AC Line Conditioning

Aviom products are digital devices and as such are sensitive to sudden spikes

and drops in the AC line voltage. Changes in the line voltage from lightning,

power outages, etc. can sometimes damage electronic equipment.

To minimize the chance of damage to your equipment from sudden changes

in the AC line voltage, you may want to plug your equipment into a power

source that has surge and spike protection. Power outlet strips are available

with built‑in surge protection circuits that may help protect your equipment.

Other options for protection of your equipment include the use of an AC

line conditioner or a battery backup system (sometimes referred to as an

uninterruptible power supply, or UPS).

Power Supplies

Your Aviom product uses a DC power supply that has a two‑prong power

cord. The prongs on the power supply are identical, meaning that there is

no need to orient the plug in a specific direction in the power outlet. Some

products with two‑prong power cords have polarized plugs that can only be

inserted into an electrical outlet one way.

The power supply that is shipped with your Aviom product is a universal

switching type. It is capable of working with voltages from 90 to 240 volts AC.

This means that a separate power supply is not needed to use the products

with the AC power systems found in most countries. You should always use

the power supply that shipped with your product. When travelling, you may

need plug adapters to use the power supply with the AC outlet plug shape

variations in use throughout the world.

Should you need to replace the power supply that came with your product,

we recommend using only a power supply that meets the following

specifications.
