Pre-Installation
Information
Power Connections
The VRC2500 unit is designed to operate with a wide range of
voltages. It accepts an AC voltage input range of 100-240 VAC,
50/60 Hz, without the need to manually change settings. Power-
line swings and brownouts within this range have no effect on I/O
unit operation.
Surge Protection
Although the VRC2500 has built-in resistance to voltage changes,
we recommend that you use a power surge protector or line
conditioner on the incoming AC line. Lightning strikes and other
high surges in voltage levels will damage your VRC2500 system
and connected equipment if it is not properly protected.
Battery Backup
We recommend that you connect your VRC2500 to a battery
backup system. An I/O unit connected to battery backup will be
able to start a generator or take other steps to restore power to
your remote site. The VRC2500 will also be able to notify you of
the power outage by phone, pager, or data, depending on the
configuration of your system.
If you currently have the GSC3000 Lynx software on your
computer, do not install the VRC2500 software. You will be
prompted with a warning message (shown below) advising you
not to continue with the installation. Use the Lynx software to
connect to your VRC2500. The Lynx software will identify your
VRC2500 as a GSC3000 I/O 16 and a GSC Voice Interface.
