VA-100P-5 - Overview 3
3 Overview
The Kramer VA-100P-5 Power Supply is an efficient 10-outlet switching power
supply that can output 5V DC to up to 8A, or a maximum of 2A per output (up to 4
outputs at any one time). It can supply 800mA to each of the 10 outputs
simultaneously.
In addition, the VA-100P-5:
•Is designed to operate Kramer products that use an external 5V DC power
transformer
•Replaces up to 10 individual 5V DC power supplies for Kramer TOOLS™,
Kramer PicoTOOLS™, and Kramer 5V DC Desktop models
•Can be rack-mounted in a 19” rack (RK-1) and then conveniently used to
power up to ten 5V operated products mounted on the same rack
The complete list of Kramer rack mounts is on our Web site at
http://www.kramerelectronics.com.
•Is fed from a 100-240V AC universal switching power supply and is housed
in a half 19" enclosure
Ensure that the polarity of the unit to be connected matches that of the
VA-100P-5: positive voltage in the center.
Make sure that the inrush current of the powered machines does
not exceed the current capacity of the VP-100P-5. If the inrush
current of the machines is not known, we recommend adding at
least 25% overhead to the machines’ specified current ratings.
