Important Precautions
•
Do not allow water, moisture or foreign objects into the power supply.
•
Do not cover the air intake, fan, and other vent holes. This will cause the
power supply to overheat.
•
Do not exceed 120V AC input.
•
Do not leave the power supply connected to AC when unused.
• Do not open or attempt to repair the power supply at any time. Contact
Hobby Services for any and all repair needs.
•
Keep out of reach of children.
AC Input Power
The TrakPower DPS power supply accepts power from a 110V AC source. This
is a “switching” power supply as opposed to a linear power supply which
employs a high frequency switch-mode design to convert 110V AC input to
a 12V DC output. This state-of-the-art technology allows the power supply
to operate without a big, heavy internal transformer and results in a very
small and lightweight device that can deliver a tremendous amount of power.
This technology also generates highly effi cient and clean DC output. This is
especially valuable today as many R/C chargers utilize peak detection designs
which are very sensitive and demand the cleanest power sources possible in
order to maintain error-free operation.
DC Output Power
The TrakPower DPS Power Supply has a fi xed
output of 12VDC and provides a maximum 25 amps.
There are a total of three 12VDC outputs located on
the charger. One is located on
the top and is for allowing
the TrakPower VR-1 Race
Charger to be docked,
eliminating DC power cables.
The other two outputs are located on the right side of the charger. These
outputs can be used to power additional chargers and/or other DC powered
devices.
Power Switch
The power switch is located on the rear panel of the power supply. This switch
illuminates when it is in the on position. The switch does not illuminate when
it is in the off position. It is recommended to turn the power supply off when
not in use to extend its lifespan.
