AC Power Environment

The OmniaONE subsystem is a DSP-based microcomputer, and therefore requires reasonably clean AC power environment just as any modern computer system does. And even though the OmniaONE power supply is equipped with robust AC transient suppression, we recommend that external transient suppression and/or an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) be employed.

At transmitter sites there can be heavy transients on the power lines as well as significant surges introduced into the power system by frequent lighting strikes. These are unwelcome power line events and can damage even the most robust equipment. Therefore you should give the AC power environment and installation practices thorough consideration before plugging in the OmniaONE (or any other microcomputer-based equipment).

A White Paper by one of our Support Engineers can be found on the Telos Systems website at the URL listed below. It details proper grounding and contains links to some surge suppression products for both the power mains and the often-neglected telephone, Ethernet and ISDN line connections that can (and do) conduct powerful surges into the equipment.
