2.2 Power supply accessories
2.2.1 Power Supply Unit (ZK28 93 685)
Power supply unit for charging the wireless transmitter and for power supply of base
and repeater unit. Automatic input voltage 100 – 240 V as well as switchable output
voltage.
If the power supply unit is to be used for supplying power to the WBU or WRU, you
need to cut off the connector plug and strip the insulation off of the ends of the cable.
You then clamp the wires in the terminal strip of the WRU or WBU.
Charging voltage / power supply settings:
WBU: 9VDC
Transmitter: 9VDC
WRU: 12VDC
The power supply unit is
fitted at the factory with a
connector plug for the
transmitter
