SciAps X-5 Power Adapter for Handheld XRF Analyzer

The SciAps X-5 power adapter provides continuous wall power for the SciAps X-5 handheld XRF analyzer and compatible battery charging equipment used in alloy identification, PMI inspection, and precious metals testing. The power adapter acts as a dedicated handheld XRF power supply for the SciAps X-5.

This adapter allows operators to run the analyzer directly from a power outlet when working at a bench, laboratory, office, or inspection station. It can also be used to supply power to the SciAps X-5 battery charger, allowing batteries to be charged from standard AC wall power.

Using a dedicated power adapter is useful for applications where the analyzer may be used for extended testing sessions or when batteries are being charged between field operations.

The power adapter includes the AC power supply and USA wall plug required to connect the analyzer or charger to a standard wall outlet.
