Applying Power And Startup - AMX Modula Instruction Manual

Installation and Setup

Applying Power and Startup

The enclosures's universal power receptacle will accept all major international standard power sources.
Standard US power cords are provided for installations within the US. Maximum power specifications
are on the power receptacle (also listed on page 14). Always use an earth-grounded power cord / system
with a Modula.
The source electrical outlet should be installed near the Modula, 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 15 A for 110 V or 30 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.
