Power LEDs
Indicates the status of the
rear panel outlets. The LED
outlet bank icon will be lit
when the corresponding out-
lets are turned ON. They will
flash during the startup and
shutdown process.
Power Button
Press and hold for
one second to turn
Bank 2 and Bank 3
outlets ON or OFF.
Wiring OK LED
Normally On. Indicates
that the wall outlet is
properly grounded and
Line/Neutral polarity is
correct.
USB Charging Port
For charging
portable electronic
devices while pro-
tecting them from
unsafe voltages. USB
5V/5x 100 mA or

Gaming Outlet
Convenient front
panel outlet provides
surge protection for
gaming systems, digi-
tal cameras, cam-
corders, and other
devices.
Digital Voltmeter
Digital LED voltmeter indicates the incoming line voltage. If line voltage drops below 90VAC, or if the
line voltage exceeds 142VAC, the display will turn off and the “unsafe voltage” indicator will flash
indicating an unsafe voltage condition.
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.
Unsafe Voltage Indicator
Located in the Voltmeter and
is normally off. Flashes red
to indicate that the incoming
line voltage is unsafe and the
unit has disconnected the
power to protect your equip-
ment.

Ground Lug
Provides a common grounding

ground leads.
Main Power
Must be plugged into a properly
wired & grounded 3-wire outlet.
Universal TV Coaxial Jacks
3 pairs of bidirectional pro-
tection circuits optimized for
satellite, cable, and antenna
TV signal lines.
Phone Jacks
Protection circuits for standard
telephone or pay-per- view
lines. Phone circuit is auto-
resetting. Incoming phone
cord MUST be plugged into
the LINE jack. Patch cords to
the equipment (satellite receiv-
er, digital video recorder, tele-
phone, etc.) MUST be plugged
into the EQUIP jacks.
LAN Jacks
Protection circuits for 10/100
baseT Ethernet lines. Incoming
LAN line MUST be plugged into
the LINE jack. Patch cord to the
equipment MUST be plugged into
the EQUIP jacks. 1 LAN jack goes
to the front panel output jack. 8
wire protection, 50V clamping.
Voltage Sense Trigger
Input
3.5mm (1/8”) mono
mini-plug. Connect to
a remote trigger device
that uses a DC output
to trigger a startup/shut-
down sequence.
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 outlet provides 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
Outlet Bank 2
Four switched outlets with linear filtration technolo-
gy (LiFT) controlled by the front panel Power
Button or the DC Trigger input. Bank 2 will turn on
immediately and turn off after 10 seconds. LiFT
EMI/RFI noise filtration is provided by a two-stage
balanced Pi filter which also provides noise isola-
tion from Outlet Banks 1 and 3.
Outlet Bank 1
Four always-on outlets with linear filtration technolo-
gy (LiFT). Power will only be turned off under a fault
condition. (See specifications for over-voltage and
under-voltage thresholds) Power is cleaned by a
two-stage balanced Pi filter which also provides
noise isolation from Outlet Banks 2 and 3.
