    Apply power to the GBC. The Power LED will light up green to indicate the unit is operational. If the unit is powering the detectors, each detector will cycle through its respected power up cycle. The Macurco Gas Detector (EX. CM-XX) cycles through an internal self-test cycle for the first minute that it is powered. The detector will execute the test cycle any time power is dropped and reapplied (i.e., power failure).
