Power-up and testing 
EST3 Installation and Service Manual  6.3 
Cabinet power-up procedure 
Initial power-up 
1.  Energize AC power at 3-PPS/M (-230) Power Supply and 
the 3-BPS/M (-230) Booster Power Supplies. 
2.  Connect batteries to the 3-PPS/M (-230) Power Supply and 
the 3-BPS/M (-230) Booster Power Supplies. 
  While the CPU’s microprocessor is initializing, the LCD 
displays status messages. 
3.  Connect the download cable assembly between the SDU 
computer and CPU connector J5. 
4.  Using the SDU, download the CPU database into the panel 
controller. Refer to the next topic, “Runtime and system 
errors,” should error messages be displayed on the LCD 
module. 
5.  If an Audio Source Unit is part of the system, its database 
must be downloaded in addition to the CPU database. For 
best download performance, we suggest you connect directly 
to the 3-ASU/FT module and download its database in 
single-step mode. 
6.  Clear up any network communications faults between 
cabinets. 
7.  If any Signature controller modules are installed as part of 
the system, their individual databases must be downloaded in 
addition to the CPU database. You will need to restart the 
network for these changes to be effective. 
8.  Correct all the circuit faults. 
9.  Test the system as described in the next section. 
Note: Remember that for a network system, you’ll need to make 
the initial download to each CPU separately, to establish the 
correct cabinet numbers. After the initial download, all further 
downloads can be made from a single panel via the network.
