21.3.1.12. Dual Diode Assembly (94-100004)
The purpose of these dual diode assemblies is to allow two DC voltage sources to be combined, so
that the main DC rail within the equipment can be sourced from either a mains driven PSU, or
externally through an XLR connector or from dual mains driven PSUs . They are very heavy-duty
diodes and they prevent any reverse current from flowing back to their source or the alternative
supply rail. Combining diodes such as these will also be used if the equipment is to be powered from
external back-up batteries.
21.3.1.13. PSU 24V (96-300060)
The power supply unit is a switched-mode type capable of supplying 24V DC at 6.25Amps
continuously. Equipment of this type typically requires approximately 2-2.5Amps at 24V DC, so the
PSU will be used conservatively ensuring a long operational lifetime.
No routine maintenance of the PSU is required. If a fault is suspected, then the output voltage from
the power supply may be measured on its output terminals. This is typically set to 24.5V. The output
voltage may be varied using a multi-turn adjustment potentiometer mounted close to the DC output
terminals.
The line input voltage is sensed automatically, so no adjustment or link setting is needed by the
operator.
