Hardware Installation
4.1.2. Connect the VMR or NPS to Your Power Supply
Refer to the cautions listed below and at the beginning of this User's Guide, and then
connect the VMR/NPS unit to an appropriate power supply.
Note: Some VMR/NPS units are shipped with one or two detachable 125 VAC,
15 Amp "Starter" Cables. These cable(s) will allow you to connect a 120 VAC
VMR/NPS unit to power for bench testing and initial start up and are adequate
for applications that only require 15 Amps. For higher amp power switching
applications, please refer to the WTI Power Cable Guide (which can be found
on the CDROM included with the unit) or use appropriate cables.
CAUTIONS:
• Before attempting to install this unit, please review the warnings and
cautions listed at the front of the user’s guide.
• This device should only be operated with the type of power source
indicated on the instrument nameplate. If you are not sure of the type of
power service available, please contact your local power company.
• Reliable earthing (grounding) of this unit must be maintained. Particular
attention should be given to supply connections when connecting to
power strips, rather than directly to the branch circuit.
4.2. Connection to Switched Outlets
Connect the power cord from your switched device to one of the AC Outlets on the VMR
or NPS unit. Note that when power is applied to the VMR or NPS, the AC Outlets will be
switched “ON” by default.
Note that some VMR and NPS models feature two separate power branches, while
others may feature only one power branch. Please refer to the table shown in Section 1
or Section 3.1 for more information regarding maximum power and load ratings for your
specific VMR or NPS model.
