TP6000 USER’S MANUAL 4 - 3
Ÿ When the external power fails and the TP6000 is working on the optional UPS
battery power, the green LED flashes.
Ÿ When the optional UPS battery is close to full discharge from supporting the
TP6000 in the absence of the external power, the orange LED flashes rapidly.
Ÿ When the TP6000 is turned off and the external power is not present, the LED is
off.
This system will not allow power up in the absence of an external power
supply.
The maximum total power consumption of the external power supply unit is
1.6 A at 115 V AC or 0.8 A at 230 V AC.
Hardware Switch
The power switch located at left side of the main unit is a slide type switch.
This switch controls the power on/off of the system. This switch turns the system on
when slid downward, only when external power is present. The switch will always
spring back to its original position when pressure is removed. This switch turns the
system off when slid downward again during power on status. However, if the system
hangs due to any reason such as software resource conflict a simple slide of the switch
may fail to turn off the power. In this case, please utilize the forced power off
feature by pressing the switch downward, and holding for within 10 seconds. In case
the turmoil is so vigorous that some hardware registers may be confused causing
trouble for system restart or even this forced power off, please disconnect the UPS
battery if installed and the AC power supply for few minutes. This may allow all
hardware registers to reset.
This switch can also be programmed as an ON only switch. That means, if the
application program issues a command compliant with the TP6000 series technical
manual, this switch will always turn the system on when activated, but will not power
off the system when depressed again (the forced power off feature will not work in
this mode). When using this feature, please make sure that the software application
has the ability to power off the machine.
