ADIC Scalar 1000 - Manual (Page 19)

Environmental Overview
The Scalar 1000 library has unique electrical specifi-
cations for the control module, expansion modules, and
tape drives as illustrated in the table below. These de-
scriptions vary from power consumption to special
power supply parameters.
Control Module Electrical Specifications
Each Scalar 1000 module requires a dedicated,
hardwired 20 amp circuit. This must be in place before
Scalar 1000 modules can be installed.
Control Module (Single Phase)
North America Europe
Voltage a 115 230
KVA 1.6 1.6
AMP b 14 7
KW/hour 0.36 0.36
Receptacle d L5-20 c
Expansion Module Electrical Specifications
Expansion Module (Single Phase)
North America Europe
Voltage a 115 230
KVA 1.6 1.6
AMP 14 7
KW/hour 0.36 0.36
Receptacle d L5-20 c
a. Connect an 18-gauge stranded copper wire from the
control module cabinet to an earth ground.
b. Includes the drive components.
c. Cable and receptacle determined by location.
d. To ensure adequate power supply, the Scalar 1000
library requires a dedicated, hardwired 20 amp
circuit and an L5-20 type connector, commonly
referred to as a “20 amp/twist lock” connector.

BTU Guidelines
For customers interested in the BTU (British Ther-
mal Unit) values associated with a Scalar 1000 library,
here are some general guidelines:
DLT
• Control module with 12 DLT drives - 4500 BTU/hr
• 12 DLT drives at steady state - 126 BTU/hr
• 12 DLT drives during operative mode - 160 BTU/hr
AIT
• Control module with 12 AIT drives - 575 BTU/hr
• AIT drive module (drive pair) at steady state - 18 BTU/hr
• AIT drive module (drive pair) during operative mode - 18 BTU/hr
IBM 3590
• IBM 3590 drive module at steady state - 73 BTU/hr
• IBM 3590 drive module during operative mode - 73 BTU/hr
