5.1 Powering up
First of all, please make sure your EPS is connected correctly to the
mother unit and the mains (see section '
Mains connection
' on page 8 and
'
Connecting the mother unit
' on page 9).
The EPS is a stand by unit. Please operate the mains switch 1 on the
back panel to put the EPS in stand by mode.
Only in cases of extended absence (like vacations) or if massive trouble
on the mains power is to be expected (e.g. thunder storms) it is recom-
mended to disconnect the EPS from the mains. To disconnect the EPS
from mains completely, you have to pull the mains cord off the mains
jack 2 .
Important
·
Never pull the mains cord while the EPS or the mother unit is
switched on! Before you pull the mains plug, power down the
mother unit to stand-by mode and switch off the EPS on the back
panel.
5.2 Switching on/off
Please operate the mains switch 1 on the back panel to put the EPS in
stand by mode.
The position of mains switch of mother devices that need no additional
mains connection (see section '
Connecting the mother unit'
on page 9) is
negligible. All other mother devices must be switched on.
Now operate the mother device as usual, all functions are the same. If the
mother device is switched on, the LED on the EPS front panel is acti-
vated.
If you switch off the mother device, the power LED of the EPS turns off.
Note
·
For further information on starting up a mother device with 5-pin
connector in combination with an EPS please consult the user's man-
ual of the mother device.
