IMPORTANT   INFORMATION:      Care   and   Feeding:   

Please   be   aware   that   only   5V   power   supplies   are   allowed

.   We   have   protections   on   the   device   DC   

jack   but   it   won't   resist   indefinitely   against   higher   voltages!!!   

If   you   didn't   purchase   the   bottom   cover,   please   avoid   touching   the   electronics   on   the   bottom   layer   

of   the   PCB   with   your   hands   and   avoid   the   contact   of   the   bottom   side   with   metallic   or   conductive   

object   that   could   be   on   your   desk   (pens,   jacks,   nail   trimmers...)   as   it   can   cause   a   destructive   short   

circuit.   

Those   are   really   basic   indications   for   the   people   that   are   used   to   Arduinos   and   similar   products   

(that    tipically    'exposes'    the    circuits    and    components    to    the    user)    but    could    be    less    known    to    a   

musician   or   a   curious   guy   like   yourself.   

Do   not   connect   the   unit   directly   with   devices   (other   modular   products)   that   could   source   voltages   

greater   than   5V   signals   without   external   protection.   This   can   lead   to   malfunctions   and   eventually   

break   some   parts   on   the   NS1nanosynth.   

Please    consider    the    usage    of    the    NSbridge,    our    own    small    adaptation    board,    when    planning    to   

connect    to    eurorack    modules.    The    NSbridge    have    integral    protection    that    should    cover    all    the   

inadvertent    application    of    out    of    range    signals!    On    this    board    there    are    protection    for    voltages   

greater   than   5V   and   negative   voltages.   

The    patching    points    on    the    top    side    of    the    board    are    obviously    safe    to    use    and    there    are    no   

potential    damages    when    you    are    patching.        Take    some    time    with    this    manual    as    the    universal   

advices   like   "don't   connect   an   output   to   another   output"   still   does   apply!   

   

Power   Supply   Specification:   

 

5VDC   regulated      

 

200mA   supply   current   (1W)
