Voltage Regulator/Backup Power Supply
When the Series 1000 is being used for the resale of fuel, Weights and Measures regulations
require a backup power supply. The voltage regulator/backup power supply protects line-
operated equipment from low line voltage (brownout) and total line power failure by
providing virtually instant emergency power. The voltage regulator/backup power supply also
protects line-operated equipment from potentially dangerous voltage spikes coming in on the
commercial AC power. Although it does help to condition the power to the Series 1000, it
cannot totally compensate for extremely poor power conditions. The voltage regulator/backup
power supply must be located in an area protected from direct contact with weather (typically
near the system circuit breakers) and should be no further than 50 feet from the Series 1000
System for optimum protection. The unit is designed for an operating temperature range of
0° C to 40° C.
