1-6 Power supply
The AR8600 is designed for operation using a good quality regulated d.c. supply of 12
to 14V, which should be capable of supplying 1A. Never connect the AR8600 directly
to the a.c. supply.
The d.c. input socket uses a mini 2.1mm power connector. This connector is configured CENTRE
POSITIVE, the chassis of the receiver is at negative ground. If a power supply has been provided with
the AR8600 (depending upon world market area), it is pre-wired and provides a nominal 12V d.c. output
with suitable connectors being fitted as standard for the a.c. power input and connection to the AR8600.
&SAFETY NOTICE - Always disconnect the power supply from the a.c. socket when
not in use.
