FEATURE OVERVIEW
Switched Outlets Pushbutton:
1 of 2 Triggers that can activate a
turn-on or shutdown sequence for
Outlet Bank 2 and High-Current outlets.
LED Indicators:
Status indicator lights
for Switched Outlets,
DC Voltage Trigger,
Ground OK,
Line Fault
and Unsafe Voltage
Meter Light Dimmer:
Controls brightness
of the Voltmeter
backlighting.
High-Current Outlet Bank:
Two delayed outlets designed for
high-current components such as
amplifiers and powered subwoofers.
The current available to connected
equipment is not limited by the
noise filtration components.
Voltage Sense
Trigger Input:
1/8 inch Mini-Plug jack.
Connect to a remote trigger
device that provides 12VDC to
trigger a startup/shutdown
sequence. This is the second
trigger that will activate the
PD11VBC turn-on or shutdown
sequence. (See switched out-
lets pushbutton on front panel).
Voltage Sense
Trigger Output:
1/8 inch Mini-Plug jack.
Connecting a 12VDC trig-
ger to the Voltage Sense
Circuit will allow the same
signal to pass through the
Voltage Sense Output to
control the startup/shut-
down of an additional
device.
High-Current
Outlets Turn-On
Switch:
3-position slide switch.
Allows adjustment of
the Turn-On delay for
the two High-Current
Outlets. Choose
between 0, 10 and 30
seconds.
Outlet Bank 2 Turn-
Off Switch:
3-position slide switch.
Allows adjustment of the
Turn-Off delay for Outlet
Bank 2. Choose
between Always-On,
10 and 30 seconds.
Satellite Coax Jacks:
Two pairs of gold plated
F-Connectors optimized
for Satellite TV signal
line protection.
Cable TV Coax Jacks:
Two pairs of gold plated
F-Connectors optimized for
Cable TV and non-ampli-
fied Rooftop Antenna signal
line protection.
Telephone Jacks:
In/Out connections
for telephone line or
pay-per-view line
protection.
Voltmeter:
Backlit analog meter
measures incoming
voltage source from
0-150 VAC.
Convenience Outlet:
Provides a quick convenient
way to plug in components
such as camcorders and
video game systems.
IEC Main
Power
Receptacle:
Power cord
connects to this
receptacle.
15A Circuit Breaker:
Opens in the event that
equipment plugged into
the PD11VBC draws too
much current. When the
white button of the breaker
is visible, the breaker has
opened. Reduce the load
and push to reset.
Ground Lug:
Provides a
common
grounding point
for equipment
with separate
ground leads.
Filtered Outlet Bank 1:
Four Always-On, Balanced
Double L filtered outlets for
audio/video components that
require constant power to
maintain programmed settings.
Filtered Outlet Bank 2:
Four switched, Balanced
Double L filtered outlets for
audio/video components that
do not require constant power.
FEATURE DETAILS
Coaxial Line Protection
All coaxial cable sheaths from outdoors must be grounded to the building grounding electrode system
where they enter the building (per applicable NEC/CEC code). A driven ground rod is not adequate.
The PD11VBC provides application-specific protection for your satellite and cable TV equipment. Two lines of protection are
provided for each type. The satellite connections are for coaxial cables connected to a DBS (single or dual LNB) satellite
dish. The antenna connection is for a non-amplified rooftop antenna or cable TV line. The Additional TV connection pro-
tects the equipment plugged into the PD11VBC from “backdoor” surges in situations where the video signal runs to anoth-
er room for a downline TV.
Cable TV (Including HDTV)
– TV tuners operate at approximately 10 millivolts (0.01 V) and utilize the frequency spec-
trum of 50Mhz to 950Mhz. The clamping level of the PD11VBC’s cable TV protection circuitry is 700 millivolts (0.7 volts).
That’s less than 1 volt above normal operating levels. The circuitry is shielded to prevent interference and has been opti-
mized to have less than 1dB of signal loss throughout the entire 50Mhz to 950Mhz range.
Satellite
- Satellite dish LNB’s can require up to 24 volts to operate and utilize the frequency range of 950Mhz to 2.2Ghz.
The clamping level of the PD11VBC’s satellite protection circuitry is 27 volts - just 3 volts above the maximum operating
voltage. The circuitry is shielded to prevent interference and has been optimized to have less than 1dB of signal loss
throughout the entire 950Mhz to 2.2Ghz range.
Telephone Line Protection
Satellite TV receivers require a telephone line connection for Pay-Per-View services. The PD11VBC also provides surge pro-
tection for this line. One pair of RJ-11/45 compatible telephone jacks is provided for this. The circuitry utilizes auto-reset-
ting PTCRs and solid-state SIDACtors™ for reliability and unsurpassed protection. The clamping level of the PD11VBC’s
telephone protector is 260 volts. This will allow typical ring voltage (90-130VAC) and operating battery voltage (-48DC)
to pass through the circuit and still protect the modem in your satellite receiver from damage.
Please note:
The protection circuitry will not work if the phone lines are reversed. The incoming phone cable must be
connected to the "LINE" jack and the cable to the audio/video equipment must be connected to the "EQUIP" jack.
Power Cord
The PD11VBC comes equipped with a UL recognized, 10 foot, IEC320 power cord rated for 120V, 15-Amps, minimum 14
gauge wire and the cord secured to the enclosure with a cord retention bracket. The cord is not intended to be removed.
