Epica DGX 144 Instruction Manual
Applying Power and Startup
The enclosures’s universal power receptacles will accept all major international standard power sources.
(Standard US power cords are included with all shipments unless ordered otherwise.) Maximum power
specifications are on the power receptacle (also listed on page 13). Always use an earth-grounded power
cord / system with an Epica DGX 144.
The source electrical outlet should be installed near the Epica DGX 144, 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 20 A for 110 V. To avoid an
overload, note the power consumption rating of all the equipment connected to the circuit breaker before
applying power.
Important:
For proper functioning, apply power simultaneously to at least two power supplies on the
Epica DGX 144 before applying power to the system’s source and destination devices. We
recommend attaching all power cords to a single surge protector (20 A) and/or an AC line
conditioner.
Power-Up Sequence
To apply power simultaneously to power supplies:
1.
Attach the first two source and destination devices.
Do
not
apply power to the source and destination devices until Step 7.
2.
Plug a power cord into each power receptacle on the enclosure.
3.
Plug the other end of each power cord into a power strip
that is turned off
(we recommend using a
20 A power strip on a 110 circuit).
4.
Turn on the power strip. Check the Indicator LEDs on the front and rear of the enclosure.
The indicator LEDs may take some time before they illuminate while the system runs its self-
diagnostics.
5.
Attach the external control device/system (see page 31).
6.
Apply power to the external control device/system.
7.
Apply power to the source and destination devices.
The system is ready for a test switch (see page 41).
For startup information on specific types of control, see page 39 before executing a test switch.
Caution:
Each power supply has a small toggle switch to the left of its LEDs that controls internal
power and must remain flipped to the right for the system to operate. Do not flip this switch to the left.
