MVS1200P4 The units are ready for transport. Be sure to return lids to auxiliary equipment case and check area for any loose equip-ment.

Alternate Power Configuration Power for the unit can be from a stan-dard AC power source OR from a DC battery in a vehicle. For standard AC, the plug shown at the lower left is removed from the inverter plug and plugged directly into the AC power source. This plug powers the power strip inside the case. When AC power is available, the cord lights indi-cate such and the equipment in the bot-tom of the rack will indicate the AC volt-age—e.g., 117 VAC as shown. During an absence of AC power, a spe-cial power cord is supplied that can con-nect the battery to the equipment rack. Once that is done, connecting the power cord to the Inverter as shown at left and flipping the switch on the Exeltech to ON, will provide AC Voltage to all equipment. Ensure the Inverter is OFF when not in use.
