Please connect the power supply to the grid after connecting all other devices.
Manual ArgusNT® GPS-Series

Page 15

2. Fix the power supply with the enclosed screws to the allocated space of the computer case.
3. Connect all components with the suitable cables.
Please follow also chapter 5.2 (Pin configuration) as well as the instructions of the device manufacturers.
A faulty connection of the components can cause damages. Please ask your local dealer or our service-hotline in case of discrepancies or questions.
4. Lay all cables in a way to avoid disturbing airflow or any rotating fan. Use the enclosed cable ties to fix the cables.
5. Connect the power supply with the electric socket.
Use only the original power cord. In case of a damaged cable, please change it against an approved power cord from your local dealer.
6. Switch on the power supply at the backside of the power supply. Your computer is ready now.
By power-on the power supply it is in Stand-By mode to start the computer by pressing the power button at the case front. To separate the computer totally from the electric grid power ­off the power supply directly.

Page 16

Manual ArgusNT® GPS-Series

7. Fan Control

The power supplies of the ArgusNT® GPS-Series are provided with an intelligent fan control (IFC) which turns the fan on only if the temperature inside the power supply exceeds 65°C and an additional cooling is necessary. If the temperature falls below 65°C the fan will be switched off and will start again if the temperature will exceed this mark again.
In addition the fan speed is regulated between 0 and 1200 rpm automatically.
This keeps the noise level of the fan very low.

8. FAQ
