Power supply
The power supply is an external device that connects to the BCM50 units (see Figure 17). You
must have one power supply for each unit in your BCM50 system.
Figure 17 BCM50 power supply
A BCM50 power supply is included with each main unit and expansion unit.
In addition, international (non-North American) users require a power supply adapter cord for
each main unit and expansion unit.
Power supply adapter cord (international users)
The power supply adapter cord is for international (non-North American) BCM50 users. It
connects to the power supply on one end and to the (C-14) BCM50 power bar on the other end.
You require one power supply adapter cord for each power supply you want to connect to the
power bar.
