STEP C.2 – Connect the DaqBook/2000A or DaqBook/2000X to Power
What you will need:
A power supply with a range of +10 VDC to +30 VDC.
The power supply needs to have a male DIN5 connector.
Note: The switching-mode power supply that is commonly used with DaqBook/2000 Series systems
has an input range of 100 VAC to 240 VAC at 50 Hz to 60 Hz. The power supply’s output
[to the DaqBook/2000 Series device] is 15 VDC @ 2.7 amps via a DIN5 connector.
Note: Various AC adapter models support power grids of USA, Europe, Japan, and Asia.
Reference Note: It is possible to use a VDC power source other than the commonly
used switching-mode power supply, often referred to as an adapter. However, you
should consult the Power Management Section of your DaqBook/2000 Series User’s
Manual (p/n 1103-0901) before doing so.
