1) High Definition image> High Definition images can be created with “Mega Scope 90i” which has a mega pixel CCD. The 90i scope provides the image data in digital signal to the EPK-i. The EPK-i can process the image signal without converting the analog signal. The EPK-i has a DVI (Digital Visual Interface) output port.
12) Processor ID>The processor model name “EPK-i” and its serial number have been stored as ID. These information must be necessary for the LAN environment.

Important: After opening the cover of the unit for repair, the electrical safety test is indispensable. 7.1 Dielectric strength test Caution: 1) Be sure to keep away from the equipment while the high voltage is being applied to the EPK-i. 2) This test is one kind of destructive tests. Multiple tests may damage the EPK-i.
5) Turn off the EPK-i and change the polarity of the AC power by reversing the AC plug. Caution: Surely turn off the EPK-i before the polarity of the AC input is switched. Because the EPK-i has a protect function against momentary power down, the DC power supply unit may not work when the power has been turned off and on momentarily.
8. Trouble shooting Symptom CHECK ACTION Check the fuses in the fuse box located above the AC inlet. If they have been brown, you need to find a part Fuse that may cause the excessive load by disconnecting Power does not turn parts one by one.
