Brick-type power adapters
AV300 systems
are powered by three “brick” type AC adapters: one for the all-in-one touch-
screen PC, one for the M3 controller, and one for the illumination controller. The AC adapters all
accept 100/240 Vac power for worldwide use. They are normally plugged in a switchable outlet
strip, which is shipped with the system and serves as the master power distribution point. The
AC adapters are normally placed on the floor. Before doing so, verify that the floor will never be
flooded or hosed down for cleaning. If there is danger of contact with water on the floor, place the
adapters in a higher, dry location.
In AV350 and AV450 systems,
the same “brick” type AC adapters are used for the M3 controller
and illumination controller. These are installed in an “Amp box” in the pedestal. The rack-mount
PC, which is also installed in the pedestal, is powered directly by the AC line. The PC, as well as
the AC adapters, accept 100/240 Vac power for worldwide use. The pedestal is wired so that
there is a front panel master power switch for the system and a second power switch for the M3
controller. Use this second switch to reset and initialize the M3 controller when needed. Turning
on the master power switch will automatically turn on the computer. Turning off the master power
switch will turn off the computer. Before doing so, shut down the computer under Windows to
close any open files.
WARNING:
Make sure that the main power plug is connected to a properly rated
and grounded receptacle. Do not energize power cables until the entire system has
been properly set up per these instructions. Power goes on last.
