It takes more than 5 seconds for all GT units to be operable after turning on the power supply of GT.
(The time varies according to conditions and the number of connected GT units.)

units to be simultaneously turned on.
If the power supplies of multiple GT units cannot be simultaneously turned on after turning on the power
