INSTALLATION
The power supply in the VP-1000 is capable of operation from 100 ~ 240 VAC at 50 or 60 Hz. If you
have a choice between these two voltage ranges, use the higher voltage to minimize losses in the AC
cable.
Connect the supplied
DC Power Cable
between the VP-1000
OUTPUT
jack and the VL-1000
DC
48V IN
jack, and connect the supplied
Control
Cable
between the VP-1000
CONTROL
socket
and the VL-1000
CONTROL
socket.
Turn the Circut Breaker on the VP-1000 rear
panel
ON
, then turn the VP-1000
MAIN
switch
ON
to activate the power supply. Always turn the
VP-1000 Circut Breaker and
MAIN
switch on
before turning on the VL-1000
P
OWER
switch.
To assure long life of the components, a primary
consideration in setting up the VP-1000 is pro-
viding for adequate ventilation around the cabi-
net. The cooling system of the VP-1000 must be
free to draw cool air in at the bottom of the chas-
sis, and to expel warm air out of the rear panel.
Provide a few centimeters of space around each
side of the VP-1000. Avoid heating vents and
window locations that could expose the VP-1000
to excessive direct sunlight, especially in hot climates.
AC POWER CONNECTIONS
The VP-1000 Power Supply does not require any transformer re-wiring, nor any changing of a switch
position; the power supply will operate from either 230 or 120 Volt line voltages without configuration
changes.
However, the AC power cable/plug configuration
will
be somewhat different, depending on the coun-
try in which you purchased your power supply. In some countries, the VP-1000 is shipped with the
standard 230 Volt connector appropriate for your location. In those areas where there are multiple
230 Volt connectors in common use, the VP-1000 is shipped
without
the power connector; one may
be obtained at a local hardware or electrical supply store.
Pictorial diagrams of the common 230 and 120 Volt AC connectors in use are shown below. When
wiring your own connector, be absolutely certain to observe the proper polarity on the pin connec-
tions. Consult with an electrician if you have any doubts about your wiring!
Be sure that your house wiring is capable of sufficient current capacity on the 230 Volt circuit to be
used, especially if this circuit is shared with household appliances. It always is preferable to operate
the VP-1000 from a dedicated 230 Volt circuit with its own circuit breaker.
