STEP 2 – Connect the WBK40 or WBK41 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 has an input range of 100 VAC to
240 VAC at 50 Hz to 60 Hz. The power supply’s output [to the 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 WaveBook User’s Manual
(p/n 489-0901) before doing so.
DIN5 POWER IN Connector (+10 to +30 VDC)
How to make the connection:
1. Place the WBK40 or WBK41 power switch in the “OFF” (0) position, if it is not already OFF.
2. Connect the DIN5 end of the adapter’s cable to the power in connector on the WBK40 or
WBK41 (see preceding figure).
If using a power source other than the adapter, consult the Power Management Section of your
WaveBook User’s Manual (p/n 489-0901) before doing so.
3. Connect the adapter’s plug to a standard AC outlet.
4. If your adapter has a power switch, position it to “ON.”
5. T urn ON the WBK40 or WBK41 by placing the unit’s power switch to the “1” position. The
power led will light up.
6. T urn the WaveBook/516E or WBK25 “ON” by placing the unit’s power switch to the “1”
position.
