Equipment
Uninterruptible
Power Supply
(UPS)
Luminex highly recommends using an uninterruptible power supply
(UPS) to protect your system from power outages. Choose one that
can provide 1050 Watts for at least 45 minutes. The UPS should be
UL listed, CSA certified, and CE marked when used internationally.
Surge Protector If you do not use a UPS, use a surge protector. Choose a protector
that meets your needs. Factors to consider include electrical
environment, endurance, suppressed voltage rating, and method of
protection. It should have six outlets, rated at least 1500 Watts, and
be UL listed, CSA certified, CE marked for nondomestic use when
used internationally.
