Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the blue input connector and the gray output connector?
The blue connector (Powerconnector A) is the standard for power input (Power-IN). The gray connector (Powerconnector TR) is the standard for power output (Power-OUT). They are designed with different notches to prevent incorrect connections and ensure safe electrical flow.
What type of clamp do I need for the M10 thread?
Any standard truss clamp, claw, or adapter on the market that uses an M10 metric screw attachment can be used.
Is this adapter waterproof?
The Powerconnector TR output connector is IP65 rated when paired with a compatible connector, providing protection against dust and water jets. However, the entire adapter must be used in conditions that protect it from direct exposure to the elements to ensure proper operation and safety.
Can I connect more than 20 amps through the adapter?
No. The adapter is designed and certified for a maximum load of 20 amps. Exceeding this capacity may overheat the device, damage connected equipment, and pose a safety risk.
