1 Installation and Usage
1.1 Description
This installation guide explains how to install and use the USB-based VLT® Mains-Free Interface.
1.2 Item Supplied
•
VLT® Mains-Free Interface (code number: 132B9222)
1.3 Product Overview
Illustration 1: VLT® Mains-Free Interface
The connection between the VLT® Mains-Free Interface and a PC is based on a USB 2.0 interface. A Mini-B USB connector is located
on the front side, and a standard drive connector is located on the back side.
Both VLT® Mains-Free Interface and the drive get current from the PC USB ports, thus the drive is mains free when the VLT® MainsFree Interface is installed on the drive.
•
For drives of enclosure size H1–H5 and I2–I4, the required current is within the standard capability of a single USB port, and a
single USB type A connector can be used.
•
For drives of enclosure size H6–H10 and I6–I8, more than 500 mA current is required (500 mA is the maximum standard current
a USB port can deliver). It is recommended to use a double USB type A cable for connection to a PC. It is possible for the drive to
obtain the required current via both of the USB ports (the 2nd USB port is marked with Auxiliary power only).
See
Illustration 2 for the recommended cable examples.
