Power Connection
1. The unit should be connected to a suitably rated 95-130V AC or 195-265V AC, 50-60
Hz supply and will automatically adapt to the voltage and frequency. A suitably rated
DC/Mains Inverter may also be used.
2. Ensure that an appropriately rated modelling lamp is fitted according to the voltage
range being used. Refer to the Specification and the User Maintenance section.
3. Connect the power cable to the Power Input on the unit and to the power supply
outlet.
4. Switch on the power supply.
5. The Standby indicator should be lit, indicating that the unit is connected to the power
supply and is in Standby mode. This depends on the user option Power Switch
State setting - see below.
Turning the Unit On
1. Press the On/Standby button.
2. The Standby indicator will be extinguished and the Power indicator will light up
together with ALL other indicators for a period of 3 seconds. After this the indicators
will change to show the last used setting. The defaults are SYNC = CELL OFF /
MODELLING = PROP OFF / INDICATION = BEEP OFF.
3. A user option is available (Power Switch State) to remember if the unit was on or in
standby mode if power is lost (see page 18). This ensures that the unit reverts to the
last state when power is restored.
