About PowerPlus 3000

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.
