Axon 4000/8000 Electrical Power Requirements

This document is intended to assist you in computing the AC power requirements for your Axon and related equipment. This equipment must be powered by a dedicated electrical circuit. This is an AC branch circuit that is used to power only the Axon equipment. This circuit originates at the power entrance to the building. Sharing this circuit with other equipment will cause problems such as account corruption, and service interruptions.

Your Axon equipment must also be protected by high quality surge protector. Failing to provide surge protection will lead to equipment damage due to high voltage surges on the AC circuit.

We recommend that you power your Axon equipment from an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). This will allow you to operate for a limited time during periods of power outages. This document will allow you to compute the power rating of a UPS. The power hold up time (length of time the equipment will be powered until the AC service comes back on) should not be less than 30 minutes. It is wise to extend this hold up time..

It is possible to use this utility to record new ‘system’ prompts. Record the new system prompt into an unused account, and replace the original system prompt by copying or moving the newly recorded file.

Note:
(1) In the event of a power failure, turn as many of these items off as possible. This will extend the hold up time of your UPS.
(2) If you are not installing a UPS, this item does not need to be on the dedicated AC circuit.
(3) You will need to provide some room lighting for operator convenience. DO NOT depend upon your UPS for this lighting. The system is sensitive to the electrical noise generated by florescent lighting.
