AC Power
The GigBAR™ IRC has an internal auto-ranging power supply and it can work with an input
voltage range of 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz.
To determine the product’s power requirements (circuit breaker, power outlet, and wiring), use
the current value listed on the label affixed to the product’s back panel, or refer to
Technical
Specifications
in this manual. The listed current rating indicates the product’s average current
draw under normal conditions.
Always connect the product to a protected circuit (circuit breaker or fuse). Make sure the
product has an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of electrocution or fire.
Never connect the product to a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the
rheostat or dimmer channel serves only as a 0 to 100% switch.

Interlock
Connector
This product has a jack for a remote interlock switch that would shut off the laser output in case
of emergency. You may use the provided remote interlock connector to build your own interlock
switch.
Power Linking
Power linking is when products are daisy chained together through the power in and power out
plugs, allowing many products to be powered from one wall outlet.
Up to 29 GigBAR™ IRC products can be power linked at 230 V.
Do not power link more than 29 GigBAR™ IRC on 230 V.
