This Apollo400 Watt Power Supply is designed to run 24 x 7 for several years on the ColecoADAM computer system. Computers last longer when turned on and ran 24 x 7 at aconstant temperature. The MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) rating on thispower supply is 100,000 hours. Which means this power supply when connected toa good quality UPS or surge protector has the potential to last over 10 years. This power supply comes with a one-yearrepair or replacement warranty.

This Apollo400 Watt ADAM Computer Memory Console Power Supply is designed to operateanywhere in the world between 88-264 volts and between 47-63Hz (somewherebetween 100-240 volts at 50/60Hz is common). One just connects the style ofpower cord they need and flips the input voltage switch on the Apollo power supplyto either 115 volts or 230 volts. There is also an on/off power switch on thepower supply that makes it easy for ADAM owners to turn their computer systemon and off. When the power supply is on and running there are two very lownoise fans that run to keep the power supply cool (the fans are automaticvariable speed based on the internal temperature of the power supply). There isone fan in the front and one fan on the rear of the power supply.

This Apollo400 Watt Power Supply for the ADAM computer was designed to operate in room temperaturesbetween 0 degrees Celsius to 50 degrees Celsius (between 32 degrees Fahrenheitto 122 degrees Fahrenheit). Power supply storage and shipping temperature isbetween -20 degrees Celsius and +80 degrees Celsius (between -4 degreesFahrenheit to +176 degrees Fahrenheit).

Located onthe ADAM Memory Console Power Supply is a high quality official Coleco ADAM DB9cord that plugs into the left side of the ADAM Memory Console (Coleco cordlength is around 5.5 feet). This Coleco cord provides both power to the ADAM MemoryConsole while at the same time providing a ADAMNET communication link. The reason for the limited run of 27 powersupplies is because this official Coleco ADAM DB9 power cord is no longer inproduction. Once these 27 power supplies are sold there well most likely neverbe anymore made. Another issue is that all or most ATX style power suppliesno longer offer the -5 volts DC feature which makes it very difficult to findpower supplies that are compatible with the Coleco ADAM wire harness.

This ADAM MemoryConsole Power Supply also allows one to connect their original Coleco ADAMPrinter over an ADAMNET DB9 connection. Connected to the ADAM Power Supply is ahigh quality 100% foil shielded 28 gauge DB9 cable that is labeled “PRINTER”.This DB9 printer cable has 9 Gold Plated pins (cord length around 2.5 feet).This Apollo Power Supply for the ADAM computer only powers the ADAM MemoryConsole and well not power the ADAM printer. Before using the ADAM printer oneneeds to turn the power on the printer and then pull the Memory Console resetso that ADAMNET sees the Coleco ADAM printer attached. One very nice feature ofthis ADAM Memory Console Power Supply is that it removes the bug where the ADAMprinter carriage return advances one space when the computer Memory Consolereset is pulled. Normally what would happen is that when the ADAM printer waspowering the ADAM computer, the paper in the printer would advance one lineeach time the computer Memory Console was reset. This resulted in the paperbeing ejected from the ADAM printer after several Memory Console resets. This bug is fixed with the ADAMprinter no longer advancing the paper in the printer one line when the ADAMMemory Console is reset. In addition, the ADAM printer runscooler since now the printer power supply only powers the actual printer andnot the entire ADAM Memory Console. The power to the printer only needs to beturned on when one actually plans on printing.

*** As a bonus a 2 Port ADAMNET HUB with 7feet connection cable is included when one purchases this 400 Watt ADAM PowerSupply. ***

The Apollo400 Watt Power Supply has received several safety certifications and/or approvals: FCCcertified for Home and Office, cUL, UL, TUV, CB, and CE.
