DP Series system up and running is to connect an AC power source to the AC
Power module via the Neutrik PowerCon™ inlet connector, and a full range line level audio signal to the Input module via
the AUDIO IN XLR connector.
Upon initial power-up of the DrivePack, the Blue
Power
LED will illuminate and the Green DP
Ready
indicator (located to
the left of the input module input level control) will flash during the boot-up and AC line auto-select soft-start process. The
DrivePack is equipped with Auto-Sensing Universal AC Voltage Selection and can operate anywhere in the world that has
an available 100-120VAC or 200-240VAC power source. On the power-up sequence the DPIP senses line voltage and sets
the high voltage line select relay within about two seconds. The system is ready for operation when the Green
Ready
LED
on both the AC Input module and the DPIP module is steadily illuminated.
