3.2 Power and Communication Connections
Check that the power switch on the back of the instrument is in the "OFF" position.

corresponds to the local main power specifications. Also make sure the power cable is grounded. Hereafter,
connect only the power cable to the instrument.
In order to make a ‘Connection check’, the Control Software needs to be installed before
connecting the USB cable to the instrument. Please refer to the software manual part of
this binder to install the software and how to perform a connection check.
Make sure the plate carrier and the optic module transport systems are unlocked (see
chapter 3.1.1 and 3.1.3 above). Put the power switch in the “ON” position.

cable is installed open the PHERAstar FS Control Software and perform the connection check.
