Outlet Power
For plug in operation, a double-insulated AC/DC power
supply is supplied to reduce wall outlet voltage to the cor-
rect voltage for the LT1000.
The external power supply is intended for in-
NOTICE
door use only.
To power the system up with the power cord, locate the
power supply. The power supply cord has two sections,
one of which plugs into a standard 110-120V two-bladed
outlet (US) at one end and plugs into a power supply at
the other end. The second section runs from the power
supply to the back of the LT1000 and plugs into the jack
marked
at the far left side front panel of the unit
(Figure 24) .
With dry hands, connect the two sections together and in-
sert the jack plug into the jack on the LT1000. Route
the cord along a clear path and with dry hands plug the
power supply into a matching outlet. If using an extension
cord ensure it is of adequate wire gauge. For cords of 25
feet, a minimum gauge of 18AWG is required. For cords
greater than 25 feet, a minimum gauge of 16 AWG is re-
quired.
NOTICE
If external power is unreliable and produces
transient voltage spikes, the LT1000 video may freeze. In
this case simply power cycle the LT1000 off and then on.
Job data will not be lost, but current distance count may be
reset.
If the laptop is plugged into AC and the
WARNING
laptop AC adapter is not isolated, then a hot ground
could damage a laptop via the USB grounding connection.
Use only a battery or an isolated power supply to power
the LT1000 and any laptop used with it
