Owner`s manual

Operating Instructions
1. Install in a standard 19" rack or free-standing position.
2. Connect Power Distribution power cord into a 20 amp,
120 volt wall outlet (15 amp for Model PD11SS).
3. Plug sensitive electrical equipment into conditioned
outlets. All models have an additional protected outlet on
the front panel.
4. Move power outlet switch to "ON" position to provide
power to electrical equipment.
5. For illumination, pull out light tubes (PD11LP/LVP/LVSP)
and move light switch to "HI" or "LOW" position.
IMPORTANT! Be sure light switch is in "OFF"
position when light tubes are recessed.
6. Digital voltmeter readout (PD11VP/LVP/LVSP) is
calibrated to nominal 117V at the factory. No adjustment
necessary.
7. Digital voltmeter readout automatically displays
incoming voltage when power cord is connected.
Power Problems
Standard AC outlets often supply raw and unprocessed
power that not only can diminish the clarity of audio signals
and cause premature failure of parts, it can completely de-
stroy your valuable equipment.
Power problems such as spikes, line surges and noise
interference transmit through all standard electrical lines and
affect power quality: therefore, affecting you.
Solutions
Conditioned Power Distribution can eliminate such prob-
lems from affecting you. As it filters the line voltage from your
AC outlets, eliminating noise and interference, such as radio
frequency interference (RFI) and electromagnetic interfer-
ence (EMI), it will reduce the residual noise in the system,
which will enhance audio clarity.
Installation Requirements
PD11P, PD11VP, PD11LP, PD11SP, PD11LVP, PD11LVSP
Plug unit into power source and observe status of four
"Protection" light emitting diodes. The (green) “1st Stage”,
“2nd Stage”, and “GROUND OK” L.E.D.’s should normally
be illuminated and the (red) “FAULT” L.E.D. should be off.
When these indications are present, test the power “On/Off”
switch which will illuminate to indicate that power is being
supplied to the switched outlets on the rear of the unit.
A. The “1st Stage” and “2nd Stage” L.E.D.’s indicate that
both the input (1st) and output (2nd) stages of circuit
protection are active.
B. The “GROUND OK” L.E.D. indicates that the chassis
is connected to the ground wire of the supply outlet.
C. Fault conditions are represented by the following
indications:

NOTE: (X) = “ON” ( ) = “OFF”
NOTE: On the PD11SS Model a green L.E.D. located on the
front panel is illuminated (indicating “Protection On” status)
when unit is plugged into a power source ensuring input and
output stages of circuit protection are active.
Quick Step Pre-Set Selection for Sequential Models
Step 1: Hold down OFF/ON switch simultaneously until
L.E.D.’s flash together. If unit was
previously set in a manual mode, all channel
L.E.D.’s will be ON rather than ON/OFF L.E.D.
flashing. Assume they are flashing and
proceed to next step.
Step 2: While flashing, press ON button to step through
the four (1,5,10,30 seconds) pre-sets.
Step 3: Stop on desired pre-set.
Step 4: Press OFF/ON switch simultaneously.
Step 5: To test sequential selection press ON button.
Step 6: Press OFF button to return to sequential OFF
Position.
Quick Step Manual Selection
Step 1: Hold down OFF/ON switch simultaneously until
L.E.D.’s flash together. If unit was previously
set in a manual mode, all L.E.D.’s will be ON
rather than ON/OFF L.E.D. flashing. Assume
they are flashing and proceed to next step.
Step 2: While flashing, press ON button to step through
the four (1,5,10,30 seconds) pre-sets.
Step 3: Stop at channel four (4).
Step 4: Press ON button one more time. All channel
L.E.D.’s should now be lighted.
Step 5: Press ON to start time sequence from 5 to 240
seconds. Press OFF to stop time sequence.
(Exits at 240 seconds.)
Step 6: To test manual sequential selection press ON
button.
Step 7: Press OFF button to return to sequential
OFF position.
Quick Step To Clear Unit
Step 1: Hold down OFF/ON switches simultaneously
until L.E.D.’s flash together. If unit was
previously set in a manual mode, all L.E.D.’s will
be ON rather than ON/OFF L.E.D. flashing.
Assume they are flashing and proceed to next
step.
Step 2: Step through channels stopping at one or
1 second.
Step 3: Press OFF/ON switches together.
Step 4: Test — same as above
Audio Conditioned Power Distribution is also designed to
protect electronic equipment from potentially damaging high-
voltage spikes and surges.
Sequencing Audio Conditioned Power Distribution is de-
signed to initiate a turn-on cycle, energizing one circuit
immediately with remaining circuits energizing in a delayed
fashion. This allows circuits to stabilize when powering up and
down eliminating that on-rush of power and potential damage
to equipment at output receptacle.
