Installation & Setup

Applying Power & Startup

The enclosure’s universal power receptacles will accept all major international standard power sources. Standard US power cords are provided for installations within the US. Maximum power specifications are on the power receptacle (also listed on page 11). Always use an earth-grounded power cord / system with a Precis SD.

The source electrical outlet should be installed near the Precis SD, easily accessible, and properly grounded. Power should come from a building branch circuit. We strongly recommend using a dedicated line for the system’s power. Use a minimum breaker current rating of 15 A for 110 V or 30 A for 230 V. To avoid an overload, note the power consumption rating of all the equipment connected to the circuit breaker before applying power.

Caution: To avoid system damage, turn on all power switches for the AMX AutoPatch equipment at the same time before applying power to the system’s source and destination devices.

We recommend attaching all power cords to a surge protector and/or an AC line conditioner.

Power-Up Sequence

To apply power:

1.Attach the first two source and destination devices (see “Attaching Inputs & Outputs,” page 24). Do not apply power to the source and destination devices until Step 7.

2.Optional – Attach an external controller (see “Attaching External Controllers,” page 20).

3.Plug the power cord into the power receptacle on the enclosure.

4.Plug the other end of the power cord(s) into a power strip (we recommend a 30 A power strip) that is turned off.

5.Turn on the power strip.

The Power Indicator on the front of the enclosure illuminates (FIG. 15).

6.Optional – Apply power to any external control device/system.

7.Apply power to the source and destination devices.

The Comm indicator on the front of the enclosure (FIG. 15) blinks green to indicate Ethernet traffic on the system.

For startup information on specific types of control before executing a test switch, see page 20. The system is ready for a test switch (see “Executing A Test Switch” on page 29).

Note: For information on checking the software and hardware versions, see page 57.
