2 Unpacking the unit
Important information about power
supply to ETX-200
To avoid problems with ETX-200 and/or
EPP-100 it is very important that both
DC plugs on the EXM power cord are
inserted into the EPP-100, i.e. each
EXM unit needs to be fed from two DC
outputs at the rear end of EPP-100.
(See picture to the right).
NOTE! Never connect two EPP units to
feed one ETX-200
