Overview

The AC-DN1 functions as an AC adaptor and battery charger when attached to portable devices, such as digital Betacam camcorders.

The AC-DN1 has following features:

Maximum power supply of 38W DC

The AC-DN1 supplies a maximum of 38W to devices that use the BP-L60A/L90A Lithium-Ion Battery Pack, and a maximum of 16.8V, 2.26A to devices that use the NP-1B/1A or NP-90A/90 Nickel-Cadmium Battery Pack and with a maximum voltage rating of 17V.

Battery charging of about 85% capacity

The AC-DN1 can be used to charge a BP-L60A/L90A Lithium-Ion Battery Pack, attached using an optional BKW-L601/2 Battery Adaptor, to about 85% capacity.

Note

Operating a camcorder or other device while charging the battery with the AC-DN1 may cause excessive power consumption and overheating in the AC-DN1. Therefore, you should never charge a battery while using it to operate a device.

Battery backup

Should the AC power cord be accidentally unplugged from the AC power source, a charged BP-L60A/L90A Lithium-Ion Battery Pack attached to the AC-DN1 provides an alternate back-up power to the connected device.

90° rotatable AC IN connector

The AC IN connector is designed to be rotated up to 90^ to allow convenient orientation of the AC power cord.

Note

For information on changing the angle of the AC IN connector, please consult Sony service personnel.

Locations and Functions of Parts and Controls

① AC IN connector ② POWER indicator In this illustration, the connector cover has been removed. To remove the connector cover, remove the four screws. ③ DC output connector for battery charging (3-pin)

4 DC output connector (4-pin) 5 DC output connector (5-pin)

① AC IN connector

Connects to an AC power source through an optional AC power cord. The AC IN connector can be rotated up to 90° to obtain the most convenient orientation of the AC power cord.

Note

For details on rotating the AC IN connector, consult Sony service personnel.

② POWER indicator

The indicator lights up when the power is turned on. This indicator does not light up, however, when the BP-L60A/L90A Lithium Ion Battery Pack is used as the back-up power supply.

③ DC output connector for battery charging (3-pin)

Supplies power for charging a BP-L60A/L90A Lithium-Ion Battery Pack attached through an optional BKW-L601/2 Battery Adaptor.

The lower left pin is a sensor which blocks the charging current when a battery other than a Lithium-Ion Battery has been mistakenly attached.

④ DC output connector (4-pin)

Supplies DC power through the supplied DC power cord to portable devices except camcorders. As to the polarity of the connector pins, the outside is plus and the inside is minus.

⑤ DC output connector (5-pin)

Supplies DC power to digital Betacam camcorders such as the DVW-700/700P/DNW-7/7P, portable editors and field editors, connected directly to the AC-DN1.

When the AC-DN1 is attached to a Betacam SP camcorder, such as the BVW-300/300P/BVW-400/400P, through the optional BWW-L601 or BWW-L601/2 Battery Adaptor, DC power is supplied to the camcorder.

Notes

• You must use an optional BKW-L601/2 Battery Adaptor to connect a BP-L60A/L90A Lithium-Ion Battery Pack to the AC-DN1. The BKW-L601 Battery Adaptor cannot be used to attach the battery pack.
  •To attach the AC-DN1 to a Betacam SP camcorder, purchase the additional BKW-L601/2 Battery Adaptor.

Connecting the AC Power Cord

When connecting the supplied AC power cord (angle type) or an optional AC power cord (straight type) to the AC-DN1, secure the cord with the cord strap as shown below.

When operating a camcorder, using an optional straight type AC power cord is recommended.

Attaching to Betacam SP Camcorders

Attach the optional BKW-L601 or BKW-L601/2 Battery Adaptor to the Betacam SP camcorder as shown in the illustration below, then attach the AC-DN1 as you would to a digital Betacam camcorder (described on the preceding page). For details on detaching the battery case from a Betacam SP camcorder, refer to the operation manual for the BKW-L601 or BKW-L601/2.

Charging Batteries

Using an optional BKW-L601/2 Battery Adaptor, attach the BP-L60A/L90A Lithium-Ion Battery Pack as shown below.

To attach the BP-L60A/L90A Lithium-Ion Battery Pack

1 Remove the connector cover from the AC-DN1 if it is attached.
2 Attach the optional BKW-L601/2 Battery Adaptor to the AC-DN1.

Procedure

Plug in the AC power cord connected to the AC-DN1 into an AC power outlet. At a room temperature of 25 ^ ( 77 ^ ), the AC-DN1 will provide an 85% charge to a BP-L60A in about four hours, and to a BP-L90A in about six hours.

Notes

- When the AC-DN1 has charged the BP-L60A/L90A to about 85% capacity, all four indicators on the BP-L60A/L90A will light up.

•The actual charge level will not be shown on the indicators while the AC-DN1 is still attached to the battery. To check the charge level, you must first disconnect the battery from the AC-DN1.

- Never charge a battery with the AC-DN1 while the battery is being used to operate a video camera or other device. Doing so may cause excessive power consumption and overheating in the AC-DN1, or a malfunction in the device.
