The voltage supplied to "IN" connector of the Q5†B in the final extension reaches 4.75 VDC or higher on the condition that the sum total of voltage drop to "IN" connector of Q5†B (V) is 0.15V or lower.

(2)When the Q6B is connected between the Q3B and the Q5B

(a) Selection condition

4.75VDC or higher should be supplied to the "IN" connector of the Q5†B in the final extension.

(b) How to calculate voltage to "IN" connector

The 5VDC output voltage of the power supply module on the main base unit is set to at least 4.90VDC.

Therefore, the Q5†B can be used if the voltage drop is 0.15VDC or lower (4.9VDC - 4.75VDC = 0.15VDC).

[When the Q5B is connected to Extension stage 2.]
