PWS-RUGGED is the evolution of the Power Station family, designed for field productions.
This useful device integrate and combines the power of up to 4 V-Lock batteries into a unique source and provides 3 different ouputs over 6 XLR connectors:
2x 14V, XLR-4 pin
2x 28V, XLR-3 pin
2x 48V, XLR-3 pin
While the 14V output is always available, the 28V-48V are alternative and user selectable through a switch.
An additional double USB outlet is provided inside the case for convenience to recharge small production equipment. PWS-RUGGED is constructed inside a lightweight, waterproof, unbreakable case, with a double-hinged locking system and a soft grip handle for field comfort. PWS-RUGGED is the evolution of the Power Station family, designed for field productions.
PWS-RUGGED also includes 4 independent 65W chargers: when AC is connected the installed batteries are charged accordingly with the system continuing to release DC power as requested. In this way PWS-RUGGED may also act as a powerful UPS system, since a sudden cut of the AC input will not affect the DC output that remains sustained by the batteries installed.
The BLUESHAPE power station concept is a convenient system to integrate the power of multiple V-lock batteries into a unique source that can be tapped anywhere anytime in a simultaneous dual voltage output.
The 4 available outputs, 2 at 14V (4-pins XLR) and 2 at 48V (3-pins XLR) operate in parallel an share the avaialble power in input: the output power is available simultaneously from all ports.
Due to the highly efficient internal electronics, over the 92% when delivering higher loads, the system remains cool even after hours of operation for a safe and prolonged system reliability.
Depending on which batteries are installed, the quad system can supply power as follows:
Installing 4x BV batteries, HD models (high drain):
up to 340W on the 14V output
up tp 560W on the 48V output
Installing 4x standard BV batteries (normal discharge):
up to 280W on the 14V output
up tp 480W on the 48V output
Batteries are hot-swappable to keep providing constant power without interruption, even when a battery becomes empty and needs replacement (if the remaining batteries are capable to compensate and deliver more current).
