AC Mains Power
The Model 760-03 operates directly from 
AC mains power of 100 to 240 V, 50/60 Hz. 
Being a “universal input” device, there are 
no switches to set or jumpers to install to 
match a location’s mains voltage. The unit 
uses a 3-pin IEC 320 C14-type inlet con-
nector to mate with a detachable mains 
cord. All units are supplied with a mains 
cord that has a North-American-standard 
plug (NEMA 5-15L) on one end and an IEC 
320 C13 socket on the other. Units bound 
for other destinations require that the appro-
priate cord be used. The wire colors in the 
mains cord must conform to the internation-
ally recognized color code and should be 
terminated accordingly:
Connection
Wire Color
Neutral (N)
Light Blue
Line (L)
Brown
Protective Earth (E)
Green/Yellow
Safety Warning: The Model 760-03 
does not contain an AC mains discon-
nect switch; the AC mains cord plug 
serves as the disconnection device. 
Safety considerations require that the 
plug and associated outlet be easily 
accessible to allow rapid disconnec-
tion of AC mains power should it prove 
necessary.
As soon as mains power is applied the 
Model 760-03 will perform a power-up 
sequence. The two LEDs on the right side 
of the front panel will individually light in a 
rapid right-to-left test sequence. Then the 
LEDs will flash in cadence while the firm-
ware loads into the Model 760-03’s main 
logic device. After just a few seconds initial 
system operation will commence and the 
two LEDs will perform their intended func-
tions. Once operating data is being inter-
changed with the one or more connected 
Model 77 or Model 71 Control Consoles 
the control console status LED will also 
light. The sync status LED will light if a valid 
sync source has been recognized. The sync 
status LED will flash if a valid sync source 
is not recognized.
Also upon application of mains power, all 
connected Model 77 units will go through 
a power-up sequence, lighting each of its 
LEDs in succession. Using its 4-digit dis-
play, each Model 77 will then momentarily 
display its address, its software version, and 
the main and logic device software versions 
of the associated Model 760-03.
All connected Model 71 units will also go 
through a power-up sequence after mains 
power is applied to the Model 760-03. Each 
of the Model 71’s three LEDs will light 
momentarily. After these LEDs have been 
lit, the device address will be shown briefly 
using the dim and reference level LEDs, 
as shown in Figure 9 in the Configuration 
section. When this is complete the Model 71 
will begin normal operation and its status 
LED will light if communication is estab-
lished with the Model 760-03. If the Model 
71’s status LED does not light check to see 
if there is a device address conflict among 
all connected control consoles and that all 
cables are connected properly.
Should an error be detected during the 
start-up process the two LEDs on the Model 
760-03’s front panel will continue to flash in 
cadence indefinitely. On the Model 77 units 
a diagnostic code may be displayed. Refer 
to the Technical Notes section of this user 
guide for details.
