Frequently Asked Questions
What type of connectors does the PSB10 use exactly?
It uses connectors compatible with the PowerCON industry standard, specifically a power input connector (blue) and a power output connector (gray/white).
Can I daisy-chain multiple high-power devices?
Yes, it is possible to connect multiple devices in series. However, the total power consumption of all connected devices must not exceed the adapter's maximum capacity, which is 20 amps.
What do I need to mount the adapter on a truss?
You only need a standard truss clamp that has an M10 threaded screw to attach it to the threaded hole of the PSB10.
Is it suitable for use on tours and outdoor events?
Its aluminum casing makes it very sturdy and durable, ideal for touring conditions. However, it is not a water-resistant device, so it should be protected from rain and humidity at outdoor events.
