3. Specifications
Technical specifications
Technical specifications are provided for each xDAP product. These are available on the DAPtools software CD (or the
equivalent downloaded file system image) provided with each xDAP unit, or from the Microstar Laboratories Web site at
Electrical Specifications
Electrical specifications are included within the technical specifications documents. Some general information related to
safety is repeated in this manual for completeness. For full information about electrical specifications, refer to the technical
specifications sheet.
The xDAP products are rated for operation at 100 to 120 VAC at up to 6A, or for operation at 220 to 240 VAC at up to 3A.
No settings or configuration adjustments are necessary to select one of the two power source levels. The products are rated
for operation on 50Hz or on 60Hz power systems.
Physical specifications
Equipment conforms to the physical dimensions and mounting specifications defined in standard IEEE-1011.10 and
compatible with IEC 60297 “19-inch rack” standards. Certain xDAP models are intended as a sub-rack assembly to be
mounted in an industrial rack. These models will provide mounting flanges and mounting holes as defined by the standards.
Other xDAP models are intended for desktop use only and do not have the flanges or mounting holes, but they may have
carrying handles.
Electrical connector specifications
The power connector is an IEC 60320 type C14 receptacle. The provided power cable is intended for use withing the USA,
where it is typical of appliances such as computer equipment at up to 120 V and 15Amp, AC. This connector is safe to use
with European voltages up to 240 V, but
it is the user's responsibility to provide a safe and appropriate power cable that
has the IEC 60320 mating connector on one end, and the appropriate connector or converter on the other end,
for
compatibility with electrical equipment used by the local power distribution system.
