 UNPACKING 

AND 

CONNECTING 

 

1.1

 

Carefully unpack the unit and report any shipping damage 
promptly to your Summit dealer and to the carrier. 

 

1.2

 

The MPE-200 is normally shipped set up for 115 volt AC 
(100-125 volts is OK).   

 

For 200-230 and 230-250 volt AC operation, the rear 
panel voltage selector should be set to 240v. The fuses 
should be slow-blow type, 0.8 amp for 90-125v or 0.4 
amp for 200-250v. 

 

 

ATTENTION: 

      UTILISER  UN  FUSUBLE  DE RECHANGE DE MEME TYPE 

DE 0.8 A - 90-125v, 0.4 A - 200-250v. 

 

ATTENTION: 

      DEBRANCHER AVANT DE REMPLACER LE FUSIBLE. 

 

For more information on fuses and voltage selection, see 
section 8 at the back of this manual. 

 

1.3

 

Turn the unit on by using the rocker switch at the rear power 
entry. For rack mounting, leave this power switch on, and use 
the front panel Sleep control to turn off or on. See section 7 
for details. 

 

1.4

 

Due to its Class A circuit design, the MPE-200 will run warm. 
Its quiet, low-speed fan ensures safe operation over a wide 
range of ambient temperatures. 

 

 

  

 

Be careful not to block the vent holes on the right side  
panel or the fan opening on the rear of the MPE-200.
