information ready:
• Invoice number of shipper (see packing slip)
uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect against power failures.
Caution
Avoid UPS types that use ferroresonant technology. These UPS types can become
unstable with the switch, which can have substantial current draw fluctuations
because of fluctuating data traffic patterns.
both of the following:
• AC power supplies typically require at least a 15-A or 20-A AC circuit, 100 to 240 VAC, and a
frequency of 50 to 60 Hz.
Caution
To prevent loss of input power, ensure the total maximum loads on the circuits
supplying power to the switch are within the current ratings for the wiring and
breakers.
