Control Panel Power Specifications

The VideoRay Pro 4 Ultra operates on typical residential power in the range of 100-240 Volts AC, 50,60 Hz. This can be provided from the land-based grid, a generator, or a battery with an inverter. The typical power requirements for operating from a generator or inverter are 800 Watts minimum.

The system includes a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) / Circuit Breaker to protect the operator.

There is one universal IEC power outlet on the back of the control panel. this outlet is protected by the GFCI. The GFCI must be on to use this outlet, but the control panel power switch does not need to be on.

The power in the tether is 48 Volts DC.

The procedures for testing the circuit safety component can be found in the Pre-Dive Preparations section of the Quick Start Instructions.

Do not block the fans. Blocking the fans can lead to overheating and component failure.
