3. FIRST STEPS, THE UNIT IN USE:
In the following instructions we do not differentiate between the PowerBox
Cockpit, Competition and Professional, since the method of programming
the three units is absolutely identical. The only difference is that the Power-
Box Cockpit includes the door sequencer function.
3.1 CONNECTIONS
Plug the batteries into the MPX connectors on the backer with correct pola-
rity. We recommend PowerPak 2.5 X2 or 5.0 X2. If you prefer to use other
makes of battery, or packs you have assembled yourself, please take parti-
cular care over polarity - it is always better to check twice rather than make
a mistake. If you connect a battery to the backer incorrectly, this will immedi-
ately ruin the associated regulator. The unit does not feature reverse polarity
protection, as this minimises power losses between battery and backer. The
+ markings are printed clearly on the case cover.
Connect the SensorSwitch to the appropriate red socket. Note that the
ribbon cable must run upwards. In models subject to powerful vibration we
recommend that you secure the ribbon cable at a minimum of one point in
order to prevent the connector working loose and falling out. Although this
would have no effect on the switched state of the backer, it would prevent
you switching it off.
3.2 THE PROCEDURE FOR SWITCHING ON AND OFF
The method of switching the unit on and off is very simple, and the process
effectively eliminates the possibility of changing the backer's status acci-
dentally. This is the procedure
Locate the SET button on the SensorSwitch and hold it pressed in until the
central LED glows red. Now press buttons I and II in turn to switch the backer
on.
Repeat the procedure to switch off: hold the SET button pressed in, wait until
the central LED glows red, then confirm by pressing buttons I and II in turn.
Your PowerBox stores the last switched state (on or off). That means: if the
backer is switched off using the SensorSwitch, it stays switched off.
