Connecting the Power

Vmux-2100 includes two hot-swappable AC or DC power supplies, supporting load sharing. To connect Vmux-2100 to the power source, refer to the appropriate section below, depending on your version of the unit (AC or DC).

Before switching on this unit and connecting or disconnecting any other cable, the protective earth terminals of this unit must be connected to the protective

ground conductor of the mains (AC or DC) power cord. If you are using an Warning extension cord (power cable) make sure it is grounded as well.

Any interruption of the protective (grounding) conductor (inside or outside the instrument) or disconnecting of the protective earth terminal can make this unit dangerous. Intentional interruption is prohibited.

The line fuse is located in an integral-type fuse holder located on the rear panel. Make sure that only fuses of the required rating, as marked on the rear panel, are used for replacement. Do not use repaired fuses or short-circuit the fuse holder. Always disconnect the mains cable before removing or replacing the fuse. Whenever it is likely that the fuse protection has been damaged, make the unit inoperative and secure it against unintended operation.
