SAM4s SPS-500 Series Overview

Power Requirements

Plug the SPS-500 into a grounded 3-prong outlet.

Be aware that other electrical devices on the same circuit can cause your ECR to malfunction. Avoid
plugging your ECR into outlets where other high-current devices are connected.

Be aware that power quality issues, including voltage fluctuations, electrical noise, spikes, outages,
interruptions, and other power viruses can disrupt or damage modern electronic equipment, including
ECRs and PCs.

When ECRs are interconnected in networks, connected to PCs or where communications cables
connect peripherals, particular care must be taken with power sources and communication cable
routing. Your authorized dealer can provide detailed power specifications for these applications.
Failure to implement installation requirements for networked systems may cause system failures
and/or poor system performance.

The SAM4s SPS-500 is a modern computerized network device. As with all network systems, it
requires appropriate electrical power wiring and proper routing of communication cabling for reliable
operation and maximizing the life of the equipment.

When installed in a merchant location, CRS recommends a PowerVar ABC065-11 power conditioner,
CRS P/N 701002. An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is recommended where frequent power
disruptions occur. Without a UPS, the SPS-500 will shut down and reboot when power is disrupted.
(The SPS-500 reboots in less than one minute.)
CRS also recommends:
1. Dedicated branch circuits for SPS-500 equipment.
2. Isolated Grounding for all equipment within the SPS-500 system.
Please refer to the SPS-500 Installation Guide for detailed power requirements.
