Power in connection

The MC5 unit is supplied with a single 30W power adapter which is sufficient to supply any configuration of the unit. The MC5- IP unit has two power input sockets to allow an auxiliary (redundant) power adapter to be connected. There is no on/off switch on the unit, so operation begins as soon as a power adapter is connected.

Note: MC5 units require a heavy

duty power adapter at either or both power input connectors. Use only the adapter supplied with the unit or available from LINDY. Do not use the standard 10W adapters that are supplied with other LINDY products, such as the User Station.

To connect the power supply

1Attach the output lead from the power adapter to the MAIN PWR IN socket on the rear panel of the MC5.

3 Connect the power lead to a nearby main supply socket.

4Repeat steps 1 to 3 for the auxiliary power adapter (using the AUX PWR IN socket), if a backup supply is required.

Note: Both the MC5 and its power supply generate heat when in operation and will become warm to the touch. Do not enclose them or place them locations where air cannot circulate to cool the equipment. Do not operate the equipment in ambient temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Centigrade. Do not place the products in contact with equipment whose surface temperature exceeds 40 degrees Centigrade. Using two power supplies will ensure that each power supply takes less load and run at a correspondingly cooler temperature.
