Intended Use
This product is a power supply unit specifically designed for effect devices. Any use outside of the specified technical data and operating conditions is considered improper use. Palmer is not liable for damages or third-party damages to persons or property resulting from inappropriate use.
Product Suitability
This product is not suitable for:
- Persons (including children) with limited physical, sensory, or mental abilities, or lack of experience and knowledge.
- Children (children must be instructed not to play with the device).
Safety Instructions
Please read these instructions carefully. Keep all information and instructions in a safe place. Follow the instructions. Use the device only in the prescribed manner. Do not open the device or perform any modifications.
⚠️ CHOKING HAZARD! KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN! THE PRODUCT CONTAINS SMALL PARTS THAT CAN BE SWALLOWED AS WELL AS PACKAGING MATERIAL THAT CAN BE SWALLOWED! PLASTIC BAGS MUST BE KEPT OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN!
⚠️ CAUTION! Risk of damage due to reverse polarity! Ensure the polarity of the DC input of the effect device matches the polarity of the power supply's DC outputs (barrel positive, center negative). Connecting an effect device with reversed polarity can damage the device.
⚠️ CAUTION! Risk of damage due to overvoltage! Ensure the output voltage of the power supply matches the input voltage required by the effect device. Overvoltage can damage effect devices.
⚠️ CAUTION! Risk of damage due to DC voltage at the AC voltage input! Do not connect an effect device requiring AC voltage to this power supply. This could damage the effect device and/or the power supply.
The total current requirement of all connected effect devices must not exceed 2000 mA. If this limit is exceeded, a protective circuit will prevent damage to the power supply unit by switching off the DC voltage outputs. The device will return to normal operation approximately 2 seconds after the error is rectified.
Please Note
Some effect devices are designed to operate in a voltage range of 9 to 18 volts and offer more dynamics and headroom at a higher voltage. Be sure to read the user manual for your effect device to avoid damage.
? This device may only be used in dry rooms.
Introduction
The Palmer PWT08MK2 is a power supply unit featuring 8 isolated DC voltage outputs for supplying power to effect devices. The output voltage of outputs 7 and 8 is continuously adjustable from 6 to 18 volts. All DC voltage outputs are wired with the positive pole on the outside and the negative pole in the center.
Packaging Content
Remove the product from the packaging and all packaging material. Please check the completeness and integrity of the delivery and notify your distribution partner immediately after purchase if the delivery is not complete or is damaged.
The package contains:
- 1x PWT08MK2 power supply
- 1x PW18VDCUNI 18 volt / 2000 mA DC power supply
- 8x DC cable 60 cm
- 1 set of self-adhesive rubber feet
- User manual
Connections, Operating and Display Elements
The Palmer PWT08MK2 is a compact, black universal 8-outlet power supply unit designed for effect devices. It features multiple DC output jacks labeled 1 through 8, with specific voltage and current ratings indicated for different groups of outputs. The unit also includes a power input jack and status LEDs for each output.
1. Power Input
Orange-colored low-voltage socket for supplying power to the device. Please use the original power adapter only (included in the packaging content). The corresponding indicator LED lights up when the device is supplied with the correct voltage.
2. DC Outputs 1-6
Six isolated 9 V DC outputs with up to 300 mA output current each. All outputs have status LEDs. The corresponding LED is deactivated if no DC cable is connected to the output. The LED lights up green when a DC cable is plugged in and the device is functioning correctly. In case of a fault, the LED lights up red (e.g., short circuit, overcurrent, incorrect polarity). Once the fault has been rectified, the output can be used normally again.
3. DC Outputs 7 and 8
Two isolated DC voltage outputs with an output current of up to 500 mA each and potentiometers for adjusting the output voltage continuously from 6 V to 18 V. Always set the required voltage BEFORE connecting an effect device. Each of these two outputs has a status LED. The corresponding LED is deactivated if no DC cable is connected to the output. The LED lights up green when a DC cable is plugged in and the device is functioning correctly. In case of a fault, the LED lights up red (e.g., short circuit, overcurrent, incorrect polarity). Once the fault has been rectified, the output can be used normally again.
4. Mounting Holes
The housing of the power supply has mounting holes in the base plate for secure attachment to a pedalboard or similar setup (e.g., with cable ties).
