Electrical Requirements and Safety
Power supplied to the system must be from dedicated, uninterrupted sources.
Power must be free of voltage dropouts, transient spikes, frequency shifts, and other
line disturbances that impair reliable performance.
If you suspect power quality problems at your site, or if your system will be installed
in a heavy industrial environment, we recommend a power quality audit before
installation. Contact us or your local electrical authority for more information.
Grounding
Power Cords
Be sure to use an appropriate grounded power cord for your electrical service. If the
power cord received is not appropriate for the electrical system in your location, or if
the power cord becomes damaged,
contact us.
