ACTIVE REMOTE PANEL CONNECTION

DANGER:
RISK OF DEATH OR BODILY INJURY: disconnect all sources of input power and
wait a few minutes before working on this unit or anything connected to it. Internal
components may remain live for 1 min after the MDXII unit has been disconnected.
CAUTION:
Do not connect an active remote panel if your MDXII unit has an integrated active front
panel. An MDXII unit with an active front panel (that is, a control panel that is an
integrated part of the unit) will not function correctly if an active remote panel is
connected to the DISPLAY port.
WARNING:
To properly initialize the active remote panel, you must connect when the MDXII unit is
off (no live power). This connector was designed for connecting an Advanced Energy
active remote panel only. The communications format between Advanced Energy
display panels and the MDXII unit is different than the serial port communications
format. An incorrect connection could damage the MDXII unit.
You can connect an Advanced Energy
male, subminiature-D connector shown in Figure 6-1 on page 6-1. The corresponding port on
the MDXII rear panel is labeled DISPLAY.
