Powering the Z90
Power Cables
The Z90 should be powered only from a battery cable or AC adapter supplied
and approved by Zylight for use with the Z90.
Input Voltage
The Z90’s input voltage is 7-24 Volts DC. Most types of professional batteries
used in the production industry fall into this range, including those rated at 12V,
13.2V, and 14.4V nominal output voltage.
Power Consumption
The powerful Z90 can draw up to 30 Watts at full power (2.5 Amps @ 12 Volts,
or 2.1 Amps @ 14.4 Volts). When powering the Z90 from a battery, be sure
your battery is rated to supply up to 30 Watts continuously.
Important Camera Power Note:
Always use the battery power socket closest
to your battery
, i.e. the D-Tap socket found on an Anton Bauer Gold Mount.
Many professional cameras have an on-board socket for powering a camera
light. These connectors are often rated for less than 30W, and do not deliver the
power required for normal Z90 operation.
Z90 Orientation
To ensure adequate heat dissipation, avoid operating the Z90 in a lens-down
position (below left). An angle of at least 30-degrees away from vertical is
necessary to effectively dissipate heat (below right).
!!! WARNING: The input voltage to the Z90 must remain below 24
Volts. Application of excessive voltage, or reverse polarity voltage, will
void the factory warranty and possibly cause damage to the Z90.
