Section 3: Connecting the Controller
3.5 Connecting Power
The TVC-500 base chassis comes standard with 1
power supply. Connect the approved rated line cord,
supplied with the controller, to the AC inlet of the
power supply on the rear panel (Figure 3-7) and
connect the three-pronged end of the line cords to a
grounded AC outlet. The Input voltage must be
capable of 100-240 VAC, 15A.
NOTICE:The line cords provided with the
controller from the Christie factory are approved
and rated for North American use only. Do not
attempt to operate the controller if the AC supply
and power cord are not within the specified
voltages and power range.
3.5.1 Power ON Controller
To power up the controller and initialize the input and display modules:
1. Press the Power button on the front panel (circled in Figure 3-8).
2. Wait until the Windows 7 operating system cycles through its initialization process. This may take several
minutes depending on the number of display cards installed.
3. When the Windows 7 Login screen appears, enter a valid user name and password to login.
3.5.2 Power OFF Controller
The front panel Power ON/Standby button does not completely power OFF System
power. Portions of the power supply and some internal circuitry remain active until AC power is
removed. If you are powering down for maintenance, you must also remove the power cord from the
power supply. Failure to remove the power cord may increase the risk of personal injury, electric shock,
or damage to the equipment.
If the power cord is removed for maintenance purposes, ensure that a wrist strap is
worn and grounded to the controller chassis and that the chassis is suitably grounded before working
inside the controller. Failure to do so may result in component damage due to Electro Static Discharge
(ESD).
