First time users are recommended to setup the system 

in the same room as a test setup. This will allow you to 

identify and solve any cabling problems, and experiment 

with your system more conveniently.

Please verify that interconnect cables, interfaces, and  

handling of the devices comply with the requirements (see  

manual Chapter 7, Page 57).

To power up the system, the following sequence is 

recommended:

Monitor – CON Unit – Draco vario Repeater – CPU Unit – 

source.
