3.2 Power Requirements
The power requirements for the 4200 Series Topside processors are 180–140 or 90–260 VAC, 50/60 Hz,
and are auto-switching. The 4200-P Portable Topside Processor can also be powered with 18–36 VDC.
3.2.1 Use of an Uninterrupted Power Supply
The AC power source should be continuously free of high amplitude, high-frequency transients, as this
type of interference could degrade performance or damage the equipment. An uninterrupted power
supply (UPS) with power surge protection is recommended for powering the equipment. However,
whether or not a UPS is used, do not use the same AC power source as one being used to power electric
motors on the survey vessel, such as pumps and winches. Also, do not use switching type battery chargers
or DC to AC converters with square wave outputs.
