Wireless Set No. 52 Cdn - Input Power

[Bob Carriere]

Thanks guys.

Now I know that I can run the 42 and 19 on the CPP 2 power supply with no worries. I like Bruce's idea of using a good 12 volt bat. in parallel to handle the surge in demand.

Biggest challenge is negotiating a room in the house from the wife for the set up.

The ZE12 PSU was developed for use with the Remote 52-Set Receiver. I took a quick look in my 52-Set Manual and could not find a reference to the output amps for the ZE12. I assume it would be low, based on the draw for the receiver when in use.

Am I correct in assuming the ZE12 can only be used with the remote receiver, with the appropriate adapter cable that incorporates the large Marconi plug at the receiver end?

The ZE12 can only supply the receiver. If you look at the WS52 manual the actual main power supply consists of 2 motor generators and a vibrator supply.

One MG supplies 300 volts to the transmitter for low voltage circuits and the other MG supplies the plate voltage. The built in vibrator supplies the receiver.
When using the receiver as a remote you only need the vibrator equivalent hence the ZE12.
