Guided Tour - 

PowerBrite PB9 Front Panel

1:  Light switch - Use this to turn the fluorescent light in the slide-out
drawer on or off.  When on, the LED inside this switch lights red.

2:  Outlets switch - Use this to turn the rear-panel outlets on or off.
When on, the LED inside this switch lights red.

3:  Slide-out drawer - Contains the PowerBrite’s fluorescent light, clear
plastic diamond lens and back-lit inlay.  Use both fingers to press gently
on the two “Push” squares on the front and the drawer will slide out
towards you.  Use the Light switch (see #1 above) to turn the light on or
off.  The light uses a standard 4 watt fluorescent bulb which is readily
available at most hardware stores or electrical suppliers (see page  10
in this manual for information on how to change the bulb).  To lock the
drawer back into place, gently slide the drawer back in (again using both
fingers on the “Push” squares) until it clicks.  See the inside back cover
of this manual for information about our “Neo-Rack” service which allows
the inlay to be replaced with a custom facility logo or name.

4:  Unswitched convenience outlet - This 3-pin AC outlet is active
whenever the PB9 is plugged in, regardless of the setting of the Outlets
switch (see #2 above).

5:  Circuit breaker- This circuit breaker will trip whenever the total load
on the PB9 (all rear-panel switched outlets plus the front-panel
unswitched convenience outlet) exceeds 15 amps.  To reset it, unplug
one or more devices so as to reduce the load and gently press the circuit
breaker in until you hear it click.
