Choosing a Power Supply
Consider these factors when choosing a power supply:
1. Input voltage: 19V to 30V DC or 19V to 27V AC RMS @47 to 63 Hz
In-rush current: 8A maximum, ≤25 ms.
(See Power Requirements on Page 1 for additional Encompass 6
requirements)
2. Operating temperature of power supply and power cable
3. Power cable gauge and length: 12 to 22 AWG cable, depending on
length of cable route

THREE FAULT INDICATION LEDs*
ERR3 ERR2 ERR1 FAILURE MODE
● ● ●
Microprocessor resetting
● ●
Power supply failure
●
● Transceiver failure
●
TDM/GPS failure
● ●
No communication with lane controller/host
●
Other failure
● Data in buer
No failure
*If multiple faults occur, the highest priority fault displays. For example, if the
microprocessor is resetting (highest priority) and the power supply fails (second
highest priority), the microprocessor fault indication displays until is it cleared.
