2.2 Connecting up
2.2.1 Cautions
Radio transmitters may affect the operation of the
console and we recommend that they are not placed on,
above or behind the console. If you are wearing one it is
best placed in a back pocket or behind you when
attached to a belt.
2.2.2 Connecting mains power
You can safely connect the Quartz to any voltage from 80 to 260V.
We recommend that you power the console via an external
uninterruptible power supply or UPS (available from computer
suppliers), otherwise when someone pulls out the wrong plug and
kills power to the console you can lose data (up to the last Autosave)
and the console may want to check its disk on startup which can
cause delays. The UPS will protect you from most power problems
and give you chance to shut down the console normally.
2.2.3 Starting up and shutting down
The console runs a Windows-based operating system internally, so
you need to make sure it is shut down properly rather than just
turning off its power.
Start up the console by pressing and releasing the Power switch at
the top right of the console. The console display should come alive.
The console takes about 1 min 30 seconds to start up.
Shut down the console by pressing and releasing the Power switch
again. The console will perform a controlled shutdown. Wait until the
Power light has gone off (about 30 seconds) before you disconnect
power from the console.
To carry out a Forced Shutdown of the console, if the normal shut
down does not work, hold down the power switch for 5 seconds. You
will lose any changes to your show since the last save.
If the console has a power switch on the rear, do not
use this to switch off the console as this would not close
down the software properly and you will lose any
changes to your show.
2.2.4 Titan Healthcheck
When the Titan software starts up, it runs a small utility called Titan
Healthcheck which checks the file system and the installed firmware
and software for anything that might cause you problems. If any
problems are found, a warning screen is displayed which offers the
option to fix the problems.
