INITIAL POWER-UP

This paragraph describes the procedure used to turn on the ASX-Series Power Source for the first
time. The steps below are the recommended order of operation.
LETHAL VOLTAGES ARE PRESENT AT THE OUTPUT TERMINALS OF THIS MACHINE!
1. For new installations, check input connections (including proper input voltage). Do not
connect the load at this time. Also verify that the OUTPUT POWER switch is in the OFF
position.
2. Switch the INPUT POWER switch to the ON position. The controller will light up and begin
to display output data.
3. Set the controller for the desired output voltage, frequency, phase separation, etc. (Refer
to the controller operation manual for details regarding adjustment of output parameters.)
4. Set the OUTPUT POWER switch of the Power Source to the ON/AUTO position and press
the UPC OUTPUT ENABLE switch to set it to the ON position.
DO NOT CONNECT ANY LOADS TO THE OUTPUT OF THE POWER SOURCE UNTIL THE OUTPUT
VOLTAGE AND FREQUENCY HAVE BEEN VERIFIED AS CORRECT.
APPLICATION OF IMPROPER VOLTAGE OR FREQUENCY CAN DAMAGE USER LOADS.
5. Verify proper voltage, frequency and waveform at the output terminal block. If the output is
not that which is desired, set the output to desired values. Refer to the controller manual
for details.
6. Once the desired output is verified, turn the system OFF by first setting the OUTPUT
POWER SWITCH to the OFF position and then opening the INPUT POWER SWITCH.
Connect the load.
7. Re-start the unit beginning at step 2, above. Verify that the system delivers power to the
load.
