Connect equipotential bonding to the auxiliary equipment. Connecting AC Power Fabius OS can be operated at mains voltages from 100 V to 240 V. Push power plug into supply mains socket. 2 Switch on the machine by using the ON/OFF switch on the rear of the machine.
Daily and Pre-use Checkout At the completion of the assembly of the Fabius OS, perform the Daily and Pre-use Check- out procedure provided in the Appendix of this manual to ensure that the machine is ready for operation.
1 Turn the ON/OFF switch to the ON position. When the ON/OFF switch is turned to the ON position, the Fabius OS performs extensive self-tests on its internal hardware. As these diagnostics are per- formed, each test and its result appear on the screen.
WARNING The power-on self-test should be carried out once a day. Switch Fabius OS off and on or start the self- test by pressing the soft key »Run System Test«. Power-Up Standby Screen Following a successful power-up, the Standby screen appears and provides instructions on star- ting the operation of the Fabius OS.
