ETA’s line of Conditioned
Power Distribution units are designed to
prevent electrical damage to sensitive
electronic equipment from high ampli­tude/short duration spikes, random
surges, and EMI/RFI noise, which is
inherent in utility power lines. Power
line sources which are not precondi­tioned or filtered can affect reliable
operation of sensitive audio, computer,
and other electronic equipment, and
may cause premature failure, expensive
repairs, or unanticipated replacement
from non-repairable damage.
As inherent problems in utility
AC power lines increase for various
reasons, and the need for noise-free,
conditioned power increases, ETA is
there with the units to protect your valu­able electronic equipment. With present
demands on the power utilities, voltage
spikes, power surges, electrical noise,
and power failures are commonplace.
This "garbage" in the power delivered
can reduce the fidelity of audio systems,

cause premature failure, or result in
extensive damage or destruction of
electronic equipment.
ETA Conditioned Power Dis­tribution units feature a master power
switch, conveniently located on the
front control panel, that switches the
rear panel AC outlets ON and OFF. An
LED next to the master power switch
indicates the power conditioning cir­cuitry is working and the rear panel AC
outlets are powered. Maximum total
wattage input is 1800 watts and the 8
power output receptacles, located on
back panel and one on front panel, are
protected with a 15-amp (total unit) re­settable circuit breaker.
Note: The front panel LED is
normally lit when the power switch is in
the ON position. If the power switch is
ON and the LED is not lit, power may
still be present on the output AC recep­tacles, but the power conditioning cir­cuitry is not working. Do not continue
use of the power conditioning unit and

refer trouble-shooting to a qualified
electronic technician or contact ETA
Customer Service for assistance.

EASY INSTALLATION

The PD9L is easily mounted
into a standard 19-inch rack or placed
into a free-standing position. With the
master power switch in the OFF posi­tion, plug the line cord into a conven­ient AC receptacle. Place the unit’s
power switch into the ON position and
check that the front panel LED is lit.
The lit LED indicates conditioned and
filtered AC power is connected. Then,
with their master power switches in the
OFF position, plug the equipment to be
protected into the PD's rear panel AC
receptacles. Turn on the power switches
of the equipment plugged into the
PD9L..
NOTE: The PD9L is UL recognized
and has a one-year limited warranty.
