Power Supply
9.2. The MK power supply
17
takes three battery cells
18
model A-316 "Quantum" or
"Prima", and it can use an external power adapter model D2-10M
19
(or similar) to be
connected to an 220VAC (50 ±1Hz) power outlet.
9.3. Power consumption from the three battery cells A316 is less than 0.6 Watt
20
.
Environment considerations
9.4. Operating temperature from 10 to 35°C at a relative humidity of 50 to 80% and an
atmospheric pressure from 86 to 106 kPa.
9.5. The MK weight (without batteries and power adapter) is less than 250 g.
9.6. The MK physical dimensions are not exceeding 170 x 80 x 38 mm.
9.7. Content of precious metals in the MK: Gold - 0.06455 g, Silver - 0.04274 g

The MK-61internal power supply includes a DC-DC converter circuit, taking the 4.5V battery supply to
generate a number of negative output supply voltages for the electronics, consuming between 100mA
and 130mA depending on how many digits are on. The 4.5V battery Positive terminal is used as common
GND (ground).
MK-61 DC-DC converter pin out
Common connection pin:
+BATT/GND (
pin9
): Connected to Gnd/+5V to IC's.
Input 4.5V battery supply voltage:
-V1 -BATT (
pin3
): Connected to the Negative terminal of the 4.5V battery.
Output negative supply voltages:
-V2 -15V (
pin4
