EnAct
START UP
The EnAct is a microprocessor-based control console
sensitive to power fluctuations on standard power lines. As a
minimum, the console should be plugged into an isolated
circuit with a full equipment ground. For best results, the
console should be connected to a UPS power supply, or as
a bare minimum, a high quality power conditioner.
Do not plug the console into an outlet with motor or SCR-
controlled devices.
The steps called out below will guide you through the first
start-up exercise of the EnAct Console.
Follow the directions carefully.
STEP 1:
Position the control console on a flat surface. The key position
in the upper right corner should be Off.
Do not connect the power cable at this time.
STEP 2:
Connect the 5-pin XLR DMX cable into the first DMX output port
on the rear of the console. Connect the opposite end to the
control connection plate labeled DMX or DMX #1. If the system
is equipped with more than 512 dimmers, connect the next DMX
cable to the next appropriate port on both the output of the
console to the control connection plate.
STEP 3:
Position the SVGA monitor adjacent to the console. Connect the
VGA cable male end with the (15-pin 'D' connector) to the rear of the
monitor. Use the captive thumb screws to tighten the connection.
STEP 4:
Connect the other male end of the VGA cable to the console
video output Monitor 1 (Item 10, page 10). Use the captive
thumb screws to tighten the connection.
STEP 5:
Repeat steps #3 and #4 if the console is a dual SVGA system.
STEP 6:
Connect the recessed female power cord to the rear of the
SVGA monitor.
STEP 7:
Connect the male end of the monitor power cord to the monitor
convenience outlet located on the rear of the console (Item 12,
page 10).
STEP 8:
Repeat steps #6 and #7 if the console is a dual SVGA system.
STEP 9:
Connect the male end of the console power cord to a line
voltage outlet (120VAC, U.S. version or 220VAC, export version).
STEP 10:
Connect the female end of the power cord to the rear of the
console (Item 14, page 10.)
