Introduction

Congratulations on purchasing your Samson PowerStrip, PowerBrite, or PowerBrite 

Pro!  This manual covers three products: the PowerStrip PS10; the PowerBrite PB10; 

and the PowerBrite PB10Pro.  All three of these single-space rack units provide 

multiple outlets for reliable power distribution with 3-point surge and spike 

protection, plus RF (Radio Frequency) filtering.  The three products differ in that the 

PowerBrite and PowerBrite Pro also provide dual front-panel LED lamps (in retractable 

cylinders), with dimmer control, which can be used to fully illuminate your entire 

rack of gear.  In addition, the PB10 and PB10Pro also provide a rear-panel USB socket 

to use with the included LED gooseneck lamp so you can see the back of your 

gear.  For advance  control, the PowerBrite PB10Pro's feature front-panel voltmeter 

and ammeter, each with their own large LED display so you can easily monitor 

the condition of your power source. The steel chassis and solid build construction 

makes the PowerStrip and PowerBrite series reliable tools on the road or in fixed 

installations.

In this manual, you’ll find a more detailed description of the features of your 

PowerStrip PS10, PowerBrite PB10, or PowerBrite PB10Pro, 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. Also, be sure to check out our website (www.samsontech.com)
