Input Voltage Selection

The power supply is set up for 230V AC input as shipped from 

the factory. For 115V AC applications, set the recessed 115/230 

input select switch located on the rear of the power supply 

into the proper position. Positions are identified on the switch. 

Use a small screwdriver to slide the switch into position.  No 

adjustment is necessary for either 50 or 60 Hz input.

Installation Instructions

1.  Unplug the power supply from the mains supply outlet.

2.  Select the correct input voltage (See Input Voltage 

Selection).

3. 

Connect  the  power  cable’s  positive  (red)  wire  to  the 

positive terminal and connect the negative (black) wire to 

the negative terminal on the back of the power supply.

4.  Plug the AC power cable into the power socket on the back 

of the radio.

5.  Plug the power supply into the main AC wall outlet.

Turning the Power Supply ON / OFF

Turn the power supply ON by pressing the power switch to the 

‘ON’ Position.

Before  you  turn  the  power  supply  OFF,  turn  the  radio  off  as 

described in the user documentation for the radio. Then turn 

the power supply off by pressing the power switch to the ’OFF’ 

Position.

Cooling

The  SS-30DV  power  supply  is  cooled  by  convection  and 

forced  air  cooling  (normal  airflow  around  the  power  supply 

in combination with a temperature controlled fan to improve 

cooling at higher levels of use). The fan is temperature activated 

and the speed is controlled by a sensor. When the temperature 

rises, the fan speed increases.
