Power Conditioner (optional)
Description
A UL ® -listed power conditioner should be used when there is an unstable source of power.
When used, the power conditioner helps provide clean power to the SC and other CFN devices
located near the SC. Poor power condition is a key cause for system malfunction or failure.
The power conditioner provides a transient and common mode of protection to the CFN
system, although it cannot totally compensate for extremely poor power conditions.
If present, the power conditioner should be used in place of the AC Surge Protector
Outlet Strip.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Location
The power conditioner should be located within 50 feet of the SC, but not in a hazardous
location. It must be located in an area protected from direct contact with the weather (typically
the system circuit breakers). The unit is designed for an operating temperature range of
0 to 104 °F.
Voltage Regulator/Backup Power Supply-UPS
Description
The voltage regulator/backup power supply protects line-operated equipment from low line
voltage (brownout) and total line power failure by providing emergency power almost
instantaneously. 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 helps in conditioning the power to the CFN system, it cannot totally compensate
for extremely poor power conditions.
Location
The voltage regulator/backup power supply should be located in an area protected from direct
contact with the weather (typically near the system circuit breakers) and should be located
within 50 feet of the CFN system for optimum protection. The unit is designed for an
operating temperature range of 0 to 50 °C.
