  • Page 12: Powering On

    2. Powering On When you have installed an Ethernet network, the power on process is the same as powering on a single control head, however, your transducer connections will determine how the control head starts normal operation. It is important to set up your network to use the correct sources. If there is a transducer connected to only one of the control heads, and you intend to share the transducer on the network, power on the control head with the connected transducer first.
