TimeFactor power help

[goodalibi]

Hi guys & girls.

I just bought a TimeFactor recently, and i've just added it to my main pedal board, but  because of the reverse polarity, i'm a litte confused as to what to do with it (yes, daft i know…)

My power is coming from a T-Rex Fuel tank Classic.

Obviously voltage-wise it makes sense to hook it into the blue line, any ideas on whether this will cause behaviour issues (with the pedal… not me…) or where i should look for an adaptor to reverse the polarity?

Any advice would be appreciated…

Dan.

Hi Dan,

You definitely need to use the correct polarity on the power plug. See specs below:

5.5 x 2.5mm barrel, tip positive.TimeFactor can operate from a 5W power source that supplies regulated 9 to 12VDC max.
The
minimum required power ranges from a maximum of 4.5W at power up (all
LEDs lit) to about 3.6W in normal operation depending on how many LEDs
are lit.

For a regulated 12VDC, the current requirement is 380mA at power up and 300mA in normal operation. Do not use unregulated 12V.

For a regulated 9VDC, the current requirement is 500 mA at power up and 400mA in normal operartion.

We recommend the Eventide PowerFactor for your stompbox power needs.
