Product Specifications

Electrical

• Power is provided by a 12V DC Power Adapter that is included with the 834-v6. The power adapter operates from a power source of 100 to 240V AC, 50 – 60 Hz. The nominal output is 12V DC +\–5% with a maximum current rating of 2.5 Amps. For US and Canadian applications, a UL Listed limited power source (LPS) is required. For deployment outside of North America, an LPS specifically approved for that country, such as a CE Mark, is required.

NOTE
It is strongly suggested that the power supply (a 5-foot (1.5 m) power cord) included with the 834-v6 be connected to a surge suppressor device which can have its own extension cable. The surge protection device should provide L-N, L-G, and N-G protection. It is also recommended that the device contains a visual ‘GOOD’ indicator.

Environment

• Operating Temperature: 32°F to 104°F (0°C to 40°C)
• Storage Temperature: -40°F to 158°F (-40°C to 70°C)
• Relative Humidity: 10 to 95 percent, non-condensing

NOTE
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by ADTRAN will void the warranty.
