(2) When the Q6B or QA1S6B is connected between the main base unit and
the Q5B or QA1S5B
(a) Selection condition
4.75VDC or higher must be supplied to the "IN" connector of the Q5B or QA1S5B in the final extension
base.
(b) How to calculate voltage to "IN" connector
The 5VDC output voltage of the power supply module on the main base unit is set to at least 4.90VDC.
Therefore, the Q5B or QA1S5B can be used if the voltage drop at the extension cable is 0.15VDC or lower
(4.9VDC - 4.75VDC = 0.15VDC).

The voltage supplied to the "IN" connector of the Q5B or QA1S5B reaches 4.75 VDC or higher on the condition
that the voltage drop (V) at the extension cable between the main base unit and Q5B or QA1S5B is 0.15 VDC or
lower.
