2.5 Power Considerations
The following points should be taken into account before connecting power:
•
Both the standard single power supply and the optional redundant AC power supplies are auto-sensing which may
be operated on input voltages from 115 VAC to 230 VAC.
•
Measures must be taken during installation to route or arrange the power supply cords or wires to prevent physical
damage and to avoid the possibility of future damage occurring. The cords shall be installed and routed such that,
throughout it’s length, the cord and it’s points of connection are not strained in any way.
•
The unit AC power supply cords shall not be attached to a building surface, bundled with audio, video or RF coaxial
cables, nor run through walls, ceilings, floors and similar openings in the building structure.
•
An AC electrical power outlet of appropriate type and rating shall be provided near the location where the unit is
installed and easily accessible such that the provided power supply cords may be routed in an appropriate manner,
without the use of extension cords, between the receptacle and the chassis. Alternately, the chassis shall be installed
in close proximity to an existing AC electrical outlet such that the requirements of this paragraph are achieved.
•
The AC power input is a standard IEC cable with North American NEMA 5-15 grounded plug for 115 VAC. If it is
necessary to operate the product on 230 VAC, the installer must obtain IEC cords with a NEMA 6-15 grounded
plug for use in North America. If shipped outside of North America, the unit will be supplied with an IEC cord set
appropriate for the locale to which it is shipped.
•
When installing the equipment, it is the responsibility of the installer to determine that sufficient capacity is available
in the electrical circuit feeding the unit to avoid overloading the supply circuit. Each AC powered unit will require
power to be supplied from a properly grounded AC outlet. The installer shall determine that the AC power outlet, its
wiring and receptacle is in compliance with local and/or national electrical codes as applicable. The AC input power
requirement is constant over the range of input voltages. At higher input voltages, the current consumption is lower
than it is at lower voltages where the input current is higher.
•
For the redundant power supply option, either power module on its own can provide the required power safely if one
fails. To retain the redundancy feature, replace a failed power module as soon as possible. A power module failure
or the failure of the supply current or protection fuse will be indicated by an audible alarm within the power modules
and the green power status LED on the power module will be extinguished.
NOTE:
The power cords for
BOTH
power modules must be disconnected before attempting to
remove the power modules or otherwise servicing the unit.
•
Power module failure will be indicated by the GUI and the green status light on the module will no longer be lit. This
power module may be replaced by first disconnecting the AC power cord from the IEC input socket of BOTH power
modules, then release the module by pressing on the thumb latch at the top of each module. Extract the module and
replace with an identical replacement module only.
