The C100 Power System is the solution for powering your
modular system.
The C100 Power System is composed of :
- A C100 Power module, with the external PSU input , the on / o
switch, the rail status leds but also it's is a Voltage Sources
module.
- An universal external PSU (works from 100-240V and 50-60Hz)
- A high quality internal DC /DC converter
- A power distribution board
- Power cables
The advantages of this kind of power system are :
- There is no dangerous voltages inside de cabinet.
- It's much less heavy than a linear PSU , making the cabinets
more portable
- Using a distribution board reduce to 0 the amount non used
power cables inside the cabinet
The C100 Power System is really easy to install and not special
tools are requires ( just a screw driver ). A step by step installation
guide is provided in the user manual.
The C100 Power System can provide up to an 1 Amp per rail
(+/-15V ). The 5V are taken from the +15V rail (100 mAmp
maximum). The 5V volts only use the amperage that it's needed
so if no modules uses the 5V rail no amperage is consumed and
all is available at the 15V rail.
The C100 designed to power up to 24 modules, that it’s more or
less a 32-36 spaces cabinet depending on the power
consumption of each module and how many non-single-wide
modules are installed on the system.

CONTROL DESCRIPTION
POWER SUPPLY LEDS INDICATORS
These leds indicates if the internal PSU is turned on, also they
show if all the rails are working properly.
VOLTAGE SOURCES
This four jacks are four xed voltage outputs. This voltages are
very useful to add osets to signals, as modulation signals...
The module needs to be connected to the bus board like any
other module to work. This voltages are not taken directly from
the PSU.
ON / OFF SWITCH - DC INPUT
The On / O Switch turn on and o the internal power
supply. The external brick PSU is connected to the DC
input.

BOARD
This picture shows how the C100 Power system will look like after you
nish the installation. Please follow the steps indicated in this installa-
tion guide.
For safety reasons and to avoid damaging in the power
system, before starts the installation please be sure that
the external DC brick is not connected to the C100
Power Module.
IMPORTANT !!!!
STEP 1
Place the DC / DC converter board and the Distribution Board where you want to
install them inside the cabinet. Check that the cables provided are long enough to
connect the C100 Power module to the DC / DC converter and the Distribution
Board to the DC / DC converter.

STEP 2
Using the provided spacers screw the DC / DC board and the Distribution board to
the cabinet. Don’t install the boards without the spacers!
In case you want to drill the holes in your cabinet to install the boards you can nd
the templates with the holes distances and diameters in the page 8 of this manual.

STEP 3
Connect the DC / DC converter board to the C100 Power modules using the con-
nector with two cables. The connector is keyed so is not possible to connect it
backwards.
STEP 4
Connect the DC / DC converter board to the Distribution Board using the connec-
tor with 4 cables. The connector is keyed so is not possible to connect it bac-
kwards.

STEP 5
Connect de modules to the distribution board using the white cables.
Don’t forget to conect the C100 Power Module to the distribution board!
Connect the
C100 Power Module
STEP 6
- Connect de external brick PSU to the DC input located in the front panel of the
C100 Power Module.
- Connect the power supply to the wall socket and turn on the C100 Power
Module.
The power supply leds indicators should turn on. In case they don’t , turn o the
C100 Power Module and check if everything is connectd as has been indicated in
this installation guide.
