Power Input

APower connector — The MPA 401-100V ships with an Extron 36 W desktop power supply (PS 1230 [part number 70-769-01]). The MPA 401-70V ships with either the Extron 36 W desktop power supply or the Extron 12 VDC, 5 A power supply (EPS 1250 C [part number 70-725-01]).

When using the EPS 1250 C power supply, connect the two pole, 3.5 mm captive screw connector from the power supply to the power socket on the rear panel of the MPA 40170V, as shown below in figure 3. Ensure the connections have the correct polarity as shown.

CAUTION: Always use a power supply supplied or specified by Extron. Use of an unauthorized power supply voids all regulatory compliance certification and may cause damage to the supply and the end product.

Unless otherwise stated, the AC/DC adapters are not suitable for use in air handling spaces or in wall cavities. The power supply is to be located within the same vicinity as the Extron A/V processing equipment in an ordinary location, Pollution Degree 2, secured to the equipment rack within the dedicated closet, podium or desk.

The installation must always be in accordance with the applicable provisions of National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, article 75 and the Canadian Electrical Code part 1, section 16. The power supply shall not be permanently fixed to building structure or similar structure.

NOTES: The length of the exposed wires in the stripping process is critical. The

ideal length is 3/16 inches (5 mm). Any longer and the exposed wires may

touch, causing a short circuit between them. Any shorter and the wires can be easily pulled out even if tightly fastened by the captive screws.

Do not tin the wires. Tinned wire does not hold its shape and can become loose over time.
