20-AMP SWITCHING DC POWER SUPPLY

www.pyramidcaraudio.com

FEATURES

Your PYRAMID Heavy-Duty 20-Amp Switching DC Power Supply is designed to
use AC power-to-power equipment that requires 12V DC automotive power.
The power supply converts standard 120V AC household power to 13.8V DC
power and can supply up to 20 amps of continuous power.

Note: Your vehicle's electrical system provides 13.8 Volts when the

engine is running.

If you are an electronic hobbyist or technician, you will appreciate the many uses
for the power supply at your workbench or in your house.
For example, use your CB mobile transceiver as a bass station, check the
operation of auto sound systems before you install them in your vehicle, or even
power marine equipment such as pumps.

Your power supply's features include:

Regulated Output Voltage-Makes it safe to use with mobile CBs, Ham radios, CD
players, tape players or anything you would power with a vehicle's DC electrical
system.

Cooling and Fan Control-a temperature controlled fan has been provided to
improve cooling at high loads. The fan is controlled by a sensor mounted on the
power transformer. The fan will be off at lower loads.

It will come on only when the temperature of the power transformer is above 50 ºC

due to higher loads. In case the fan fails or the air flow is blocked, a second
temperature sensor mounted on the power transformer will activate over
temperature shut down at 100 ºC. The output voltage will be automatically
resumed once the unit cools down.
Electronic Overload Protection-automatically shuts off standard 120V AC input
power to the power supply when its output is overloaded.

Overheat Protection Circuit-automatically shuts off if it overheats.
Combo Output Connectors-act as both binding posts and banana plug terminals.

Not recommended for outdoor use.
