jimbartlett Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Hello, I wondered if someone could answer a question for me? I want to run a DHA rackmount unit from a Power Conditioner. I was thinking of making a cable which has a normal socket on one end and plug the other end into the Power Conditioner. I could then plug my normal 12v adapter into this then into the back of the DHA. Would this work ok? I think it would work I just wanted to check I wasn't being stupid Cheers, Jim.

You could either use a flying 13-amp socket or get one mounted on a plastic wallbox and secure it inside your rack. Run a cable from the socket to an IEC plug. Plug in your 12v adaptor. The other alternative is to find a 12v dc supply that has a captive mains lead, rather than a plug-in wallwort type and just fit an IEC instead otf the 13-amp plug. You can secure that inside the rack with tie-wraps or velcro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just plug the mains plug on the VT5 into the conditioner. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbartlett Posted July 16, 2007 Author Share Posted July 16, 2007 Dave, I'm sorry, I never thought of asking you about this. I assumed it would be the same as you other equipment. So it's a standard kettle lead power cable? Cheers, Jim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
