Power Button
Press and hold for 2 sec-
onds to turn Bank 2 and
Bank 3 outlets ON or OFF.
This switch is bypassed if
the rear panel DC Trigger
input is being used.
Power LEDs
Indicates the status of the rear panel
outlets. LEDs for each outlet bank
will be lit when the outlets are turned
ON. They will flash during the start-
up and shutdown process.
Circuit Breaker
Automatically opens

is greater than 15
Amps. Push to reset.
Ground Lug

grounding point for
equipment with sep-
arate ground leads.

Outlet Bank 1
Four always on outlets.
Power will only be
turned off under a fault condition. (See speci-
fications for over-voltage and under-voltage
thresholds) Power is cleaned by a two-stage
balanced Pi filter which also provides noise
isolation from Outlet Banks 2 and 3.
Outlet Bank 2
Four switched outlets
controlled by the
front panel Power Button or the DC Trigger
input. Bank 2 will turn on immediately and
turn off after 10 seconds. EMI/RFI noise fil-
tration is provided by a two-stage balanced
Pi filter which also provides noise isolation
from Outlet Banks 1 and 3.
Outlet Bank 3
Two switched, high current outlets
controlled
by the front panel Power Button or the DC
Trigger input. Bank 3 has a 5 second turn on
delay and turns off immediately. The High
Current outlet provides power from a low
impedance noise filtration circuit that does not
limit the current to your equipment. Its output
is noise isolated from all other outlet banks.
Voltage Sense Trigger Input
3.5mm (1/8”) Mini-Plug jack.
Connect to a remote trigger device
that uses a DC output to trigger a
startup/shutdown sequence. This
bypasses the front panel power
switch.
Important, Please Note:
The unit needs to be plugged in,
and in the powered OFF state
before inserting the DC input trig-
ger mini-plug.

Voltmeter
Ten segment LED voltmeter indicates
voltages between 90–135VAC. If line
voltage drops below 90VAC, the first LED
will flash slowly to indicate an under-volt-
age condition. If line voltage exceeds
145VAC, the first 9 LED’s turn off and the
last LED (Red) will flash slowly to indi-
cate an over voltage condition

Note to CATV Installers:
This reminder is provided to call attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC. That article provides specific
guidelines for proper grounding.It specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding
system of the building and as close to the point of entry as practical.
