9 Turning off the EK80 system

You must never turn off the EK80 system by means of the on/off switch on the Processor Unit. You must always close the EK80 program by selecting Exit on the top bar.

Context

When you do not use the EK80 system, turn off the display and the Processor Unit. Use the on/off switch on the power supply, or disengage the circuit breakers.

Procedure

Select Exit on the top bar.

Observe that the EK80 program closes down.

Tip

If the EK80 Processor Unit is used as a server with one or more clients connected, a relevant message will appear. We recommend that you turn these clients off first. Closing down the EK80 program with clients connected will take longer time.

If the Processor Unit does not turn itself off automatically, use the functionality provided by the operating system to turn it off manually.

Turn off the display.

If required, refer to the instructions provided by the display manufacturer.

Turn off each transceiver.

The Wide Band Transceiver (WBT) is not fitted with an on/off switch. You can leave the unit permanently turned on. If you are not using the EK80 system for a long period of time, turn off or disconnect the power supply.
