AFTER COMPLETING ALL OF THE INSPECTION AND INSTALLATION STEPS, DO THE
FOLLOWING:
1. Circuit Breaker CB-1 is located on the Right Side of the Model 415 (Figure 1, Item 15)
CB-1 is the Main Power Switch. It should be in the OFF or down position.
2. Connect the Input Power Cable to the appropriate AC source (see power connection 3.4).
3. Raise the Display Panel to the “UP” Position.
4. Set the Main circuit Breaker CB-1 to the “ON” or up position.
5. When the Power is turned on the Model 415 will take a few seconds before information is
shown on the display and on the pendant screen. During this time the system is making
internal checks to verify correct working condition of critical Systems functions.

to Figure 4. The Start Up Pop Up Menu may appear where the AMI Logo is in the Figure.
If it does not, touch the control panel icon (last one) on the tool bar and the Start Up
menu will appear. Touching the “show easy Start” box will make the Start Up box
