Instruction Manual
PAGlok Power
Module
1.1 The PAGlok Power Module is a compact unit which can utilise up to
three batteries to supply continuous power for editing equipment,
remote cameras or microwave links.
1.2 Two PAGlok Power Modules can be linked together, allowing up to
five batteries to be utilised.
1.3 Nickel-Cadmium, Nickel-Metal Hydride and Lithium-Ion batteries
may be used. At no time are any two batteries electrically
connected, allowing any mix of these chemistries to be used with
the PAGlok Power Module.
1.4 Model No. 9663 incorporates the additional feature of an integral
DC-DC converter, enabling the continuous powering of equipment
which requires a 7.2V power source.
INTRODUCTION
SECTION 1
SPECIFICATION
SECTION 2

will be discharged by only 50% to 60%.
2.3 Battery Type:
Nickel-Cadmium, Nickel-Metal Hydride or Lithium-Ion.
NOTE: Lead-acid batteries are unsuitable for use with the PAGlok
Power Module.
2.4 Maximum Voltage:
20V.
2.5 Output Rating:

7.2V Output (Model 9663): Maximum continuous current 1.5A.
The output is protected against short circuit and over-current.
2.6 Connections:
PAGlok: Patented professional locking connector compatible with
all PAGlok batteries. Incorporates self-cleaning military-type
beryllium-copper leaf contacts.
Remote Input:
XLR-4 male: Pin 1 negative, Pin 4 positive, Pins 2 & 3 sense.
XLR-4 Output:
XLR-4 female: Pin 1 negative, Pin 4 positive, Pins 2 & 3 sense.
NOTE: The PAGlok Power Module Interconnecting Lead (Model No.
9664) has a special wiring configuration to deliniate master/slave
Module configuration.
7.2V Output (Model No. 9663):
Pin 1: positive, Pin 2: no connection, Pin 3: negative.
2.7 User Interface:
The unit is provided with a Power switch which enables the output
power to be turned on or off. Battery status is shown by LED
indicators.
2.8 Changeover Voltage:
The unit will switch the output instantaneously from a nominally
discharged battery to a nominally charged battery when the voltage
on the discharged battery reaches 11.71V (2%). At no time are any
two batteries connected together.
2.9 Safety:
The Power Module is designed to be operated at Safety Extra Low
voltage.
2.10 European Union Directives:
Complies with EMC Directive 89/336/EU. The Power Module is
designed to be operated at Safety Extra Low voltage and therefore
falls outside the scope of the EU Low Voltage Directive.
2.11 Operating Temperature Range:
0ºC to 40ºC (+32ºF to +104ºF).
2.12 Overall Dimensions (H x W x D):
135 x 115 x 55mm (5.3" x 4.5" x 2.1" approx.).
2.13 Weight:
410gm (0.9lbs approx.).
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
SECTION 3
3.1 Ensure that the Power switch is set to OFF (0).
3.2 Battery Connection - Single Power Module:
IMPORTANT: Use 12V to 14.4V batteries ONLY.
Connect charged batteries to the Power Module. Up to three
batteries may be connected to the Module, using the two PAGlok
connectors and the XLR-4 male connector labelled ‘REMOTE INPUT’.
3.3 Battery Connection - Two Power Modules:
IMPORTANT: Use 12V to 14.4V batteries ONLY.
Connect the ‘OUTPUT’ of one Power Module (which now becomes the
‘slave’ unit) to the ‘REMOTE INPUT’ of the other unit (which now
becomes the ‘master’ unit) using Power Module Interconnecting
Lead Model No. 9664. This lead incorporates a special wiring
configuration which identifies the ‘master/slave’ relationship of the
two units. Connect charged batteries to the Power Modules. Up to
five batteries may be connected, using the four Paglok connectors
and the connector labelled ‘REMOTE INPUT’ which is available on the
slave unit.
3.4 Connect the equipment to be powered to the connector labelled
‘OUTPUT’.
NOTE: Model 9663 incorporates a 7.2V output facility, which may be
used concurrently with the standard XLR-4 output. When using two
Power Modules, do not use the 7.2V output on the slave unit.
3.5 Turn the Power switch to ON (-). One of the batteries will be
connected to the output, and the LED for that channel will flash.
3.6 The LED for any other channel that has a battery connected will be
lit continuously (non-flashing).
3.7 The LED for any channel that does not have a battery connected will
not be lit.
3.8 When a battery becomes discharged down to the changeover
voltage, the LED indicator for that channel will be extinguished,
and the next battery will be instantaneously connected to the
output. The LED indicator for that channel will then commence to
flash.

4.1 The Power Module is not intended for any use other than the
sequencing of battery power output as detailed in Section 2
‘Specification’.
4.2 Use only with batteries of the correct rating. See Section 2
‘Specification’ .
4.3 Ensure that the ventilation slots are not obstructed when in use,
e.g. do not site on a deep pile carpet, or cover when in use.
4.4 The Power Module is extremely rugged and designed for arduous
service conditions, but it should not be used if it has received
a severe drop or blow, or been otherwise damaged in any way.
It should be returned to your local dealer, or direct to PAG Ltd.,
London, for service or repair.
4.5 Unqualified personnel should not attempt disassemble the Power
Module (see paragraph 4.1 above). Any such interference would
invalidate the guarantee and invariably cause more damage than the
original fault. There are no user-serviceable parts inside, and
incorrect reassembly may result in a safety hazard.
4.6 In the unlikely event of a fault developing, seek advice from
your nearest PAG dealer or direct from PAG Ltd., London, by
telephoning [phone].
3.9 The sequence will continue until all the connected batteries
have been used.
3.10 Batteries may be disconnected and others connected as
necessary to enable continuous running to be achieved.
3.11 A carrying strap is provided with each Power Module. Each end
of the strap is fitted by locating it over the mushroom lug and
pulling upwards to lock it in place. Removal of the strap is achieved
by reversing the above procedure.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
SECTION 4

warranty is exclusive: PAG Limited warrants each PAGlok Power
Module it manufactures to be free of defects in material and
workmanship under use and service for two years from the date of
purchase. This warranty extends only to the original purchaser. This
warranty shall not apply to fuses or any product or parts which have
been subject to misuse, neglect, accident or abnormal conditions of
operation.
5.2 In the event of failure of a product covered by this warranty, PAG
Limited will repair and calibrate equipment returned to an
authorised Service Facility within the period of the warranty,
provided the warrantor’s examination discloses to its satisfaction
the product was defective. The warrantor may, at its option, replace
the product in lieu of repair. With regard to any equipment returned
within this period, said repairs or replacements will be made
without charge. If the failure has been caused by misuse, neglect,
accident or abnormal conditions of operation, repairs will be billed
at a nominal cost. In such a case, an estimate will be submitted
before work is started, if requested.
5.3 The foregoing Warranty is in lieu of all other warranties, express
or implied, including but not limited to any implied warranty of
merchantability, fitness or adequacy for any particular purpose or
use. PAG Limited shall not be liable for any special, incidental, or
