FRONT PANEL
Power On/Off Switch – This lighted rocker switch is located on the left
hand side of the chassis. The switch will light when the RX100 is on.
AC Outlets – ONE unswitched NEMA 5-15R OR NEMA 5-20R rated for
current loads up to 15 amps OR 20 amps at 120 volts.
Indicator Lights
Power – This blue light indicates the RX100 is connected to mains
power and the ON switch is engaged.
Protection OK – This blue light indicates the RX100 protection circuit is
functioning and the main AC power source is correct.
External Fault – In the event of continuous high voltage or incorrect
wiring of the line, neutral or ground leads supplying the RX100, the unit
will disconnect equipment plugged into it. The blue Protection OK light
will be OFF and the white External Fault indicator will light.
REAR PANEL
AC Outlets –
Seven NEMA 5-15R OR 5-20R outlets (one unswitched) rated for cur-
rent loads up to 15 amps or 20 amps at 120 volts.
Breaker
–
A resettable, thermal circuit breaker protects the unit from
current overloads. If the breaker trips check for a malfunction in equip-
ment plugged into the RX100. Also check to be certain the total current
requirement of the equipment plugged into the RX100 does not exceed
15 amps or 20 amps depending on the model.
The circuit breaker may be reset. Wait 30 seconds after the breaker
trips, turn off the main unit power switch and push the center button
on the breaker back into its original position. Then turn on the main
power switch.
INTERNAL PROTECTION COMPONENTS
The RX100 is one of the RX Series products which featured patented
Hybrid AC Filter technology to clean up both Normal Mode and Common
Mode noise without contaminating the ground. Normal Mode noise oc-
curs between the line and neutral leads of an electric power circuit.
Common Mode noise occurs between either the line or neutral and the
safety ground lead.
UL 1449 limits the amount of current that can pass between line and
safety ground to 0.5 milli amperes. This is called " leakage current". The
Hybrid AC Filter process control board, by using a differential trans-
former and capacitors, acts as a low pass, "line conditioning" filter
which performs in the same way as a series mode inductor. These com-
ponents, along with a capacitor between neutral and ground comprise
