Your PX3TS may have fuses and/or circuit breakers. Verify that all are
firmly seated or set to ON before connecting power.
The PX3TS inlets are labeled INLET 1 (I1) and INLET 2 (I2). INLET 1 is the
factory default preferred inlet, and INLET 2 is the factory default
alternate inlet.
Tip: You can switch preferred and alternate inlets if needed. See
(on page 63).
