1 1 Introduction Welcome to Kramer Electronics! Since 1981, Kramer Electronics has been providing a world of unique, creative, and affordable solutions to the vast range of problems that confront the video, audio, presentation, and broadcasting professional on a daily basis. In recent years, we have redesigned and upgraded most of our line, making the best even better! Our 1,000-plus different models now appear in 11 groups that are clearly defined by function: GROUP 1: Distribution Amplifiers; GROUP 2: Switchers and Matrix Switchers; GROUP 3: Control Systems; GROUP 4: Format/Standards Converters; GROUP 5: Range Extenders and Repeaters; GROUP 6: Specialty AV Products; GROUP 7: Scan Converters and Scalers; GROUP 8: Cables and Connectors; GROUP 9: Room Connectivity; GROUP 10: Accessories and Rack Adapters and GROUP 11: Sierra Products. Congratulations on purchasing your Kramer VA-100P-5 Power Supply, which is ideal for the following typical applications: • Any AV system using multiple 5V DC operated products • As battery replacements for field/battery operated equipment

2 Getting Started We recommend that you: • Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging materials for possible future shipment • Review the contents of this user manual • Use Kramer high-performance, high-resolution cables • Use only the power cord that is supplied with this machine Go to http://www.kramerelectronics.com to check for up-to-date user manuals, application programs, and to check if firmware upgrades are available (where appropriate). 2.1 Achieving the Best Performance To achieve the best performance: • Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils • Position your Kramer VA-100P-5 away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust Caution: No operator serviceable parts inside the unit Warning: Disconnect the power and unplug the unit from the wall before installing i !

3 3 Overview The Kramer VA-100P-5 Power Supply is an efficient 10-outlet switching power supply that can output 5V DC to up to 8A, or a maximum of 2A per output (up to 4 outputs at any one time). It can supply 800mA to each of the 10 outputs simultaneously. In addition, the VA-100P-5: • Is designed to operate Kramer products that use an external 5V DC power transformer • Replaces up to 10 individual 5V DC power supplies for Kramer TOOLS™, Kramer PicoTOOLS™, and Kramer 5V DC Desktop models • Can be rack-mounted in a 19” rack (RK-1) and then conveniently used to power up to ten 5V operated products mounted on the same rack The complete list of Kramer rack mounts is on our Web site at http://www.kramerelectronics.com. • Is fed from a 100-240V AC universal switching power supply and is housed in a half 19" enclosure Ensure that the polarity of the unit to be connected matches that of the VA-100P-5: positive voltage in the center. Make sure that the inrush current of the powered machines does not exceed the current capacity of the VP-100P-5. If the inrush current of the machines is not known, we recommend adding at least 25% overhead to the machines’ specified current ratings. i

Can output 5V DC to up to 8A or a maximum of 2000mA per output (up to 4 outputs at the same time). It can supply 800mA to each of the 10 outputs simultaneously 3 Power Connector with FUSE AC connector enabling power supply to the unit

5 5 Using the Power Supply To use your VA-100P-5, as the example in Figure 2 illustrates, do the following: 1. Connect up to 10 power outlets, using DC-to-DC cables (supplied with the VA-100P-5). The example in Figure 2 illustrates how to connect the 5V DC OUTPUT 1 power outlet to the 5V DC power socket on the Kramer VP-211K Automatic UXGA / Audio Switcher, and how to connect the 5V DC OUTPUT 10 power outlet to the 5V DC power socket on a Kramer VS-33Vxl 3x1 Video Switcher. 2. Connect the power cord to the mains electricity. Figure 2: Connecting the VA-100P-5 Power Supply
