Powering Up the Panel
After connecting and wiring all devices to the panel, you are
ready to apply AC power to the panel.
To power up the panel:
Plug the transformer into an outlet that is not controlled
by a switch or ground fault circuit interrupt (GFCI). Be
sure to screw the top of the transformer onto the outlet
so that doesn’t fall out of the outlet.
The message,
PANEL
POWERED
UP
, will be displayed
WARNING
!
Be careful when securing the transformer to an outlet with
a metal cover. Hold the cover tightly in place. You could
receive a serious shock if the metal outlet cover drops
down onto the prongs of the plug while you are securing
the transformer and cover to the outlet box.
Note
If the panel does not display anything, immediately unplug
the transformer and disconnect the backup battery. Refer
to the “Troubleshooting” (on page 19) section.
