2.1 Achieving the Best Performance
To achieve the best performance:
Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer high-
performance, high-resolution cables) to avoid interference, deterioration in
signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often
associated with low quality cables)
Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils
Avoid interference from neighbouring electrical appliances that may adversely
influence signal quality
Position your VA-101P12, VA-102P12 away from moisture, excessive sunlight
and dust
This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be
connected to other equipment that is installed inside a building.

60601-1-2, Clause 2.1.3, Medical Electrical Equipment, Part 1: General
Requirements for EMC standard which is required when accessory devices are
used at locations where medical personnel and patients are present.
In this environment, the VA-101P12 and the VA-102P12 can be added to the
system ONLY if the connecting equipment has been evaluated and meets the IEC
60601-1-2 EMC standards. Note, that when attaching accessory devices to a digital
or analog interface, they must comply with the IEC standard for which they are
used: for EMC Standard (IEC 60601-1-2), Information Technology equipment (IEC
60950-1 (2ed)).

3 Overview
The VA-101P12 and VA-102P12 are 5- and 10-output power supplies used for
powering 12V DC powered devices. The VA-101P12 can supply a maximum of 1A
of current to each of five devices for a total of 5A current. The VA-102P12 can
supply a maximum of 1A of current to each of ten devices for a total of 10A current.
The power supplies are especially useful in high-population installations for saving
space and eliminating a large number of 12V DC power adapters.
