AC Outlets
– The nine outlets (NEMA 5-15R) on the 15A model are
rated for current loads up to 15 amps at 120 volts. The 20A model has
8 NEMA 5-15R and 1 NEMA 5-20R which is rated for a current load of
20A at 120volts. The outlets are rotated and spaced to accommodate
plugging in AC power adapters (a.k.a. “wall warts”).
USB Power Port
- The USB connector on the back of the chassis pro-
vides 5 volts of DC current for use powering a plug-in LED light or for
charging an electronic device such as an MP3 player or cell phone.
This port is specially designed to charge iPhones and most other smart
phone models. (A USB Port is also located on the front of the chassis.)
TROUBLESHOOTING
The RACKPOWER is ruggedly designed and constructed from high
quality components to give years of dependable power for your equip-
ment. It requires neither maintenance nor adjustment. It is unlikely to
malfunction.
The RACKPOWER will not come on or turns itself off.
a. Check the status of the power supplied to the unit. Be sure
AC utility power is available at the location where the unit is plugged in.
b. Check that the circuit breaker is not tripped. If the current
load on the unit exceeds 15 amps (or 20 amps on the 20A model) the
combination power switch and circuit breaker onto the front of the
RACKPOWER will prevent power from passing through the unit. If that
happens, remove sufficient current load to reduce the total to no more
than 15 amps (or 20 amps on the 20A model) , wait approximately 30
seconds after the tripping and place the switch in the up, “on” position.
If an observed problem can not be remedied, particularly if the problem
seems severe or dangerous, discontinue use of, unplug the RACK-
POWER unit and contact Juice Goose directly.
The Surge Protection OK LED is not lit.
(See the “Front Panel” section of this manual.) This could indicate one
or more of the surge protection components in the RACKPOWER are
damaged. While it is possible some level of protection continues, that
protection would be below product specification. In that case, the RSP
surge protection module can be replaced. This is a safe and easy proc-
ess which should be performed by a qualified technician according to
instructions provided by Juice Goose. Replacement RSP modules are
available from Juice Goose at a nominal price. Contact Juice Goose
(
or 713-772-1404) for more information.
