Energizing
There is no power switch. The AC line input voltage is permitted to be between 90
and 260VAC, 50 or 60Hz. Power consumption is under 100VA.
Aggressive AC input filtering is utilized at the AC input of the Console BLADE3;
however, it is always advisable to use external surge protection and/or an uninterruptible
power supply (UPS), especially where AC power quality is questionable, such as at a
remote transmitter site.
Power conditioning, surge suppression, and even power backup devices are wise
investments when using sensitive modern electronic devices that use an internal computer.
Use of a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) is a good idea and will protect the
Console BLADE3 from short duration power interruptions which may cause it to reboot.
During boot up, audio is interrupted for approximately 40 seconds.
