INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing Applied Research and Technology’s ISO-8U.Two high-power outputs can provide 250mA. All other outputs are capable of providing up to 100mA. There is one variable voltage output to simulate worn batteries.Each output is individually current limited and short circuit protected. An Output status indicator goes out when there is a fault (i.e. short, current protection, or temp overload). A USB type A jack can provide high power charging up to 10Watts.The unit comes with a wide variety of cables to connect your pedals including battery clip adapters, large and small diameter power plugs, and “Y” for expanding the number of devices you can connect and even a polarity reversing cable.

FEATURES

• Eight Isolated DC Outputs
• One Adjustable Output
• Each Output Has a switchable voltage
• USB Power jack for high-speed charging
• Comes with multiple adaptor cords
• Runs off a Universal power supply
• Tie wrap slots for clean wire routing
• Perfect for powering guitar pedals, and pedalboards
• Designed and developed in the USA

INSTALLATION and OPERATION

Status LED’s

These LEDs remain lit as long as there are no electrical faults with the cabling or the pedal you are supplying power to. If a particular fault is seen at one of the outputs, the LED dims or turns off and the voltage at that output will diminish. The cable connection on the output with the fault will have to be removed and reconnected for the output to be reset.

SAG Voltage

To enable this function on voltage output1 the dip switch will need to be set to 4-9v. Then the user can vary the voltage from the pot on the unit face

APPLICATIONS

The ART ISO-8U is designed so that it can be mounted on a pedal base using Velcro. The front and sides are recessed to protect the cables and controls.The bottom edge of the ISO-8U has slots that allow you to use cable ties to control the routing of the power cables. Once you loosely insert the wire ties through the slots you can run the power cables through the remaining loops. Once all of the cables are in place, you can tighten down the wire ties.

Cable Choices

Powering your Pedals

The first step in using the ART ISO-8U to power your device would be to make sure that the pedal device you want to use can be powered by a dc supply. The range on the ART ISO-8U is 9 or 12vdc or combining to outputs to achieve 18 or 24vdc, remember that there is a max current draw on each output. Then verify the polarity of the pedal device you are wanting to power. Generally, 9V battery-powered devices will draw less than 100mA.The ART ISO-8U uses the negative center pin configuration. This will determine if you need to use the polarity reversal cable or one of the standard cables. This will allow you to use a pedal that has a positive center pin. Before you connect the cable from the unit, make sure you set the dipswitch to the appropriate voltage (9v or 12v).If you have a pedal device that does not have a power jack and is powered by a 9V battery, then you can use the cable that has the battery tab connector.There is a limitation on current loading, as this unit is not meant to run all of the outputs at their maximum current draw.
