7
able power cells within the PL-P
and provides the appropriate
charging rate to the unit at all
times. It operates with input
voltages from 94 to 264 VAC, 50
or 60 Hz.
The design of the PLP-CCC3 AC
power supply originates from the
same unit that works with the
professional Nagra Digital Tape
Recorder and is configured
specifically to serve the unique
requirements of the Nagra PL-P.
The PLP-CCC3 AC power
supply unit is only to be used
with the PL-P when suitable
rechargeable power cells such
as the factory-supplied battery
batons are properly installed in
the PL-P. Using the PLP-CCC3
AC power supply unit with no
recharge-able power cells,
unsuitable recharge-able power
cells or non-rechargeable power
cells such as alkaline or carbon
power cells, is extremely
dangerous and may result in an
explosion. The unit is not
covered under warranty under
these circumstances.
Battery Installation
A battery compartment at the rear
of the PL-P is designed to hold 8
“D”-size power cells. The PL-P is
delivered from the factory with 2
batons of rechargeable Nickel-
Cadmium cells. In an emergency,
other forms of rechargeable “D”-
size power cells or alkaline power
cells can also be used.
Access to the PL-P battery
compartment is by removing the 4
hex screws securing the top plate,
using the supplied ISO/Allen 2.5
mm key. Lift the top plate off the
PL-P case carefully.
Before installing any batteries,
ensure that the PL-P is powered
off and not connected to the
PLP-CCC3 AC power supply
unit.
To install the battery batons
supplied from the factory, place the
first baton in the bottom half of the
battery compartment, with the
positive end of the baton facing the
right side of the PL-P, when viewed
from the front. Place the second
baton in the top half of the battery
compartment, with the positive end
of the baton facing the left side of
the PL-P, when viewed from the
front.
If batteries are incorrectly
installed, the PL-P will not power
up. The unit will not be
damaged, it simply will not
power up.
