Power Requirements

HP C3180A and C3181A DesignJet 200 and HP C3187A and C3188A DesignJet 220 plotters have self4adjusting power supplies and do not require a voltage selector or switch settings prior to use. The table below lists the power requirements for the plotters.

Power Requirements

Source Voltage Requirements:

Voltage

Max current (rms)

 

100 V ac

1.4 A

 

120 V ac

1.2 A

 

220 V ac

650 mA

 

240 V ac

600 mA

Frequency:

47-53 Hz and 57-63 Hz

Consumption:

140 watts maximum

 

The ac power outlet (mains) must have a protective

W A R N I N G

 

earth (ground) terminal. Serious shock hazard leading

 

to death or injury may result if the plotter is not

 

properly grounded.

The power cord supplied with the plotter should meet the plug requirements for the geographical area. However, different power cords (international options) are available. (Cable part numbers ' chapter 10.)

Choosing an Interface Cable

(Instructions ' User's Guide, chapter 1, w Choosing an interface cable.)

Serial (RS&232&C) Interface A short cable (less than 15 meters or 50 feet) is recommended for the RS42324C interface. A longer cable is permissible, provided the load capacitance does not exceed 2500 picofarads.

Parallel (Bi&Tronics/Centronics) Interface Use a short cable (less than 2 meters or 6.6 feet) for the parallel interface.

(Interface descriptions ' Service Manual, chapter 5, w Input/Output Interfaces.) (Pin specifications ' User's Guide, chapter 6, w Interface specifications.) (Cable part numbers ' Service Manual, chapter 10.)
