Bottle Rack. No additional software or computer hardware is required.
1.4. Electrical Requirements
The Smart Bottle Rack operates on electrical power supplied by the SPE-Express. The same electrical
requirements for the SPE-Express apply.
•
Required Voltage: 120 volts, ~60Hz, 15A
•
Power should not vary greater than 10%. Use the supplied power cord or equivalent to connect to
the power supply. For safety reasons, a separate power receptacle should be provided for each
SPE-Express. Do not use extension cords or outlet adaptors. Make certain that power outlets are
earth-grounded at the grounding pin.
