TOOLS MENU - POWER SUPPLY
The Phoenix includes a digital power supply
app that allows you to use the tool to supply a
precise voltage level for specific applications.
Perhaps you’re working on an alarm panel,
mag lock or electronic keypad that uses a
voltage other than 9 volts.
A few important rules:
DO NOT connect to any system that is already powered.
DO NOT connect to any system with the polarity reversed (positive/negative flipped)
DO NOT exceed 2 Amps of output for more than a couple seconds or 1 Amp sustained
for more than 20 seconds.
Connecting
You may use the included JumpBox cable to
access the output of the adjustable Power
Supply. Depending upon interest level, Taylor
Technologies also plans to offer an alligator
clip adapter that snaps onto the JumpBox
cable’s 9V terminals.
Adjusting Output Level
Use the UP and DOWN arrows to adjust the target voltage as needed. Once the
voltage level is correctly set, tap the ON
or OFF
to enable or disable
power output on the JumpBox cable. The current amperage reading will be shown on
the right side of the screen along with the maximum amperage level measured. The
voltage level may be adjusted at any time even while power output is enabled. The
maximum available output voltage will be dependent upon the current internal battery
charge state.
