Power supply
The 4700 Series scanner is earthed via a 3-wire power cable to a 2-pole and
earth power outlet with a maximum 16 amp protection.
Your electrical installation must comply to IEC 364 standards and with the of
national standards of your country.
The scanner voltage is 100/120/220/240V, 60/50Hz, 80 VA.
The power supply is protected with one fuse for all voltages, type T2.5 AH
(5 x 20 mm).
‘.’ on page 14 .
Operating recommendations
■In order to obtain the best results, use your scanner in an environment with a
temperature ranging from 59°F to 89°F (15°C to 32°C) and a relative
humidity lower than 80%.
■If these conditions cannot be met, the installation of an air conditioning
system is recommended.
■You should position the scanner a couple of centimeters away from the wall
so that the scanned originals can fall down freely and be easily recuperated
in the basket.
■Ensure that enough air surrounds the scanner in order to avoid overheating.
