2 Getting Started
We recommend that you:
Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging
materials for possible future shipment
Review the contents of this user manual
2.1 Achieving the Best Performance
To achieve the best performance:
Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer high-
performance, high-resolution cables) to avoid interference, deterioration in
signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often
associated with low quality cables)
Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils
Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely
influence signal quality
Position your Kramer products away from moisture, excessive sunlight and
dust

2.4 Accessory to Medical Equipment (IEC 60601-1-2)
VA-102P5-MD, VA-102P12-MD are certified according to the IEC 60601-1-2,
Clause 2.1.3, Medical Electrical Equipment, Part 1: General Requirements for
EMC standard which is required when accessory devices are used at locations
where medical personnel and patients are present.
VA-102P5-MD, VA-102P12-MD constitute optional components that can be
considered necessary and suitable as part of medical equipment or for use as part
of a medical system to provide real time simultaneous video feeds to those
present at the local medical environment and at remote locations. In this
environment, the VA-102P5-MD, VA-102P12-MD can be added to the system
ONLY if the connecting equipment has been evaluated and meets the IEC 606011-2 EMC standards. Note, that when attaching accessory devices to a digital or
analog interface, they must comply with the IEC standard for which they are used:
EMC Standard (IEC 60601-1-2), Information Technology equipment (IEC 60950-1
(2ed)).

3 Overview
VA-102P5-MD, VA-102P12-MD are 10-output power supplies used for powering
5V DC and 12V DC powered devices in a medical environment.
The VA-102P5-MD can supply a maximum of 1.8A of current to each of ten
devices for a total of 18A current.
The VA-102P12-MD can supply a maximum of 1A of current to each of ten
devices for a total of 10A current.
The power supply is especially useful in high-population installations for saving
space and eliminating a large number of stand-alone power adapters.

4 Connecting the Power Supplies
To connect the power supplies as illustrated in the example in Figure 3:
1. Connect the 5V DC outputs to up to five 5V DC devices and the 12V DC
outputs to up to five 12V DC devices. Pay attention to the maximum current.
2. Connect the AC power cord to the AC receptacle and turn ON the power to
the power supply.
Note: Figure 3 illustrates the connections for the VA-102P5-MD. The connections for
the VA-102P12-MD are the same except for 10 x 12V DC.
