Important
When turning on the FX80 for the first time, use the test cable. After you have made sure the system works with the test cable, repeat this power-up procedure using the third-wire cable.
|
1 | Power up the Bridge Control Unit. Observe that the DSL Link button light briefly turns on, then turns off.
Note
There are two power switches on the Bridge Control Unit, one on the front panel and one on the rear panel. Both switches must be set to “On”. During normal operation, you only need to use the front mounted switch (E) to power on (and off) the unit.
|
2 | Turn on the display. If required, refer to the instructions provided by the display manufacturer.
|
3 | Turn on the Processor Unit. Wait while the operating system loads.
|
4 | Double-click the FX80 icon on the Processor Unit desktop to start the program. Note
The FX80 program is not automatically started when the Processor Unit is turned on.
|
5 | Once the program has started, observe that the presentation fills the entire screen. The program starts up using the same settings as the last time you used it. If these settings are acceptable, continue operation. If you wish to alter any of the settings, see the relevant procedures.
|
6 | Press HV Start (D) on the Bridge Control Unit. Observe that the HV On light turns on. Wait for the Link Status light (B) to flash slowly, then quickly, then turn solid. When lit continuously, the Link Status light indicates that a communication link is established between the Communication Hub and the Bridge Control Unit.
|
7 | Make sure that the blue indicator light on the Communication Hub is lit. This light indicates that the high voltage from the Bridge Control Unit is present.
|
8 | At the bottom of the FX80 presentation, verify that the camera is connected. The current connection speed between the Bridge Control Unit and the Communication Hub is also shown. The speed depends on the length and quality of the third-wire cable.

Caution
Do not connect or disconnect any cables while the system is turned on. Do not leave power on to ports that aren’t connected to anything (even if there are dummy plugs installed).
