AFX Cabinet Systems Turn ON and turn OFF Procedures

AFX Cabinet systems can be turned on or off using the front panel mounted circuit breakers
on the master and auxiliary units. Turn on and turn off sequence recommendations are
listed below and illustrated in Figure 5-17. The sequence is not critical as long as units are
turned on within 15 seconds of each other. If more time elapses, an error may be displayed
and the master/aux discovery process should be restarted from the PARALLEL UNITS screen
under the SYSTEM menu. Refer to section 6.8.7, "PARALLEL UNITS Screen".
Alternatively, the master grid power disconnect switch that is required for cabinet
installation can be used to connect or disconnect all units from grid power at the same time.

5.15.1 Cabinet Power Turn ON using Circuit Breakers

The following turn on sequence is recommended:
1. Turn ON bottom auxiliary unit first by pulling its front panel circuit lever to the
upward (ON) position.
2. Turn ON any additional auxiliary units between the bottom auxiliary unit and the
top Master unit by pulling each front panel circuit lever to the upward (ON) position.
3. Turn ON the Master unit last by pulling its front panel circuit lever to the upward
(ON) position.
This will ensure all auxiliary units are up and will be found when the master starts the
discovery process.

5.15.2 Cabinet Power Turn OFF using Circuit Breakers

The turn off procedures is the reverse of the turn on one as follows:
1. First, turn of AFX System output using the OUTPUT button on the Master unit front
panel first to make sure any load is powered down first.
2. Then, turn OFF the Master unit first by flipping its front panel circuit lever to the
down (OFF) position.
3. Turn OFF the first auxiliary unit located below the master unit by flipping the front
panel circuit lever to the down (OFF) position.
4. Turn OFF the bottom auxiliary unit last by flipping its front panel circuit lever to the
down (OFF) position.
Note: Turning off all AFX units in a cabinet DOES NOT remove MAINS power from it. If any
service is to be performed on the cabinet, make sure the MAINS power (grid power)
is disconnected first.
