POWER SUPPLY UNIT
TYPE AD100-015
The AD100-015 mains POWER SUPPLY UNIT is suitable for driving most of 
AUDIO DEVELOPMENTS’ range of portable audio mixers. This PSU is a single-rail 
device providing 1A of current at +15V DC potential and is used as a substitute for 
battery power with mixers containing an internal DC-DC converter. 
 
The AD100-015 may be powered from either a 110/120V AC source or a 220V/240V 
AC source. Ensure that the AC voltage source is in the range 100V to 240V AC. 
Operating the equipment at the wrong voltage could be hazardous. Care must be 
taken to connect the LIVE, NEUTRAL and EARTH pins of the PSU’s IEC mains 
connector to the corresponding terminals associated with the AC source. The PSU 
contains an indicator that illuminates when the PSU is operational. 
 
FOR SAFETY REASONS, AD100-015 POWER SUPPLY UNIT MUST BE 
CONNECTED TO MAINS EARTH. Any maintenance to the PSU or its mains cable 
assembly should be performed by a qualified engineer. 
 
CHARGING: If nickel-cadmium cells are fitted in an AD250 series mixer, they may 
be recharged in situ from an AD100-016 power supply - whether the mixer is in use or 
not. (Maximum current is set at 250mA - in addition to the 500mA of current 
supplying the audio electronics.). The charge circuit within the mixer is powered by 
connecting to Pin 2 of the 4 pin DC Power XLR. DO NOT ACTIVATE THE CHARGE 
CIRCUIT UNLESS THE MIXER IS FITTED WITH NICKEL-CADMIUM CELLS. 
REMOVE CHARGE LINK FROM POWER-IN XLR IF DRY-CELLS ARE FITTED. 
 
FUSE: A fuse link should be fitted to the mains supply to protect against fault 
conditions 
 
 
 
 
For continued safety the specified fuse link must be fitted in the mains fuse holder 
when a replacement is required. Ensure it is of a type approved by a National 
Approved Body.
