manual.

Turning on the RGA
1. Power up the RGA Head:
Standard RGA heads are powered up by turning on the external 24V power supply.
Units with a built in power module (Option 02) have a power switch on the back
panel of the ECU box.
2. When power is applied to the ECU, a firmware routine automatically checks the
external voltage level and turns on the green Power LED if the voltage is within the
acceptable range of 24 +/-2 V DC. The SRS RGA Head is now ready to
communicate with the computer.
