SPC Installer/User Guide
Connecting the SPC to the CPS
Connect either end of the supplied RJ-45 cable to the connector on the SPC.
Connect the other end to a CPS port.
Connecting the SPC to the Power Source
On 115V units, the power cord is attached to the base of the SPC unit. On 230V
units, you must attach the power cord to the SPC unit before connecting the
SPC to the power source.
Each port powers up sequentially, with a two-second delay between each port,
eliminating a potential blown primary fuse or circuit breaker.
To attach a 230V power cord to the 230V SPC unit:
1. Plug the female end of the power cord firmly into its connector at the
base of the SPC.
2. Use a screwdriver to tighten the two screws on the retention bracket.
To connect the SPC to the power source:
Plug the male end of the SPC power cord into the AC power source.
Connecting Devices to the SPC
To avoid the possibility of noise due to arcing:
Keep the device’s on/off switch in the off position until after it
is plugged into the SPC port.

Log in to the SPC and turn the ports off before connecting the devices to the
SPC. After connecting the devices, turn them on using the SPC.
On 115V units, connect devices to the SPC ports. On 230V units, install a
retention clip on each port. Pull the open prongs out slightly and insert them
into holes on the sides of the SPC adjacent to the port. Then insert the device’s
power cord and gently snap the retention clip over the cord.
WARNING:
The SPC and all attached devices should be powered down before servicing the
unit. Always disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet.
