Battery Options

The Sumo19 can be powered by V-Lock / Anton Bauer batteries via the XLR terminal (optional mounting plates available). Like all batteries, you will need to take care of them. Make sure that you don’t short circuit the connections because this can result in very high currents that can damage the cells and could pose a fire hazard.

Charge new batteries before using them, using the battery charger supplied by the manufacturer.

Before any type of disposal the battery should be discharged completely. Tape the contact swith electrical tape and package so as to prevent contacts accidentally coming together at any time.

Incineration must be performed by an approved and permitted waste treatment facility that handles lithium ion batteries. If you are not sure if your waste facility can handle lithium ion batteries, contact them and verify if they are permitted or not.

DC Power

Once the Sumo19 is switched on, it will operate from your external

DC power source if available, if no DC power source is present, then the battery will become the primary power source if it connected by the

XLR terminal. The battery will work as redundant power if DC power is disconnected.

Continuous Power

The Sumo19 features an Atomos technology called Continuous Power which uses battery looping technology for uninterrupted switching between power sources during use.

The Sumo19 may be powered from NiMH & Li Ion 14.4V battery systems via the XLR terminal for V-Lock / Anton Bauer batteries.

The power button is located on the rear panel just above the SDI connectors. Momentarily press the circular button on the top right side of the Sumo19 as you look at the screen to power up the unit. After a couple of seconds you will see the Atomos logo, and then the Sumo19 Home Screen.

Turning OFF power to the Sumo19

To turn the unit off, touch menu on the home screen, and then press the red Power off icon for 3 seconds the icon will go white when touched to indicate activation of the button. The unit will then power off. You can also do a forced power down by depressingtheon/offbuttonforthreeseconds.

Three seconds can seem like a long time! We’ve made it this way to make absolutely certain that the Sumo19 can’t be turned off accidentally.
