Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the power supply. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
- Storage: Store the unit in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
- Cable Care: Avoid bending or crimping the power cables excessively. Store them neatly to prevent damage.
- No User Serviceable Parts: Do not attempt to open the casing or perform any repairs yourself. This may void your warranty and could lead to electric shock.
Troubleshooting
- No Power to Pedals:
- Ensure the 18V 1A power adapter is correctly plugged into the power supply and a working wall outlet.
- Verify the power switch on the unit is in the "ON" position.
- Check that all DC cables connecting the power supply to your pedals are securely inserted.
- Confirm that the pedal itself is functional by testing it with an alternative power source if available.
- Unwanted Noise/Hum:
- Ensure each pedal is connected to an output that meets its voltage and current requirements. Overloading an output can cause noise.
- Check all audio and power cables for damage or loose connections.
- Test pedals individually to identify if a specific pedal is the source of the noise.
- While the outputs are isolated, external factors like poor grounding in your venue's electrical system can still introduce noise.
- Pedal Not Functioning Correctly:
- Re-check the pedal's power requirements (voltage and current) against the connected output. Incorrect power can cause malfunction.
- Ensure the pedal's polarity matches the power supply (standard is center-negative).
- If the issue persists, consult the pedal's own user manual or contact the pedal manufacturer.
