Power Requirements
Circuit Tracks can be powered in any of three ways:
• from a computer with a USB 3.0 port, via the USB-C connection
• from AC mains, using the supplied AC adaptor and the USB-C connection
• from the internal lithium-ion battery.
Powering from a computer
Circuit Tracks can be powered from a computer or laptop via the USB connection. Use the supplied
cable to connect the unit to a Type ‘A’ USB port on the computer or laptop. The internal battery will
be charged while the unit is connected (provided that the computer or laptop itself is powered on).
Using the AC adaptor
The AC adaptor supplied with the unit is a 5 V DC, 2 A type with a Type ‘A’ USB output, and can
operate on mains voltages from 100 V to 240 V, 50 or 60 Hz. The adaptor has interchangeable slide-
in AC plug heads; different plug heads are supplied which make the adaptor compatible with AC
outlets in many different countries. Plug heads can be easily swapped if necessary by pressing the
spring-loaded semi-circular button in the centre of the adaptor and sliding the plug head upwards
to separate it from the adaptor body. Then slide in the correct plug head (as shown by the arrows),
ensuring that it locks firmly in place.
Use the supplied cable to connect the AC adaptor to the Type ‘C’ USB port on the rear panel of
Circuit Tracks (
