CONTROL

BOX

ON/OFF

Procedure for turning control box On/Off is as follows



Stand-type control box On/Off

Press the AC power switch at the bottom of the control box to apply AC power.
Press the main power switch at the top of the control box to turn on the main
power.
"Please Wait" is displayed in the LCD screen of the control box. This indicates that
the control box is being booted.
When the control box is changed to the enabled state, the LCD message is
displayed as "Normal Operation".

To turn off the power, press the main power switch for a few seconds.

Caution

Caution:

1)

Control box uses AC 100 to 240V single phase (50 to 60 Hz).
