OVP PROFESSIONAL HQ Xtreme V3.0

Absolute novelty!
New OVP version fully developed in male DIN7 connector...a record of..madness :-)


  • Compact and record-breaking OVP
  • OVP without relay and based on semiconductors (very fast and safe)
  • Axel81l Team works constantly to improve its products and provide the best for all Commodore enthusiasts




PROFESSIONAL OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION FOR:

- C64 (all models)
- VIC20
- PLUS 4



This "Power Saver HQ" is different from ordinary protectors: it is professional. And it was created to protect all the Commodore power supplies according to the list.

The protection is complete, both for the 5VDC line but also for the 9VAC line. It is completely made of semiconductors with very fast intervention times 20us (microseconds!), no relay on board that would require long intervention times 200ms (milliseconds!).


What does it means this time value?
It means 10 time fasters then relay-based protections . This is the only way we can safely safeguard our Commodore vintage computer





5VDC MONITORING
In the event of an output voltage from the power supply greater than 5.35V / 5.4V, our "Power Saver HQ" intervenes to cut off the output voltage, protecting all the ICs on this chain, thus avoiding a rather expensive expense given the cost (6526A, 6510, PLA, RAM, ROM, etc.).


9VAC MONITORING
The alternating 9VAC line is monitored and protected by fast solid-state devices that limit any peaks of disturbances coming from the network as well as additional protection against abnormal absorption.

I remind you that from this line the power supplies for SID 6581 and VIC 6569 are also obtained as verifiable from the official Commodore documentation.

This "Power Saver HQ" therefore offers you protection both on the 5Vdc line and on the 9Vac line and also has two LEDs used to monitor the smooth operation of both the power supply and the Commodore





GREEN LED

  1. ON: All ok. Your Commodore is working has 5VDC under safety threshold
  2. OFF: There isn't 5VDC output from the "Power saver HQ " DIN male connector. (No 5VDC at the input of "Power saver".Check if your original power supply is connected and if it works)

RED LED

  1. OFF --> regular operation.All ok
  2. ON --> protection has occurred ... and your Commodore is SAFE! In this case we will notice that the green LED has also gone out, so we will no longer have 5Vdc output. At this point we will have to open the DIN7 male cover  to replace the protection fuse (Fuse 1.25A SMD). Please note that a soldering iron is reqired! 


COMMODORE PLUS 4 (DIN MALE INFORMATION)
According to 4 PIN square connector that is not available we can provide the "OVP Xtreme V3.0" with our DIN MALE 5pin square modified with +8€ extra.
