II. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Filter Installation:

a. Turn off the machine you are connecting to the

Filter, and unplug the machine’s power cord from wall outlet.

Éteignez la machine que vous connectez au filtre et débranchez de la prise murale le cordon d'alimentation de la machine.

Apague la máquina que intenta conectar al filtro y desconecte el cable de alimentación de la máquina del tomacorriente.

b. Connect Modem/Fax line: Connect a phone cord from the wall jack to the

“Modem/Fax” modular jack labeled “IN”, and then connect a second phone cord from the “Modem/Fax” modular jack labeled “OUT” to the machine/equipment to be protected. The EV-23010 and EV-23016 models do not support a Modem Fax telco port.

Please Note: The Filter only provides connectivity and protection for a single phone line.

c. Connect “10/100/1000 ETHERNET” network line: Connect a CAT6 network cable

from the wall jack to the “10/100/1000 ETHERNET” modular jack labeled “IN”, and connect a second CAT6 network cable from the “10/100/1000 ETHERNET” modular jack labeled “OUT” to the equipment to be protected.

One CAT6 network cable is included with the Filter.

d. Connect Equipment

i. Make sure that the total amperage of all equipment plugged into the Filter

does not exceed the maximum branch circuit rating. Assurez-vous que l'intensité totale de tous les appareils reliés au filtre ne

dépasse pas la tension maximale du circuit de dérivation. Asegúrese de que el amperaje total del equipo conectado al filtro no

supere la clasificación máxima del circuito de derivación.

ii. Connect the AC power cords of the equipment to be protected into the

short output power cord of the Filter or two convenience receptacles next to the short output power cord.

Please Note: Exceeding the branch circuit rating will cause the branch circuit breaker to trip.

User Manual

e. Connect Filter to Outlet: Plug the Filter input power cord into a properly grounded

and compatible branch circuit outlet. The plug is used as the disconnect device.

Please Note: Do not plug the Filter into a re-locatable power tap.

i. If the branch circuit outlet is correctly wired and the magnitude of the line

voltage is acceptable (between 105 and 140 V

RMS

for 120V products, or

between 190 and 260V

RMS

for 208-240V products), power will be connected to the outlets of the Filter and the Green “System On” LED will illuminate. Your equipment is now protected and installed correctly. You may now turn all connected equipment back on.

ii. If the branch circuit outlet is incorrectly wired, the Red ‘Wiring Fault” LED

will illuminate and the LCD will display specific wiring fault information. If this occurs, contact a licensed electrician to correct the outlet wiring. Refer to Section III: Hardware/EnVision PCS Filter, for LCD EVENT MONITOR display details.

iii. If neither “System On”, nor the “Wiring Fault” LED illuminates, there is

either no voltage at the receptacle or the magnitude of the line voltage is not acceptable (less than 105 V

RMS

or above 140 V

RMS

for 120V products,

or less than 190 V

RMS

or above 260 V

RMS

for 208-240V products). If the magnitude of the line voltage is not acceptable, specific information will be displayed on the LCD. If this occurs, contact a licensed electrician to trouble-shoot the abnormal voltage condition. Refer to Section III: Hardware/EnVision PCS Filter, for LCD EVENT MONITOR display details.

1. You may also need to verify that the Filter is operating properly.

To test, plug the Filter into a known properly functioning outlet. If the “System On” LED still does not illuminate in the functioning outlet, contact ESP at 1-800-

645-9721.

• Protection against short-circuits and earth faults shall be provided as part of the building installation.

• The socket-outlet shall be installed near

the equipment and shall be easily accessible.

• A dedicated Earth Ground (PE) wire is required in addition to line voltage.

ii. Wiring Fault

When connected to an incorrectly wired branch circuit outlet, in addition to the illumination of the Red LED, the LCD Event Monitor will display the following information:

iii. Abnormal Voltage

When the magnitude of the branch circuit outlet voltage is not acceptable*, the Filter will disconnect power to its outlets and display the following information on the LCD Event Monitor (*above the over-voltage shutdown threshold or below the under-voltage shutdown threshold; refer to Section IV: Diagnostic Software for more information):
