The SILTA is designed to power systems ranging from 3U to 6U up to 126HP. However, since there are so much different modules
on the market with such different amount of current used, it is imperative to double check the power consumption of your modules
before to connect them to SILTA, being sure that the sum of the current used by the all modules does not exceed any limit of power
provided by SILTA. This is imperative in order to do not overload the SILTA power or system or its external adapter.
It is important to note that the front panel of the SILTA 6HP eurorack power module may get warm. Please do not be alarmed, as
this is normal and is part of its standard operation.
Do not install the SILTA directly to any flammable material if not checked and approved by Frap Tools: this will cause the SILTA to
overheat.
WARNING: The internal components of any SILTA power module can get very hot. Do not touch the internal components while it is
connected and/or powered.
Please be sure to check the temperature of your power brick about 20 minutes after power up. Make sure to do that each time you
add more modules to your system. If the power brick is very hot to the touch, it is likely being overloaded, this will shorten the life of
your power brick.
Shut down your equipment immediately if it produces smoke, a strange odor, or unusual noise. Continued use may lead to fire.
Immediately unplug the equipment and contact your dealer or Frap Tools at the address above for advice.
Never attempt to repair this product yourself. Improper repair work can be dangerous. Never disassemble or modify this product.
Tampering with this product may result in injury or fire and will void your warranty.
Be sure to use the external power brick provided by Frap Tools. Connection to an improper power source may cause fire.
Do not allow foreign matter to fall into the equipment. Penetration by foreign objects may lead to fire.
If water or other liquid spills into this equipment, do not continue to use it. Continued use may lead to fire. Unplug the power cord
immediately and contact your dealer or Frap Tools at the address above for advice.
2. WHAT IS SILTA
SILTA is a clean, regulated, and protected power solution for eurorack systems. The SILTA 6HP eurorack power module provides up
to:
• 1.25A @ +12V
• 1.25A @ -12V
• 1.5A @ +5V
The SILTA power system included in the SILTA powered UNO foldable cases provides up to:
• 3.75A @ +12V
• 3.75A @ -12V
• 1.5A @ +5V - in the middle row
3. MOUNTING THE MODULE
Make sure the 16 pin IDC female connector on the SILTA flying bus is connected to the male connector on the SILTA board.
Install the 6HP module in your case keeping the push button on the outside, using all the 4 screws provided to be sure the module
is safely and tightly connected to your eurorack case.
Then connect your modules to the SILTA flying bus, as suggested by the modules’ manufacturer(s). The SILTA flying bus use
orientation marked male connectors so be extremely sure to connect all your modules in the right way. Frap Tools is not responsible
of any damage caused by any wrong cable connection.
4. EXTERNAL POWER BRICK
To get the best results, we suggest to use only our 24VDC power brick provided with your SILTA system. Other power bricks may
work just fine, but we cannot guarantee them. Using an incorrect power supply will void any warranty on this product.
Some small SILTA systems, as the standalone SILTA 6HP eurorack module, does not include the power brick because you may use
the module daisy chained with a 2.5 mm standard DC-DC power cable (sold separately) to other SILTA 6HP eurorack modules to
expand your system power capabilities, and making two power bricks unnecessary. In that case just be sure to get at least one of
our power bricks to power up to 3 standalone SILTA 6HP eurorack modules.
5. POWER UP
Connect the power brick 24VDC power adaptor to the input plug on the SILTA module labeled ‘24V DC’ at the base of the module.
Pushing the black latching switch when the power brick is connected will power the SILTA on.
When the SILTA is powered on, you’ll see that the 3 LEDs used for the +5V, +12V and -12V lights up. This is helpful to understand if
each rail is working properly.
An internal circuit creates reg12V (1.25A), -12V (1.25A) and +5V (1.5A) that supply:
