FRONT PANEL 

 

Combination On/Off Switch and Circuit Breaker 

– The rocker switch 

located on the right side of the chassis is a dual function component. It 
is normally used to manually turn the RACKPOWER on and off. In the 
event of a prolonged current load in excess of fifteen amps (twenty 
amps on the 20A models) the circuit breaker will trip to shut off power. 
(See the Troubleshooting section of this manual.) 
.  
 

AC Power Meter 

- The dual function, digital meter uses red LEDs to 

report power line voltage and the current load being drawn from the 
RACKPOWER. A push button to the left of the meter toggles the meter 
display between voltage and amperage. Voltage metering is displayed 
to the nearest one tenth volt. Amperage is displayed to the nearest one 
tenth amp through a range from 0.4 amps to 25.0 amps. The display 
will flash as a warning when voltage is greater than 139VAC or amper-
age is greater than 13.9A (18.9A for the 20A model) are reached.  
 

USB Power Port 

- The USB connector on the front of the chassis pro-

vides 5 volts of DC current for use powering a plug-in LED light or for 
charging an electronic device such as an MP3 player or cell phone. 
This port is specially designed to charge iPhones and most other smart 
phone models. (A USB Port is also located on the back of the chassis.) 
 

AC Receptacle 

- The AC receptacle on the left of the chassis is pow-

ered whenever the RACKPOWER is plugged into a live AC power 
source. It is rated at 15 amps or 20 amps and provides all the AC power 
protection of the RACKPOWER. 
 

Surge Protection OK

 - The RACKPOWER 100 features a replaceable 

surge protection (RSP) module that includes three surge protection 
components (MOVs). The white LED on the front panel is connected to 
the primary MOV and is lit to indicate the surge protection components 
are undamaged and functioning.

 

In the event of MOV damage due to 

AC power line fault or due to excessive wear over an extended period, 
that LED will no longer be lit, indicating surge protection may no longer 
be working. Note: It is possible, but unlikely, the two secondary MOVs 
are no longer protecting but the primary one is. In that case, the RSP 
surge protector is still working, but with a lower capacity to sustain 
power line surges. It is also possible that the primary MOV is no longer 
functioning, causing the protection LED to go out while the two secon-
dary MOVs are still working. In either case, it is advisable to replace the 
RSP. (See the Trouble Shooting section of this manual.)
