  • Page 48 For synchronous operating of the multiple units of EDX-5000A, turn ON/OFF the EDX-5000A as follows. For turning ON the power, turn ON the EDX-5000A from the unit with large ID No. to the unit with small ID No. (turn ON the master EDX-5000A [ID No. 0] lastly). In the figure above, turn ON the power as follows.
