Both drives are power hungry devices, requiring a startup
current of 5.2 amps, and a nominal running current of 2 amps. Apricot's system integration
tests have indicated that in order to safely run these devices, an upgrade is required to
the Uninterruptible Power Supply, the fusing arrangements, and the wiring loom.
All FTs machines built after 8th January 1992 will contain the
up-to-date components. For those who wish to add these drives to existing installations,
an upgrade kit will be made available (any exchanged parts may be returned for credit). It
is recommended that drive upgrades and the installation of UPS kits be conducted by an
Approved Service Centre.
Apricot will not accept warranty claims for damage caused to FTs
systems, where these drives have been installed without the necessary power supply
modifications. |
