PowerWafer Camera Adaptor
The CopperHead Camera Unit can be powered by the optional "PowerWafer" Camera
Adaptor. The PowerWafer replaces the local camera battery and any local AC power supply
adaptor. The PowerWafer gets its power from the use hybrid fiber cable and the
CopperHead Base Station equipped with the internal power supply or from the MPS
external power supply.
Up to 95 watts of power can be delivered to the camera, Camera Unit and camera powered
accessories. Up to 780 feet (240 meters) of cable can be used when Camera Unit is powered
directly from Base Station.
The use of an external power supply can extend Base Station to Camera range and increase
camera power flexibility. The MPS "Throw Down" device or Wafer Power Adaptor provides
this functionality. This unit is described in
MPS External PowerWafer Power Supply
The PowerWafer replaces the battery or local battery mountable AC adaptor (shown with
the Anton/Bauer "Gold Mount" option).
• 1: Heat Sink
• 2: Battery Mounting Plate (Anton/Bauer Gold Mont or "V-Mount")
• 3: Power Input Connector
High voltage power is carried from Base Station to Camera Unit. A short jumper cable
(CH3CP-INF-2FAG) carries the high voltage power from Camera Unit to the PowerWafer's
power input connector, where it is converted to 12VDC power. The 12VDC power is
delivered back to the camera via the battery mounting plate.
