SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Notice For Customers If Your Unit Is Equipped With A Power Cord.

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE SHALL BE CONNECTED TO A MAINS SOCKET OUTLET WITH A PROTECTIVE EARTHING CONNECTION.

The cores in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

GREEN and YELLOW - Earth

BLUE - Neutral

BROWN - Live

As colours of the cores in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

•The core which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug marked with the letter E, or with the earth symbol, or coloured green, or green and yellow.

•The core which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal marked N or coloured black.

•The core which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal marked L or coloured red.

This equipment may require the use of a different line cord, attachment plug, or both, depending on the available power source at installation. If the attachment plug needs to be changed, refer servicing to qualified service personnel who should refer to the following table. The green/yellow wire shall be connected directly to the units chassis.

	CONDUCTOR		WIRE COLOR
			Normal	Alt
L		LIVE	BROWN	BLACK
N		NEUTRAL	BLUE	WHITE
E		EARTH GND	GREEN/YEL	GREEN

WARNING: If the ground is defeated, certain fault conditions in the unit or in the system to which it is connected can result in full line voltage between chassis and earth ground. Severe injury or death can then result if the chassis and earth ground are touched simultaneously.

The following is indicative of low altitude use; do not use this product above 2000m.

CAUTION: Ensure vents on the V-10 are not blocked.

CAUTION: For Use with Audio/Video Equipment.

WARNING:

•Apparatet må tilkoples jordet stikkontakt

•Apparaten skall anslutas till jordat uttag

•Laite on liitettävä suojakoskettimilla varustettuun pistorasiaan

WARNING FOR YOUR PROTECTION READ THE FOLLOWING:

KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS

HEED ALL WARNINGS

FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS

The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing liquid and no object filled with liquid, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus

CLEAN ONLY WITH A DRY CLOTH.

FOR INDOOR USE ONLY.

DO NOT BLOCK ANY OF THE VENTILATION OPENINGS. INSTALL IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS.

DO NOT INSTALL NEAR ANY HEAT SOURCES SUCH AS RADIATORS, HEAT REGISTERS, STOVES, OR OTHER APPARATUS (INCLUDING AMPLIFIERS) THAT PRODUCE HEAT.

ONLY USE ATTACHMENTS/ACCESSORIES SPECIFIED BY THE MANUFACTURER.

UNPLUG THIS APPARATUS DURING LIGHTNING STORMS OR WHEN UNUSED FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME.

Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

Use only with the cart stand, tripod bracket, or table specified by the manufacture, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.­

Refer all servicing to to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

POWER ON/OFF SWITCH: For products provided with a power switch, the power switch DOES NOT break the connection from the mains.

MAINS DISCONNECT: The plug shall remain readily operable. For rack-mount or installation where plug is not accessible, an all-pole mains switch with a contact separation of at least 3 mm in each pole shall be incorporated into the electrical installation of the rack or building.

FOR UNITS EQUIPPED WITH EXTERNALLY ACCESSIBLE FUSE RECEPTACLE: Replace fuse with same type and rating only.

MULTIPLE-INPUT VOLTAGE: This equipment may require the use of a different line cord, attachment plug, or both, depending on the available power source at installation. Connect this equipment only to the power source indicated on the equipment rear panel. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, refer servicing to qualified service personnel or equivalent.

If connected to 240V supply, a suitable CSA/UL certified power cord shall be used for this supply.

The symbols shown above are internationally accepted symbols that warn of potential hazards with electrical products. The lightning flash with arrowpoint in an equilateral triangle means that there are dangerous voltages present within the unit. The exclamation point in an equilateral triangle indicates that it is necessary for the user to refer to the owner’s manual.

These symbols warn that there are no user serviceable parts inside the unit. Do not open the unit. Do not attempt to service the unit yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel. Opening the chassis for any reason will void the manufacturer’s warranty. Do not get the unit wet. If liquid is spilled on the unit, shut it off immediately and take it to a dealer for service. Disconnect the unit during storms to prevent damage.

U.K. MAINS PLUG WARNING

A molded mains plug that has been cut off from the cord is unsafe. Discard the mains plug at a suitable disposal facility. NEVER UNDER ANY

CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU INSERT A DAMAGED OR CUT MAINS PLUG INTO A 13 AMP POWER SOCKET. Do not use the mains plug without the fuse cover in place. Replacement fuse covers can be obtained from your local retailer. Replacement fuses are 13 amps and MUST be ASTA approved to BS1362.

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the DigiTech® HardWire® V-10 Power Block. The V-10 Power Block is a regulated, high current power supply providing 10 fully isolated, short-circuit protected, low-noise outputs.

With a variety of voltages to choose from and an assortment of 17 included power cables, the V-10 can power a wide array of pedals on even the most demanding pedalboard designs.

The V-10 is right at home on virtually any pedalboard but was engineered to mount under the popular Pedaltrain® PT-JR/PT-1/PT-2 pedalboards or the Pedaltrain PT-3/PT-PRO pedalboards using their mounting bracket kit.

Providing ultra clean power to all your pedals, the V-10 is an essential addition for players who know about sound quality and demand the utmost in performance.

1.Power LED - This green LED illuminates when AC power is supplied to the V-10.

2.DC Power Output Jacks 1-4 - These four outputs provide fixed 9VDC power. The maximum allowable current draw on each of these outputs is 150mA (see “Specifications”).

3.DC Power Output Jacks 5-6 - These two outputs provide independently selectable 9VDC or 12VDC power. These outputs are mergable, allowing for connection of “power hungry” pedals which require more current. The maximum allowable current draw on each of these outputs is 200mA (unmerged). When merged, these outputs can provide a shared total of 400mA of available current (see “Specifications”). Note that even when these outputs are merged, they can still be independently set to 9VDC or 12VDC.

4.Merge Status LED 5-6 - This yellow LED indicates the merge status of outputs 5 and 6, illuminating when these outputs are merged.

5.DC Power Output Jacks 7-8 - These two outputs provide independently selectable 9VDC or 12VDC power. These outputs are mergable, allowing for connection of “power hungry” pedals which require more current. The maximum allowable current draw on each of these outputs is 150mA (unmerged). When merged, these outputs can provide a shared total of 300mA of available current (see “Specifications”). Note that even when these outputs are merged, they can still be independently set to 9VDC or 12 VDC.

6.Merge Status LED 7-8 - This yellow LED indicates the merge status of outputs 7 and 8, illuminating when these outputs are merged.

7.DC Power Output Jacks 9-10 - These two outputs are independently selectable and provide either fixed 9VDC power or variable 5-9VDC power. The maximum allowable current draw on each of these outputs is 150mA (see “Specifications”).

8.Trim Control (Output 9) - When power output 9 is configured for variable operation, use a flat-head screwdriver or the tip of your finger to turn this trim control to adjust the output’s voltage.
