2.4 Connecting Power

Each display may draw up to 6 amps (3 amps at 230 V). The AC Master switch on the power supply

module is a circuit breaker, which will trip to the off position in the event of an overload. The power

supply is auto-ranging.

Remove the back cover. Use a flat screwdriver or a
coin to turn the four very large screws one-quarter
turn.

Connect a power cable to the power supply and to

an AC source. The power supply is auto-ranging, so it
works with any source from 100 to 240 VAC, 50 to
60 Hz.

The AC Master switch on the power supply is a

circuit breaker. It lights when the switch is ON, and
AC power is available to it.

The AC Master is not lit if it is OFF, or there is no

AC power available.

If there is an overload, the circuit breaker switch

will move to the OFF position. Reset the breaker by
switching it to the ON position. However, a circuit
breaker that trips is a sign of trouble. Find the trouble
first, or call a qualified service person who can find
the trouble.

About UPS supplies

Some installations use a UPS—Uninterruptible

Power Supply. These will work on the Panther if the
output of the UPS is a sine wave.

Many UPS systems have square wave or stepped

wave outputs. These types will not work with Pan-
ther. The Panther 350-volt power supply for the
lamps requires a sine wave input.
