This manual provides essential information for the safe and efficient installation, operation, and maintenance of your Ccei 2x300W Power Supply Unit, model PIMT 37 Piccolo. Please read this manual thoroughly before installation and use, and keep it for future reference. This unit is designed to provide a 12V TBTS (Very Low Safety Voltage) power supply for two 300W projectors.
2. Safety Instructions
Always adhere to the following safety precautions to prevent injury or damage to the unit and connected equipment:
- Electrical Safety: Always disconnect the main power supply before performing any installation, maintenance, or cleaning procedures. Ensure proper grounding of the unit.
- Voltage Compatibility: The unit operates on a 230V/50Hz input. Ensure your electrical supply matches these requirements.
- Output Usage: This power supply is specifically designed for 12V TBTS projectors with a maximum load of 2x300W. Do not connect other types of equipment or exceed the specified power rating.
- Enclosure Integrity: Do not open the unit's enclosure unless explicitly instructed by Ccei technical support. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
- Environmental Protection (IP67): The unit has an IP67 protection rating, meaning it is protected against dust ingress and the effects of temporary immersion in water (up to 1 meter for 30 minutes). However, ensure all cable glands and connections are properly sealed during installation to maintain this rating. Avoid prolonged immersion or high-pressure water jets.

5. Operating Instructions
The Ccei PIMT 37 Piccolo features a simple operation:
- Power On: Once all connections are secure and verified, flip the single ON/OFF switch located on the unit to the 'ON' position. The connected projectors should receive power and activate according to their own operational sequence.
- Power Off: To turn off the projectors, flip the ON/OFF switch to the 'OFF' position. This will cut power to both connected projectors.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your power supply unit:
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior of the unit with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the casing or seals.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect all cables and connections for any signs of wear, damage, or corrosion. Ensure cable glands remain tight and sealed.
- Storage: If the unit is to be stored for an extended period, disconnect it from the power supply and store it in a dry, cool, and protected environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Ccei PIMT 37 Piccolo, refer to the following troubleshooting guide:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No power to projectors | Main power supply disconnected or off Unit's ON/OFF switch is off Loose or faulty connections | Check the main power source and circuit breaker. Ensure the ON/OFF switch is in the 'ON' position. Verify all input and output cable connections are secure. |
| Only one projector working | Faulty connection to the non-working projector Faulty projector | Check the 12V TBTS connection to the affected projector. Ensure correct polarity. Test the projector with another known working power source if possible. |
| Unit appears damaged or overheating | Overload Internal fault Environmental factors | Disconnect power immediately. Ensure total projector wattage does not exceed 2x300W. Contact Ccei technical support. |
