3. Ports Description
Six 12V DC power output ports with independent switchesOne 3V-12V DC adjustable portDC power port adopts gold plating processTerrans PowerBoxPro V2 is equipped with: ◾ Six DC 12V power output port with independent switches, each equipped with an independent power management chip to protect the safety of electrical equipment. Each port supports a maximum current output of 8A. ◾ One 3V-12V DC adjustable output port, voltage can be adjusted at 0.2V per step. This port supports a maximum output of 4A current and can provide power for devices with voltage adjustment needs such as heating belts and flat field boards. It can also be used as a 12V power supply port. ◾ One 19V NUC power supply port, which can provide power to NUC that require 19V power supply and can independently control switches. This port only supports computers to run at low power consumption, meeting the requirements of shooting tasks. It does not support running high power tasks such as post-processing on computers. |
Four USB3.1 SuperSpeed ports with independent switches and plug-drop controlsTwo USB 2.0 ports with independent switches and plug-drop controls◾ Each USB port of Terrans PowerBoxPro V2 supports independent remote plug-drop controls and power switch, and each USB port can support up to 2A current output. In the remote observatory station, when the connected device shows no response or abnormality, software can be used to quickly reset the faulty device. ◾ We have equipped each USB port with an imported data management chip from Texas Instruments, which enables complete physical disconnection of USB 3.1 and USB 2.0 data lines, enabling the actual insertion and removal of USB devices. |

|
Input voltage |
◾ Rated input voltage 12V ◾ When the input voltage is greater than 14V or less than 10V, the device will disable all power outputs and pop up an alarm |
|
Input current |
◾ Maximum input current 15A ◾ When the input voltage is 12V, the maximum output power is 180W |
|
12V DC output |
◾ Each 12V output port supports independent switches ◾ Single 12V output port can support a maximum output current of 8A, ◾ Power supply output slow start, limiting large currents or voltage surges ◾ Short circuit protection. When a 12V port experiences a short circuit, the power management chip of that port will immediately cut off the power output without affecting the normal power supply of other ports. |
