Power Button
Press and hold for 2 sec-
onds to turn Bank 2 and
Bank 3 outlets ON or OFF.
This switch is bypassed if
the rear panel DC Trigger
input is being used.
Power LEDs
Indicates the status of the rear panel
outlets. LEDs for each outlet bank
will be lit when the outlets are turned
ON. They will flash during the start-
up and shutdown process.
Circuit Breaker
Automatically opens
when the current load
is greater than 15
Amps. Push to reset.
Ground Lug
Provides a common
grounding point for
equipment with sep-
arate ground leads.
Main Power
Must be plugged
into a properly
wired & ground-
ed 3-wire outlet
Wiring OK LED
Normally On. Indicates
that the wall outlet is
properly grounded and
Line/Neutral polarity is
correct.
Meter Dimmer
Pushbutton control for
meter LED brightness.
Cycles between Off,
Low, Medium and High.
Unsafe Voltage Indicator
Normally Off. Flashes to indicate that the incoming
line voltage is unsafe and the unit has disconnect-
ed the power to protect your equipment.

Outlet
Provides a quick con-
venient way to plug in
components such as
camcorders and video
game systems.
Outlet Bank 1
Four always on outlets
. Power will only
be turned off under a fault condition.
(See specifications for over-voltage and
under-voltage thresholds) Power is
cleaned by a three-stage balanced Pi fil-
ter which also provides noise isolation
from Outlet Banks 2 and 3.
Outlet Bank 2
Four switched outlets
controlled by the
front panel Power Button or the DC Trigger
input. Bank 2 will turn on immediately and
turn off after 10 seconds. EMI/RFI noise fil-
tration is provided by a three-stage balanced
Pi filter which also provides noise isolation
from Outlet Banks 1 and 3.
Outlet Bank 3
Two switched, high current
outlets
controlled by the
front panel Power Button or
the DC Trigger input. Bank 3
has a 5 second turn on delay
and turns off immediately.
The High Current outlets pro-
vide power from a low
impedance noise filtration
circuit that does not limit the
current to your equipment.
Its output is noise isolated
from all other outlet banks.
Voltage Sense Trigger Input
3.5mm (1/8”) Mini-Plug jack.
Connect to a remote trigger device
that uses a DC output to trigger a
startup/shutdown sequence. This
bypasses the front panel power
switch.
Important, Please Note:
The unit needs to be plugged in,
and in the powered OFF state
before inserting the DC input trig-
ger mini-plug.
LAN Jacks
Protection circuits
for 10/100 baseT
Ethernet lines.
Incoming LAN line
MUST
be plugged

Phone Jacks
Protection circuits for
standard telephone or pay-
per-view lines. Phone cir-
cuit is auto-resetting.
Incoming phone cord
MUST
be plugged into the

Note to CATV Installers:
This reminder is provided to call attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC. That article provides specific
guidelines for proper grounding.It specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding
system of the building and as close to the point of entry as practical.
