About bebob Hot Swap Adapter for V-Mount Cameras

A robust and reliable solution for your V-Mount camera needs, the Hot Swap Adapter is designed to extend the life of your bebob batteries. This innovative device offers an easy re-celling process, ensuring your equipment remains functional and efficient for years to come.

The ML-120V/V Hot Swap Adapter is equipped with a self-charging feature, drawing power directly from the V-Mount battery. Whether it's the first charge or a recharge from a completely drained state, the ML-120V/V will be operational within 60 minutes. During the charging process, a yellow LED light indicates that charging is in progress, while a green LED light signals when the battery is fully charged. This intelligent device also monitors the battery voltage during charging and is prepared to switch power sources if necessary.

The ML-120V/V Hot Swap Adapter is designed to detect when a battery's voltage drops below 12.5V, at which point it immediately takes over powering the ARRI Alexa and the D-Tap port for up to 2 minutes. A red LED alarm is displayed during this process, flashing for the first 90 seconds and then remaining solid for the final 30 seconds. Once a fully charged battery is installed, the power supply to the ARRI Alexa instantly reverts back to the V-Mount battery. This device can switch power sources up to six times before running out of power. If a depleted battery is not replaced within the 2-minute window, both the ML-120V/V and the ARRI Alexa will power down.

To ensure visibility in various lighting conditions, the ML-120V/V Hot Swap Adapter features an automatic brightness adjust feature. The alarm LED's brightness adjusts according to the surrounding light conditions, ensuring it's visible in bright sunlight and not overly bright in darker studio settings. The light detector is conveniently located at the top-middle of the ML-120 housing. If you prefer a constant brightness level, simply cover the housing to disable the automatic brightness adjust feature, and the alarm LED will flash at its minimum brightness.

In conclusion, the Hot Swap Adapter for V-Mount Cameras is a smart, efficient, and user-friendly device that ensures your camera operations run smoothly and uninterrupted.
