Power supply interruptions (blackouts) that can cause loss of network connectivityPower supply issues (brownouts, platform wedges) that can cause loss of platform operations requiring a manual intervention.
A simple UPS should be procured from an outside vendor that can supply sufficient power (watts/VA) to feed the platform, and sufficient capacity (watt/VA-hours) to keep the platform running for at least 15-30 minutes.Platform maximum power requirements from the hardware specifications:NFX150 – 150 wattsNFX250 – 250 wattsNFX350 – 250 watts Power output from the UPS should be at least 25% higher than required power for the platform.Switchover time should be <50ms. A site survey performed by a Licensed Electrician is recommended.
All NFX platforms should be connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply to reduce risk of:
This is considered best practices for standalone platforms installed in “retail locations” and/or at end-customer sites without onsite technical support.
