ETA’s line of
Conditioned Power
Distribution units are designed to
prevent electrical damage to sensitive
electronic equipment from high
amplitude/short duration spikes,
random surges, and EMI/RFI noise,
which is inherent in utility power lines.
Power line sources which are not
preconditioned or filtered can affect
reliable operation of sensitive audio,
computer, and other electronic
equipment, and may cause premature
failure, expensive repairs, or unan-
ticipated replacement from non-
repairable damage.
As inherent problems in utility AC
power lines increase for various
reasons, and the need for noise-free,
conditioned power increases, ETA is
there with the units to protect your
valuable electronic equipment. With
present demands on the power utilities,
voltage spikes, power surges, electri-
cal noise, and power failures are
commonplace. This "garbage" in the
power delivered can reduce the fidelity
of audio systems, cause premature
failure, or result in extensive damage
or destruction of electronic equipment.
ETA Conditioned Power Distribu-
tion units feature a master power switch,
conveniently located on the front control
panel, that switches the rear panel AC
outlets ON and OFF. An LED next to
the master power switch indicates the
power conditioning circuitry is working
and the rear panel AC outlets are
powered. Maximum total wattage input
is 1800 watts and the 8 power output
receptacles are protected with a 15-
amp (total unit) resettable circuit
breaker.
Note: The front panel LED is
normally lit when the power switch is in
the ON position. If the power switch is
ON and the LED is
not lit, power may
still be present on the output AC
receptacles, but the power conditioning
circuitry is not working. Do not continue
use of the power conditioning unit and
refer trouble-shooting to a qualified
electronic technician or contact ETA
Customer Service for assistance.
EASY INSTALLATION
The PD8 and PD8L is easily mounted
into a standard 19-inch rack or placed
into a free-standing position. With the
PD master power switch in the OFF
position, plug the line cord into a
convenient AC receptacle. Place the
PD8 power switch into the ON position
and check that the front panel LED is lit.
The lit LED indicates conditioned and
filtered AC power is connected. Then,
with their master power switches in the
OFF position, plug the equipment to be
protected into the PD's rear panel AC
receptacles. Turn on the power switches
of the equipment plugged into the PD8.
