System Cabling

There are some general limitations that must be taken into account when designing a dispenser and ordering hardware elements of a Personal Shopper system.
  • No more than six cradles can be powered off each leg of the “Y” power cable.
  • A power supply cable runs from the power supply to one or two cradles.
  • Cradle interconnection cables run between each successive cradle in the chain.
  • The power supply is air cooled, and as such expects some circulation of fresh air around it. Do not enclose it in a small airtight location.
  • Power supplies must be mounted in their natural, landscape orientation. They contain fans and their vents must allow for the free flow of air.
  • Power supplies should be mounted either above or below dispensers and entrance heads. Mounting of power supplies to the right or left is not preferred.
  • When laying out your furniture and cabling plan, routing should be as direct as possible. Routing should follow vertical and horizontal runs through the modules. A set of labels, numbered 1 to 12, is part of each power supply unit. These labels are to be used to track the number of loads on a particular supply. Each label is designed to be attached to the cradle interconnection cable when a cradle is added to the daisy chain. When all labels are used, the supply is fully loaded.
