Operation

This chapter provides the following information for the RIC-155 converter:

•RIC-155 indicators

•Turning-on and turning-off the RIC-155

•Default settings.

Installation procedures given in Chapter 2 must be completed and checked before attempting to operate RIC-155.

3.1Turning On RIC-155

To turn on RIC-155:

•Connect the power cord to the mains.

The PWR indicator on the front panel lights up and remains on as long as RIC-155 receives power.

RIC-155 requires no operator attention once installed, with the exception of occasional monitoring of front panel indicators. Intervention is only required when RIC-155 must be configured to its operational requirements.

3.2Controls and Indicators

The front panel includes a series of LED indicators that show the current operating status of the unit. Figure 3-1illustrates front panel of the RIC-155 unit. Table 3-1lists and describes the indicator functions.
