3 Electrical Power Requirements
All the system components are plugged into the power strips in the back
of each of the cabinets. The Version 3 HVI 900 instrument operates on
230 volts (50 to 60 Hz) and requires a separate dedicated 15-amp
circuit breaker at the facility’s electrical load center. During normal
operation, the HVI draws approximately six (6) amps; the startup current
is sufficiently high to require the larger breaker. A power cord is
provided that will connect to the HVI. The opposite end must be fitted
with connections compatible with the facility’s electrical system.
• Check that all power switches on the instrument are OFF.
• Connect the system to an AC outlet:
° 215 -230 volts
° 6 amps
° 50-60 Hz
• Turn ON the power:
° Open the right front door of the Length/Strength cabinet. Verify
that the red switch on the Control Box (labeled Main) is in the
ON position.
° Verify that the white switch on the Control Box is in the ON
position.
• Close the door and turn on the HVI:
° Press the red switch located on the front of the length/strength
plexiglass cover.
• Turn ON the monitors and the balance.
• Allow the system to warm up for at least four (4) hours before
performing calibrations for the first time.
