More Zephyr technical info

Hi all,

I bought a Zephyr recently. Because I imported it from the US to the UK, I bought it without the US-spec power supply. So I needed to find out how to connect my own power supply. For the benefit of anyone else who does this, here's what I learnt:

Power input socket:
  • the input requires 15V (rms) AC 50/60Hz (must not exceed 16V rms)
  • alternatively, 18V DC may be used (must not exceed 22V DC)
  • the supply requires up to 2.5A to meet the full capability of the Zephyr.
  • the connector is 5.5mm dia. (outer), 2.0mm dia. (inner)
  • for a DC supply, the centre pin is positive, the outer conductor is negative.

QUOTE In my opinion, it's only a matter of time before venue owners/operators insist of P A Testing. Many venues already insist on everyone using a "circuit breaker".
I had a circuit breaker installed in my garage where I'm building my new layout for safety reasons.
