief as well as the hardware contact points associated with the
power input and power supply.
