Mounting hardware
We’ve included all the needed hardware to mount the power supply on top or underneath a
Pedaltrain or Temple Audio pedalboard. You can of course also attach it to boards of other
brands. Look on CIOKS web site for more information and mounting guides.
Not included accessories
More Flex cables and Booster Flex
To power one pedal using one outlet you simply use a single suitable standard Flex cable and
that’s it. In case the plug type or length you need is not included with your unit there’s a big
selection of standard Flex cables to choose from and order them separately. In case of an odd
voltage or current requirement you might need one of the Special Flex cables available. Please
read more about these and how to use them on CIOKS web site or in the included Flex guide.
They really open up for even more versatility and flexibility in terms of what you can power
with your unit.

CIOKS DC10
Power Supply for Effect Pedals
User’s Manual
reversion 1.2 – March 2017
Introduction
Since 1991 the Danish company CIOKS has been providing guitar and bass players with
reliable power supplies dedicated for effect pedals. After our very first product CIOKS Baby
power supply was out in 1991, the Big John and Double Jack were launched in year 1995.
After a long break three more units were introduced in 2007 forming our Standard range of
dedicated power supplies for effect pedals. The big breakthrough came in year 2010 where
we’ve released the first products of the professional range with the DC10 as the most popular
product. CIOKS became global with distributors and dealers worldwide.

Overview
Front
On the front of the enclosure you’ll find 10 outlets of the power supply as RCA sockets which
all are centre positive. Correct polarity for the pedal is achieved by using the right Flex cable.
Top
CIOKS logo in the middle has a red LED placed in the middle of the letter ‘O’. Right after the
power supply is turned on, it states your power supply’s serial number by blinking the digits.
Then it goes into the temperature depending ‘breathing mode’ or just stays turned on
depending on its setting.
On top of the enclosure you see the output voltage and max. current rating of each isolated
outlet or section printed just above the outlet sockets. The top figure is the voltage and the DC
in the middle line tells you it’s a direct current outlet. The bottom figure states the maximum
current capability of each outlet in mA. Outlets with two possible voltage settings have both
values stated e.g. 9/12 or 12/15. Isolated sections with two outlets sharing the same GND have
one common figure for maximum current which can be put out from both outlets in the section.
