Power Source/UPS Requirements
A stable power source is essential for reliable and uninterrupted operation. The Kollector is a rugged personal
computer (PC). It utilizes an industrial PC chassis with its own internal power supply. The power supply is
designed to support 110-240 VAC @ 50-60 Hz and its maximal power output is 500 W. Its nominal power
consumption is 350 W. The following is required when specifying the power source for the system:
1.
Use an electrical outlet that is dedicated to the Kollector and has a minimum rated circuit breaker of
120 VAC @ 15 A (230 VAC @ 10 A for international).
2.
Use an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) to protect the system from power instability. Line voltage
surges and lapses can cause stresses on the internal power supply that render it inoperable. A UPS
filters the voltage to keep it clean and regulated to the Kollector.
3.
Use a UPS that allows a few minutes of operation if the power source fails. A 1 KVA UPS, per
Kollector unit, that allows 5-8 minutes of operation, is required.
4.
For larger installations, such as the 8 Kollector rack outlined in this manual, a single UPS can be
used. For the 8-Kollector installation, a UPS with approximately 10 KVA capacity is recommended.
WARNING:
Vicon strongly requires the use of an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) in the electrical
power service. Failure to comply voids the warranty.
