IMG 1010 - Connecting AC Power

The IMG 1010 supports an AC power option to support domestic and international customers. The AC power module is located at the rear of the docking station. The AC receptacle connects to an internal power supply that supplies DC voltages to the motherboard. (12 VDC for IMG 1010)

 

Warnings/Cautions

  • Ensure the AC power module switch is set to O (Off) prior to connecting the IMG 1010 to the AC power source.

  • Do not ground the AC unit using the external grounding points located at the rear of the unit. These grounding points are for DC unit grounding only.

  • The power up sequence will only start when the tray is fully seated into the docking station, this ensures the main board does not power up until the system is properly seated.

  • If power needs to be removed from this product the power cord must be disconnected. The socket-outlet must be installed near equipment and easily accessible.

 

Connecting AC Power Cord

Complete the following steps to connect AC power to the chassis.

  • Plug the AC power cable into a grounded outlet.

  • Plug AC cable into the receptacle on the AC power module.

  • Insert other end into a grounded wall outlet, uninterruptible power supply (UPS), or surge protector.

  • Press switch on the AC power module to I (On).

 

Warning! Do not attempt to modify or use the supplied AC power cord if it is not the exact type required.

 

In some cases, the power cord supplied with this system may not be compatible with the AC wall outlet in your region. If this is true, you must obtain a suitable power cord that meets the following criteria:

  • The cord must be rated for use at the AC voltage available, with a current rating that is at least 125% of the current rating of the product (for current rating information, refer to the UL label affixed to the product).

  • The AC plug end must be terminated in a grounding-type male plug designed for use in your region. The plug ends must be labeled or marked to indicate they have been certified by an agency acceptable in your region.

  • The power service must be connected through a properly grounded outlet.

  • The connector at the product end must be an IEC 320, sheet C13, female connector (or the equivalent EN 60 320 connector).

  • The cord must be less than 14.8 feet (4.5 meters) long and, for use in Europe, be created with <HAR> (harmonized) or VDE certified cordage.

If power needs to be removed from this product, you must disconnect the power cord; therefore, the socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.

 

AC Power Module

The AC power docking station provides an AC input power module with an integrated fuse, power switch, and standard three position female AC input connector. This connector allows the docking station to interface with all variations of AC outlets by simply using a standard power cable with a compatible outlet plug. The figure below shows the AC Power Module.

 

When connecting the AC Power source, the cable has a third prong that is used for grounding the unit. It is not necessary to connect the Grounding lugs located on the rear of the unit to earth ground. Grounding the IMG 1010 through the AC plug is sufficient.

 

Other Considerations

Uninterruptible Power Supply Option

If your site has frequent power interruptions, consider using an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) for your IMG 1010. You can avoid downtime by running your system that receives its AC power from batteries during a power failure.

Surge Protection

It is advisable to install a surge protector between your call processing system and the power outlet. If a high voltage surge occurs on the power line, this device can protect your system by sending the overload to ground.
