Operation
Start-Up
• VERIFY that all connections to the MPC are correct.
• If either the AC source or the DC source (or both) is present and within specifications,
the color of the LED above the ON/OFF switch will be amber. This indicates that the MPC
is in standby mode and ready to turn on. The front panel LEDs will also be appropriately
illuminated.
• Momentarily push the ON/OFF switch on the front panel of the MPC upward. The switch
can then be released and it will return to its normal (neutral) position.
• The MPC will immediately enable its output (assuming there is no fault condition). The
color of the LED above the ON/OFF switch will change to green. The LEDs on the front
panel will indicate the amount of power being delivered to the load and the input source
from which this power is being drawn.
Shut-Down
• Shut down the equipment connected to the MPC.
• Push the ON/OFF switch on the front panel of the MPC downward and hold it in this
position for 1 second (or more). The color of the LED above the ON/OFF switch will change
to amber (if one or both input power sources are present) or it will be off (if no power
sources are present). The switch can then be released to return to its normal position.
• The MPC will disable its output and shut down.
• The front panel LEDs will either be appropriately illuminated (if one or both input power
sources are present) or they will be off (if no power sources are present).
• It is not necessary to move the AC BREAKER on the rear panel of the MPC to the OFF
position.
