NSTALLATION
The ViVid is designed to run from a single phase power source with one of its current
carrying conductors at or near earth ground potential (the neutral conductor). Only the line
(live) conductor is fused for over-current protection. Systems that have both current carrying
conductors live with respect to ground , such as phase-to-phase in multi-phase systems are
not recommended as power sources.
It is recommended that both the ViVid and its peripheral equipment are connected to the
same electrical supply or ring main which ideally should be regulated and smoothed. If the
power source is likely to be unexpectedly cut then both the units should be fed from a backed
up power source such as a UPS.
Mains connections should be fitted with the appropriate type of plug. See Section
“Mains
Plugs & Power Cords”
at the front of this manual.
