Instruction manual

Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Sima SUP-2 Universal Power Adapter. It
can power digital cameras and other portable electronic devices requiring 3.3 / 4.2 / 5.0
/ 6.5 / 8.4 or 9.5V DC power. The SUP-2 can also provide power for other devices. It is
fully regulated using high efficiency switching technology and features overload and
short circuit protection. The SUP-2 comes with seven connectors to fit different digital
cameras and other electronic devices. Additional connectors are available from Sima.
This package Includes:
1 AC adapter 7 Center pin positive connectors
1 12V car lighter cord 1 SUP-2 This Manual
Operation
1. Set the output voltage switch, as illustrated in Fig. 1, to
the desired output for your device. Choose from the
following settings: 3.3 / 4.2 / 5.0 / 6.5 / 8.4 or 9.5 V.
The SUP-2 comes with seven standard connectors. The
connectors allow you to match the size and polarity of
your device’s DC input jack. If your device requires other
types of connectors, contact Sima customer service at
800-345-7462.
The connectors supplied with the SUP-2 are all set in a
center pin positive alignment ( Fig. A) If your device
requires a center pin negative power source (Fig. B)
do not use this adapter. To determine the required
current and correct polarity for your device, refer to the
manufacturer’s instruction manual or specifications
2. Select the appropriate connector and attach it to the output socket at the end of the
output cord. The connectors are numbered as follows: 1, 2, 4, 5, 13, 14 & 17. To
identify the correct connector for your camera, see the list of digital cameras on the
reverse side of this sheet. If unsure, use the connector that fits the power jack of
your camera. The three-pin connectors are designed to fit into
the socket in only one position. Align the pins as shown at
right in Fig. 2. Do not force.
3. Insert the connector into the power jack on your portable device.
4. Plug either the AC adapter or the car cigarette lighter cord
into the SUP-2’s input power jack located at the top of the
unit. Note: Do not plug the AC adapter or car cord
directly into anything except the SUP-2. Next, plug the
AC adapter (or car cord) into a standard AC wall outlet (or
car lighter). The red power light on the SUP-2 should turn
on. You can now operate your device.
IMPORTANT: Your portable device must be rated between 3 - 10V DC and no more
than 2100 mA of current to use the SUP-2. If the exact voltage for your device is not
listed below and is less than 10V, you can try setting the voltage switch to the
nearest voltage – use the lower setting first. If the device does not operate, disconnect
the connector from the device, reset the voltage switch to the next higher setting
and re-connect. Do not continue trying higher settings as they may result in
damage to your device or the adapter.
The SUP-2’s current (mA) must be equal to or greater than the current your portable
device requires. Remember 1A = 1000mA, 0.5A = 500mA. Use the following chart
to determine the output current from the SUP-2:
Output Max. Output Max.
Voltage Current Voltage Current
3.3V = 2.1A 6.5V = 1.7A
4.2V = 2.0A 8.4V = 1.6A
5.0V = 1.9 A 9.5V = 1.5A
Resetting the Adapter
CAUTION: If the power light turns off, check the power source. If on, the output current may be
beyond the AC adapter’s specifications and the overload protection has been activated.
To reset the adapter:
1. Disconnect the AC adapter from the AC outlet and the device you are powering. Wait 10 seconds.
2. Plug the AC adapter into the AC outlet again. If the indicator remains off, there may be a problem
with the AC adapter. Contact Sima customer service for assistance.
