Yamaha PW5000 User Manual

■

This connector is used to connect two PW5000 units in 
parallel. Two PW5000’s can be connected in this way to 
distribute the power load, thus reducing the load on each 
unit, and to ensure uninterrupted failsafe operation in the 
even that one unit shuts down.
Use only the optional PSL5000 Power Supply Link 
Cable for this connection. Rotate the connector ring to 
the left to connect, or to the right to disconnect.

Use this connector to connect the PW5000 to the 
PM5000 console. When using parallel-connected 
PW5000 units, this connector connects to the DC 
PARALLEL INPUT connector on the main PW5000 
unit. Always use the cable supplied with the PM5000 
console to connect the PW5000 to the console. 
A second PW5000 should be parallel-connected to the 
main PW5000 only using the optional PSL5000 Power 
Supply Link Cable. Rotate the connector ring to the left 
to connect, or to the right to disconnect.

For maximum safety be sure to securely attach a 
confirmed earth line to this terminal. An earth line is also 
included in the power supply cable, so the unit will be 
properly earthed if the AC outlet used is earthed. If the 
AC outlet is not earthed be sure to properly connect the 
EARTH terminal. Proper earthing not only ensures 
safety, but it also guarantees minimum noise from hum 
and interference.

Rack-mounting holes are provided near the rear 
edges of the side panels. When rack-mounting the 
PW5000, be sure to use mounting hardware that is 
the correct size for the rack, and attach securely at 
both the front and rear ends of the unit.
