About PowerPlus 3000
About the PowerPlus 3000 System
About the PowerPlus 3000 System
The PowerPlus 3000 system is used with CopperHead links, delivering electrical current to a
video camera equipped with a CopperHead Camera Unit by adding power to an SMPTE
Hybrid cable. The system consists of a camera-mountable PowerPlus adaptor at the camera,
and the HDX Power Supply, located some distance away (up to 2 km), and connected by
SMPTE Hybrid cable.
All of the signals on the two strands of fiber connecting the CopperHead Camera Unit and
the CopperHead Base Station are passed transparently through the PowerPlus and the HDX
Power Supply.
The standard PowerPlus provides up to 100 watts of power to the camera and accessories.
The High Profile PowerPlus can provide up to 150 watts.
The PowerPlus delivers a nominal 14 Volts to the camera through the battery plate, as well
as to a 4-pin XLR connector for powering additional accessories.
For applications where 24 volt power is required at the camera, the 12/24 power option
provides this voltage to two 3-pin Lemo connectors on the PowerPlus adaptor.
Fig. 1-1: CopperHead System Using PowerPlus and HDX
The first part of the fiber run can be made via “dry” tactical or infrastructure fiber, after
which the HDX power supply is placed in line to provide a powered SMPTE hybrid fiber
cable for the camera. Such a system is typically configured as shown in Figure 1-1 and
includes the following components:
A. Camera Unit
B. PowerPlus
C. CHCR camera remote cable
D. DC-powered Base Station*.
E. CHBR base remote cable
F. Tactical fiber or Infrastructure fiber run
G. HDX Power Supply
H.SMPTE 311M hybrid fiber optic cable
I. ADAP 12VDC power supply
The Base Station can be separated from the HDX power supply on “dry fiber” (F) by more
than nine kilometers (5.6 miles) , where powered hybrid cable (H) can be run to the camera
for another two km (1.2 miles).

Optical Fiber Safety
Never look directly into the end of the optic fiber while either end of the system is
operating.
Always use cable connector caps when the cables are not connected. This protects the
connector from damage and the unlikely event of exposure to an operating optical link.
Keeping the caps in place when the connectors are not in use will prevent dirt and dust
from entering the connector and degrading the performance of the optical link.
Power Fuses
The HDX is equipped with two fuses located next to the AC Power receptacle on the front
of the unit. Refer to section HDX Fuse Holder on page 15 for specific fuse and location
information.
Never operate the HDX without properly installed and rated fuses. Severe electrical and
heat damage could result as well as personal injury or death.
