Site Power Wiring Recommendations
The table below describes the conditions{ XE "Scanner installation:Site power wiring 
recommendations" } { XE "Power wiring recommendations" }for power wiring at a scanner site. 
Condition
Description
Dedicated Feeder
Run a separate dedicated feeder from the building main power panel to 
the branch power panel serving the 5000i system. The cabling should be 
of sufficient diameter to produce no less than 110V at the outlet when 
the 5000i is connected and powered on. This feeder should be a 
minimum of 30 amp service to allow for future growth of the system. 
 
Dedicated Isolated/ 
Insulated Ground 
An isolated/dedicated ground is required. Run this ground conductor as 
an uninterrupted circuit from the power panel to the 5000i system branch 
panel. The gauge of this conductor must be at least as large as that of 
the AC circuit conductors in all stages of the circuit. 
 
Panel Branch Circuits
All branch circuits leaving tne 5000i branch power panel should be at 
least 10 AWG copper wire. There should be no circuits from this power 
panel serving devices that are not part of the 5000i system. 
 
One branch circuit from this power panel should be dedicated at the 
scanner (this circuit will also service the computer and monitor), and 
there should be at least one additional dedicated circuit for each 
additional scanner. 
 
Additional Utility 
Convenience Connectors 
Provide additional convenience outlets in the vicinity of the 5000i 
scanner. Connect these outlets (may be used for vacuums, paper 
joggers, and other electrical devices) to a branch panel other than the 
scanner branch panel to provide maximum noise isolation for the 5000i 
system components. 
 
Scanner Electrical 
Connections 
Dedicate one 15 amp (120 VAC) or 7.5 amp (220 VAC) circuit to each 
5000i scanner at the site. All may be served from the same branch 
panel, provided its rated capacity is not exceeded. 
 
Electrical Outlets{ XE 
"Electrical outlet" \i } 
All 120V outlets for the 5000i scanner should be Hubble IG-5362 or 
equivalent (NEMA 5-20R). All 240V outlets should be Hubble IG2410A 
or equivalent. Outlets for the peripheral equipment should be of the type 
and rating specified in the hardware reference manuals for the 
equipment. 
 
The quantity of outlets that must be provided for the peripheral 
equipment varies according to system configuration. (See Panel Branch 
circuits above.) Outlets should be located within 6 feet (2 meters) of the 
working location of the equipment.
