2 Installing the Equipment

2.1 Introduction

For best performance and reliability follow the instructions for site
requirements and installation in the Reference Guide and only use
installation accessories recommended by the manufacturers.

2.2 Operating Voltage

AC models are fitted with a wide-ranging power supply. It is suitable for
supply voltages of 100-120 Vac -10% +6% or 220-240 Vac -10% +6%
at 50/60 Hz nominal.

CAUTION

This product should be operated only from the type of power source
indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power
supply to your business, consult a qualified electrical engineer or your
local power company.

NOTE

Refer to the Reference Guide for details of the colour codes used on
the mains leads.

See Table 2.2 for fuse information and also the Reference Guide for a
full power supply specification.

2.3 Power Cable and Earthing

Check that the power cable is suitable for the country in which the
Encoder is to be used.

WARNINGS

1. The Technical Earth is not a Protective earth for electric s hock
protection.

2. This unit m ust be correctly earthed through the m o ulded plug
supplied. If the local mains supply does not have an earth
conductor do not connect the unit. Contact Customer Servi c es
for advice.

3. Before connecting the unit to the suppl y , c heck the supply
requirements in Annex B o f the Reference Guide.

2.4 Power Supply Stand-by Switch

This switch puts the Encoder into stand-by mode. It powers down the
supply rails of the display and internal circuits within the unit. The
switch type avoids accidental powering-down of the Encoder. For normal
use, using a screwdriver, ensure that the I is always at the top (see
Figure 2.1).

NOTES

1. This product should be operated only from the type of power
source indicated on the marking label.

2. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your
business, consult a qualified electrical engineer or your local
power company.

WARNING

This is NOT a mains switch and will not isolate the Encoder from the
power supply. Disconnect the power cord to isolate the unit.
