Installing the MV-5 and MV-10 Controllers
The Adept MV-5 and MV-10 controllers have auto-ranging power supplies that
operate at either 100-120 VAC or 200-240 VAC single phase.

Voltage Ranges
100V to 120V
200V to 240V
Power to the Adept MV controller and all amplifiers and motion devices must come from a
single source.

The maximum interruption time (operating voltage below specification) tolerated by the
controller is 16 milliseconds.
If the Adept MV Controller is used with an Adept robot, see the robot instruction
handbook for additional power requirements.
Facility Overvoltage Protection
The user must protect the controller from excessive overvoltage and voltage
spikes. In particular, if the country of installation requires a CE-certified
installation, or compliance with IEC 1131-2 or EN-61131-2, the following
information may be helpful.
IEC 1131-2 and EN-61131-2 require that the installation must ensure that category
II overvoltage (i.e., line spikes not directly due to lightning strikes) are not
exceeded. Transient overvoltage at the point of connection to the power source
shall be controlled not to exceed overvoltage category II, i.e., not higher than the
impulse voltage corresponding to the rated voltage for the basic insulation. The
user-supplied equipment or transient suppressor shall be capable of absorbing
the energy in the transient.
