GENERAL DESCRIPTION The Juice Goose RT-15 is a 15 amp, rack mounted power distribution module that can be turned on and off locally and by way of remote contact closure. It also features a dry contact closure on power activation as well as optional, high performance AC power filtration and protection.
CHASSIS BACK FEATURES AC Power Cord - Insulated 14 AWG power cord with 15 amp (NEMA 5-15P) plug Circuit Breaker - 15 amp Thermal Switched Receptacles (6) - These NEMA 5-15R duplex receptacles are turned on and off with the local or remote control of the RT-15 Unswitched AC Receptacle - Electric power is available from this outlet whenever the RT-15 is plugged in. (See External Fault) Remote Control Terminals - Two position terminals allow dry contact closure remote activation and contact closure output.
Remove the factory installed jumper across the REMOTE INPUT terminal. This terminal should then be connected to a latching switch at the desired remote location. This remote switch should provide only a dry contact closure, without voltage. The RT-15 contains a 12VDC power supply inside the chassis to provide coil latching power for the control relay. No external power supplies are needed other than any required to operate remote control or alarm contacts.
The front of the RT-15 chassis contains one status light (LED) on models that do not include the RX Series protection. Models with the protection circuit have three status lights. TROUBLE SHOOTING The RT-15 is ruggedly constructed from high quality components to give years of dependable power for your equipment. In the unlikely event of poor performance, however, the following checklist is included to aid diagnosing a problem.
