BL-PA100A/BL-PA100KTA 2.2. For Service Technician ICs and LSIs are vulnerable to static electricity. When replacing, the following precautions will help to prevent recurring malfunctions. 1. Cover the plastic parts with aluminum foil. 2. Use a conductive mat on the work-table.
*1 Results may vary depending on electrical conditions, network environment, and other factors. For information on how trans- mission speed is measured, access the Panasonic PLC Support Site at: http://panasonic.co.jp/pcc/products/en/plc/ *2 Using Linux FTP. *3 Performance may be affected as more adaptors are added to the network.
Because HD-PLC technology makes use of the existing electrical wiring in your home, there is no need to run cables between rooms. Easy to setup (for BL-PA100A) Simply plug your adaptors into a wall outlet, press the setup button to configure the adaptors, and you're ready to integrate your HD-PLC adaptors into your existing home network.
BL-PA100A/BL-PA100KTA 5 Technical Descriptions This power supply board uses the switching regulator method. [Input Circuit] The input current goes into the input rectifier circuit through both the fuse and the filter circuit. The filter circuit decreases the noise voltage and the noise electric field strength.

BL-PA100A/BL-PA100KTA [Over Current Limiter (O.C.L)] The highest drain current (IC801) is limited by a internal circuit of IC801. The +10.5V output is limited by this circuit. [Over Voltage Protection Circuit (O.V.P)] If the +10.5V output increases because the error detecting circuit is broken, The internal circuit of IC801 will recognize this sig- nal and output becomes 0V.
BL-PA100A/BL-PA100KTA 6 Location of Controls and Components 6.1. Main unit (1) PLC Indicator Lights to indicate that the adaptor is connected to the HD-PLC network. (2) LAN Indicator Lights when a LAN cable is connected to the adaptor, and flashes when data is being sent or received.
BL-PA100A/BL-PA100KTA 7 Operation Instructions 7.1. How does it work? Each HD-PLC adaptor has an AC cord that plugs into a wall outlet. This connection not only powers the adaptor, but also allows the adaptor to send data to and from the other adaptors in your home using your existing electrical wiring. Each adaptor also has a LAN jack, which connects each adaptor to your broadband router, hub, computer, network printer, network camera, etc.
BL-PA100A/BL-PA100KTA 7.2. Testing a terminal’s network speed Once you have connected the adaptors where you plan to use them, use the procedure below to test the speed of each termi- nal’s network connection to the master. Make sure that the terminal has already been registered to a master.
