Audioroot eSMART K-ART

Description

Audioroot eSMART K-ART is a low footprint power distribution box with a total of 16 direct DC power outputs and 4 x USB 5V ground isolated outputs. The K-ART includes 10 led illuminated power switches, a main power switch and 2 battery fuel gauges. Like it’s little brother eSMART BG-DU the K-ART is fully compatible with any type of battery ranging from 9 to 18V. When used with our eSMART batteries the K-ART provides full battery informations without any calibration routine.

This product was designed for use on small to medium size location sound carts. The power distributor can be connected to 2 batteries at once. The 2 batteries will discharge simultaneously thru an integrated ideal diode. These batteries can be of any type of chemistry (SLA, NI-MH or LI-ION) and the 2 fuel gauges provide all the informations required to monitor the batteries state of charge (voltage, current, power, etc.).

The eSMART K-ART uses internal coulomb counters and a calibration routine to measure each battery’s true capacity and display it’s remaining capacity in real time. This power distributor is also fully compatible with our full line of Li-XXwh smart batteries. When plugging an AUDIOROOT eSMART battery to the K-ART the user will have access to all the battery’s information without the need to perform any type of calibration.

The K-ART can handle standard (non smbus) batteries from other manufacturers up to 40Ah. A special version capable of handling batteries up to 200Ah can be delivered upon request.

Features:

10 switchable DC power paths via led illuminated push button switches (on/off state of each switch is stored and recalled automatically on each power up)

1 main power illuminated push button switch

12 x HRS 4 DC power outputs (2 on the front, 10 on the rear of the unit, all Hirose outputs are switched on and off by pairs)

4 x XLR 4 DC power outputs (1 on the front, 3 on the rear of the unit). Each XLR 4 output has it’s own power switch

4 ground isolated USB ports (allways on). 2 outputs are located on the front of the unit and 2 outputs are located on the rear of the unit. The K-ART can source up to a total of 3Amps on the 4 USB ports

Real time SOC battery monitoring: remaining capacity (%), run time estimation, battery voltage, power consumption, power and coulomb counter

Polyswitch 2.5A resetable fuses on each Hirose output

Polyswitch 4.0A resetable fuses on each XLR4 output

Polyswitch 8.0A resetable fuses on each battery input

A blinking LED for each battery indicates when the battery capacity falls below 10 %

Compatible with any battery ranging from 9 to 18V DC

Lightweight aluminum anodized enclosure
