Recommended Additional Equipment
Successful operation of the Luminex MAGPIX system may require additional equipment.
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) or Surge Protector
Luminex recommends using either an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) or a surge
protector to protect your system from power outages. Use a UPS that provides 585 Watts/
960 VA for at least 60 minutes. Select a surge protector that fits your requirements with
regard to electrical environment, endurance, suppressed voltage rating, and method of
protection. The surge protector requires three outlets and a minimum rating of 585 Watts.
Either piece of equipment should bear an appropriate safety certification mark for your region,
for example, Underwriters Laboratory (UL), Canadian Standards Association (CSA), or
Conformité Europeénne (CE).
