Connecting the Mains Supply
Supply Requirements
ALWAYS observe the following instructions to ensure safe and reliable
operation of the VN-QUANTUM Processor:
WARNING: THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE GROUNDED / EARTHED.
NEVER connect the VN-QUANTUM Processor to a power point that does not have a ground or earth
connection.
ALWAYS ensure that the mains supply voltage is single phase only and is within the permitted range:
110V / 230V AC (13A / 6 A Max.) 50 – 60Hz.
NEVER connect this product to a D.C. supply.
DO NOT allow the mains power point to be overloaded. This is particularly important to check when
powering several items of equipment from a single power point (e.g. within rack-mounted
installations). Refer to the equipment rating plates or user documentation to establish power
requirements.
WARNING: To avoid the possible risk of electric shock or product damage due to condensation,
ALWAYS allow the VN-QUANTUM Processor to become acclimatized to ambient temperature and
humidity for at least thirty minutes BEFORE switching on. This is particularly important when moving
the unit from a cold to a warm location.
IMPORTANT: VN-QUANTUM features a ‘soft’ power switch. External power isolation must, therefore,
be provided within easy reach of the unit. For example, mains connection must be via a switched
power socket or power isolator located near to, and easily accessible from, the VN-QUANTUM card
frame.
