their original shipping containers in the same way they were originally shipped, and always store the
system in a dry environment when not in use.
3.2 Power Requirements
The 3100-P power requirements are 120–220 VAC, 50/60 Hz or a 12 to 15 VDC power supply. The input
voltage is auto sensing.
3.2.1 Use of an Uninterruptable Power Supply
The power source should be continuously free of high amplitude, high frequency transients, as this type
of interference could cause degraded performance or damage to the equipment. An uninterruptable
power supply (UPS) with power surge protection is recommended for powering the equipment.
However, whether or not a UPS is used, the power source should never be the same as that being used to
power electric motors, such as pumps and winches, on the survey vessel.
3.2.2 Changing to a Non-US Power Plug
An AC power cord is provided for connecting the 3100-P Portable Topside to a standard U.S. 3-pronged
outlet. For non-U.S. power outlets, you can modify this cord by cutting off the 3-pronged plug and
attaching the appropriate plug. Refer to Table 3-1 for connection information.
