Hi everyone. I'm still trying to find the specs on the ac adaptors that the nView z310/z350 panels use. I have searched far and wide for any information on these panels and it is very rare. If anyone owns either one of these you could help me out alot by finding out the voltages on the pins of the adapter.
I attached a pic of the power plug.
Thanks,
Lou

nview z350 power info
Hello, I hope this will help you. I have 2 z350's. The power supply is made by Bestec power electronics co. The model # is BPA-353-n.
INPUT - 100-240v 50/60Hz 1a-max
OUTPUT +5.9v/3a, +12v/1.55, -12v/0.27a
My power cord has the same connector that will fit into the outlet shown in your photo. It does not say what each specific prong on the plug is rated.
I do not have VGA adapter for my z350. I was hoping someone would be able to tell me the pin-out that will go from 3 rows of 5 to 2 rows with 7 and 8. The post in panel paranoia for a nview spectra c did not work for my z350. I noticed in the previous photo that the holes are numbered. I think I will try again using these as my guide. Hope my info helps you.

I have a nview Z310 panel. The manual is missing and I can not get this panel to work. Can one of you help with my setup? I have a 3M 9700 OHP. When I put this panel on OHP - I see no images. The controls seem to work and so does the audio and the remote. Just hoping that this would work!!!
Is there someone who still services these panels?

I sent an email to Bestec in taiwan
transport97 - thank you very much for the ac adapter information. I sent an email to Bestec Power Electronics in taiwan (hopefully the right company). Here's the info in case anyone needs it:
http://www.bestec.com.tw/e_default.asp
sales@bestec.com.tw
phone: 886-2-29990133
Perhaps they have the ac adapter data archived.
I haven't gotten as far as trying to make the VGA cable yet, since I can't even power the unit up.
Maybe insearch could to a continuity test on his/her z310 VGA cable for us.

insearch - a little more info
insearch,
Some basic stuff to start...
If you look through the panel while turning it on or connecting it the PC do you see any kind of an image at all?
Are you using the VGA cable that came with it?
Are you hooking it up to a laptop or a desktop PC?
If a laptop, are you sure you have activated the VGA out on your laptop. Laptops usually boot up with that off.
Also, transport97 and myself could use your help on determining the pinouts of the VGA cable. Do you have and know how to use a basic multimeter and do a simply continuity test on your VGA cable? If so it would be easy for you to determine the pinout configuration of the cable and let us know.
Thanks, we'll try to help you as much as we can.
p.s. Does your z350 ac adapter have the same information on it that transport97's does? as follows:
The power supply is made by Bestec power electronics co. The model # is BPA-353-n.
INPUT - 100-240v 50/60Hz 1a-max
OUTPUT +5.9v/3a, +12v/1.55, -12v/0.27a

I found this:

Two of the ac adapters from bestec shown in the pictures has the right kind of plug on it. Does your ac adapter look like one of these?

more leads on nView z310 z350 ac adapters
http://www.stontronics.co.uk/switchmodeadaptors5.html
on the web page look at model # BPA-353-1
their download catalog has it listed as SPU41-130-1
http://www.sunpower-uk.com/pitems/externaldesktop.htm
look at item BPA353 (18th item down in the page)
thanks to info provided by transport97 I was able to track down the above ac adapters that look like they are a match
although voltage on the 5V pin is 5V while what transport97 read to me was 5.9V
These are the closest ac adapters I can find and I suspect perhaps transport97 may have misread the 5.0V to be 5.9V or just typoed it on the keyboard.
I am sending email to both companies in the UK asking about pricing. I have not found any other sources for similar ac adapters yet but continue to search.

one more lead for nView z310 z350 ac adapter
http://www.astrodyne.com/astro/pdf/MPU50.pdf
take a look at model MPU50-302
It looks like a match, although they want $58.00 for it.
This PDF has a pinout diagram for the outputs.
Pinouts match the arrangement on the Sunpower adapter above.
Don't know the pinouts on the Stontronics adapter but I suspect it is the same.

another idea
I realize that most power supplies in regular old desktop PCs give out +5V / +12V / -12V, but at higher amperages than the nView ac adapter. For instance, I am lookign at a power supply from a small desktop that gives:
+5V/15A
+12V/3A
+3.3V/12A
+5VSB/1A
-12V/0.3A
Compared to the panel requirements of
+5V/3A
+12V/1.55A
-12V/0.27A
at least the voltages are available. But feeding 5V/15A to a device needing 5V/3A sounds risky to me. Is there anyone more savvy with amperage issues out there that can provide feedback about using a standard PC power supply to run the panel?

ATX power supply seems to work
OK, after learning a little about amperage I rigged up an ATX power supply to feed the z350 the proper voltages.
The nView fired up and here is all I got:
* the fan turned on.
* the speaker made a very low noise that sounded like it was turned on
* the red LED turned on
* the small LCD display panel in the keypad turned on and after a few seconds displayed "press any key" - pressing any key on the keypad did nothing
the green LED never lit
the LCD panel itself never seemed to do anything, no display, no logo, etc.
I do not have anything connected to the panel VGA port yet.
What is the typical startup sequence for a z310/z350 ? Is this typical? I would expect pressing a key on the keypad to do something.

nView ViewFrame Spectra help plz
nView ViewFrame Spectra
I have an nView ViewFrame Spectra and have no clue how to connect this to my computer. Do I need drivers. Does It connect to my video card. It has a 9 pin db connector for the video.
Plz help.

Luis you still around, do you still have the z350 that dosent work? I found a broke one locally and wanted to see if i can Jurry Rig a good one togeather.
so has anyone found an ac adapter for a nview z350 that works?
where did you get it?
thanks,
matthew

hi all
i am currently using a powersuply made from an old A.T. powersuply and keyboard plug it seems to work but there is a slight electrical interference. this however could be coz of my panel (z310) if anyone is interested i can post the pinouts and the wires to use .

nview Z350 Power Supply.
I posted separate thread too and posting here also because don't know which one will be picked in future some one needs this help.
I have two non working panels and need power supply and video cable if nview Spectra C is not working.

this is the plug with the voltages on the pins . the colour of the writing corresponds to the colour of the wire's you will find in the pc powersupply ,exept for the RTN which is black any AT powersupply will do.these wires are usually standard.if you have any probs i will help you as best as i can.good luck.
ps this works on my z310 . iam only assuming it is the same for the z350.
thanks all
