Important information about power
supply to ECX-200
To avoid problems with ECX-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).
