ELECTRICAL POWER INSTALLATION
Electrical power may be applied by simply plugging the system transformer into a
nearby electrical outlet. If the system's environment has a history of, or has known
electrical power line disturbances, then use of a transient protection module, available
as on option from Microtel, is highly recommended.
If the unit is to be installed in a location where large or high voltage motors are in use,
a power line transient suppressor is also recommended to insure that the unit is not
affected by surges and spikes in the 120VAC power to the unit.
It is recommended that a separate circuit breaker be used with the system.
Remember that when the breaker is on, and the unit is plugged in, 12 vac is contained
within the system even though the system Power switch may be turned off. This is to
allow continued charging of the system's backup battery, even with the system in a
powered down state.
The internal system fuse is a 1 amp fuse (Littlefuse #312.001), or equivalent. WHEN
INSPECTING OR REPLACING THE FUSE, UNPLUG THE SYSTEM OR THROW
THE CIRCUIT BREAKER SUPPLYING POWER TO THE UNIT.
