Zeus Series: microZEUS with Flying Bus Boards
Wall Adapter Information
The uZEUS is designed to power systems ranging from 3U to 6U of 84HP with
mixed analog and digital modules. Please make sure to use official Tiptop power
adapter as these adapters are specially made to attain the best uZEUS
performance and provide maximum power rating.
As of January 2017, the Tiptop wall adapter supplied with the Happy Ending Kit
are switch-mode type rated at1000mA. These adapters have internal overload
protection which will cause the lights on the uZEUS to flash in case the adapter
is overloaded. Please note that although the adapter is rated at 1000ma modules
with high capacitive load will exceed their published power rating on power up.
When those spikes in current add up this might trigger the overload protection
of this power adapter model. To keep expanding your system we recommend
the larger and more powerful uZeus Boost adapter.
Notes:
Please note: the uZeus is designed to be mounted on metal rails with good
heat transfer such as Tiptop Z-Rails. Do not install the uZeus directly to wood or
any other flammable material, this will cause the uZeus to overheat.
To avoid crosstalk, it is recommended that High current-drawing modules like
digital and DSP modules, VCOs and sound/noise generators should not all be
plugged into a single bus board. For modules that are placed next to the uZEUS
and have more than one circuit board and may block the flying bus boards, take
advantage of the ribbon cables flexibility and route it around the module. The
bus boards were designed with this consideration in mind.
