Detailed instructions for starting, operating, and
receiving this equipment are contained in the
Damage Control System Console technical
manual.
Power Application
The DCC is energized from the fuse and CB
panel. The three power supply panel switches (S1,
S2, and S3) should be in the ON position. Placing
the MAIN POWER CB (CB1) in the ON position
energizes the DCC. All power supply indicator
lights should be on. Since application of power
to the console may cause some circuits to alarm,
all flashing push-button indicators should be
depressed to reset the alarm circuitry.
