Safety

•Electrical Hazard: For indoor use only.

•CAUTION - Do not install this device if there is not at least 10 meters (30 feet) or more of wire between the electrical outlet and the electrical service panel.

•Risk of electric shock. Do not plug into another relocatable power tap.

•Contains always on receptacles. To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect the unit from the power source before servicing the equipment.

•Overloading. Do not overload the wall outlet where this device is being connected. Do not overload this device. Ensure the total load to this device does not exceed that which is listed in the Specifications section of this manual.

•Power. Ensure this device is connected to a properly grounded AC power source. Further ensure the device is plugged into a source providing the required 120 Vac. Do not use a plug adapter which defeats the ground pin of the AC plug.

•Placement. Do not install this device on any unsteady surface. Do not install this device on any heat source.

•Water and Moisture. Do not use this product near any source of water, or in an environment where the relative humidity may exceed 95% (non-condensing)

•Polarization. This device has a polarized AC line plug having one grounding pin. This plug will only fit into the wall outlet in one orientation. This is a safety feature. Do not remove the round grounding pin.

•System Ground Terminal. The unit provides for the connection of grounding wires from all of your equipment to a central terminal lug. This ground connection eliminates ground loop problems; tie all component grounds to this screw to break any possible ground loops that can cause an audible noise.

•Servicing. There are no user-serviceable components within this device. Removal of the cover from this device may present a shock hazard, and/or void the warranty.

•Damage Requiring Service. If any type of damage occurs to this device, immediately disconnect it from the wall outlet. Notify APC Technical Support or Customer Service at once.

•Replacement Parts. There are no components within this device that can or should be removed/replaced unless it is by an APC-qualified technician.

Installation

Install the Unit

Install the unit on a flat surface

The unit may be installed on any flat surface capable of supporting at least 27.3 kg (60 lbs).

Remove the mounting brackets.

Attach the stabilizing feet. Attach the stabilizing feet (included) to the bottom of the unit before placing it on a flat surface to avoid scratching the surface and to protect the unit.

Install the unit in a rack or enclosure

Use four screws to secure the mounting brackets to the rails in the rack or enclosure.

Connect A/C Power

Connect the unit to A/C power

Note: If the unit is connected to A/C power, the unit is actively monitoring input power, but is operating in Standby mode.

Use the A/C power cord to connect the unit to A/C power. If the unit is functioning properly, the display will illuminate.

Connect components to the unit

Before connecting components to the unit, determine which components will utilize the ALWAYS ON outlets, the SWITCHED outlet, and the DELAY outlets. Then, connect components to the outlets on the back panel of the unit.

APC A/V G-Type Rack Power Filter: Installation

Always On outlets. The ALWAYS ON outlets supply power to the connected components, even if the unit is turned off. If A/C power is lost, and then re-applied to the unit, components connected to the ALWAYS ON outlets will turn on immediately, as power will be supplied to them immediately.

Switched outlet. The SWITCHED outlet supplies power to the connected equipment while the unit is on. If the unit shuts off, it will not supply power to equipment connected to the SWITCHED outlet. If A/C power is lost, and then re-applied to the unit, equipment connected to the SWITCHED outlet will turn on immediately.

Delay outlets. The unit has five delayed outlets. When the unit is turned on, power is immediately applied to the SWITCHED outlet (power was already being supplied to the ALWAYS ON outlets, even though the unit was off). Then, power is applied to each of the DELAYED outlets in sequence, DELAY 1 first, through DELAY 4.

When the unit is turned off, power is disconnected from the delayed outlets in reverse order.

Use the display interface to customize the delay times.
