Applying Power & Startup
The enclosures's universal power receptacles will accept all major international standard power sources.
(US power cords are included with all shipments unless ordered otherwise.) Maximum power
specifications are on the power receptacle (also listed on page 12). Always use an earth-grounded power
cord / system with an Epica DG.
The source electrical outlet should be installed near the Epica DG, easily accessible, and properly
grounded. Power should come from a building branch circuit. We strongly recommend using a dedicated
line for the system's power. Use a minimum breaker current rating of 30 A for 110 V or 15 A for 230 V.
To avoid an overload, note the power consumption rating of all the equipment connected to the circuit
breaker before applying power.
Caution: To avoid system damage, turn on all power switches for the AMX AutoPatch equipment
at the same time before applying power to the system's source and destination devices. We
recommend attaching all power cords to a surge protector and/or an AC line conditioner.
Power-Up Sequence
To apply power and ensure that all power supplies are turned on simultaneously:
1.
Attach the first two source and destination devices.
Do not apply power to the source and destination devices until Step 7.
2.
Attach the external control device/system (see page 27).
3.
Plug a power cord into each power receptacle on the enclosure (repeat for multi-enclosure systems).

Attach power cables to each power receptacle
4.
Plug the other end of each power cord into a power strip that is turned off (we recommend using a
30 A power strip).
5.
Turn on the power strip (to all enclosures if applicable).
6.
Apply power to the control device/system.
7.
Apply power to the source and destination devices.
The system is ready for a test switch (see page 38).
For startup information on specific types of control, see page 36 before executing a test switch.
Caution: Each power receptacle has a small toggle switch that controls internal power and must
remain flipped to the right for the system to operate. Do not flip this switch to the left.
