Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing your Samson PowerStrip, PowerBrite, or
PowerBrite Pro! This manual covers three products: the PowerStrip
PS9; the PowerBrite PB9; and the PowerBrite Pro7. All three of these
single-space rack units provide multiple outlets for reliable power
distribution with 3-point surge and peak protection, plus RF (Radio
Frequency) filtering. The three products differ in that the PowerBrite and
PowerBrite Pro also provide a front-panel 4 watt fluorescent light (tucked
away in a lockable slide-out drawer) which can be used to fully illuminate
your entire rack of gear. The PowerBrite Pro7 also provides a rear-panel
12 volt DC lamp connector and a front-panel voltmeter and ammeter.
In addition, both the PowerBrite PB9 and PowerBrite Pro7 allow you to
substitute your own custom facility logo or band name in the front panel
inlay. (See the inside back cover of this manual for more information.)
In this manual, you’ll find a more detailed description of the features of
your PowerStrip PS9, PowerBrite PB9, or PowerBrite Pro7, as well as
instructions for its use and complete specifications. You’ll also find a
warranty card enclosed—don’t forget to fill it out and mail it in! This will
enable you to receive online technical support and will allow us to send
you updated information about other Samson products in the future.
SPECIAL NOTE: Should your PowerStrip PS9, PowerBrite PB9, or
PowerBrite Pro7 ever require servicing, a Return Authorization number
(RA) is necessary. Without this number, the unit will not be accepted.
If purchased in the United States, please call Samson at (516) 364-2244
for a Return Authorization number prior to shipping the unit. If
purchased outside the U.S., contact your local Samson dealer for details.
Please retain the original packing material and, if possible, return the unit
in its original carton and packing materials.

WARNING: Though the PowerStrip PS9, PowerBrite PB9, and
PowerBrite Pro7 all provide both surge and peak protection, they
are not designed to protect against major overload situations
such as lightning strikes or connection to incorrect voltage
supplies. In the event of either occurrence, unplug all
connected equipment immediately and have your
PowerStrip PS9, PowerBrite PB9, or PowerBrite Pro7 evaluated
by Samson Technical Support or by an authorized Samson
service center before using it again.
