Component Overview
Figure 2.1 shows portions of a 115V vertical SPC. Horizontal units have the
same components described below.
The RJ-45 serial port is used for the cable connection to an appliance.
The Input Current digital LED indicates the total cumulative load in amperes
(A) of all the devices attached to the SPC ports. The LED readout increases in
0.5A increments up to 9.5A. Above 10A, the LED increases in 1.0A increments.
All SPC models indicate an overload by displaying
oL
at 30.5A, which is the
maximum rating of the SPC unit without considering the capacity of the cord set.
The SPC800/810 has 8 power output connectors, which are called ports. The
SPC1600/1610 has 16 ports. Each port supplies power to an attached device,
and can be individually turned on and off. See the port specifications in
Appendix B for more information.
An LED adjacent to each port will illuminate when that port is powered.
