Furman RR-15, RR-15NL Reference Guide

RR-15 and RR-15NL Features

The RackRider RR-15 and RR-15NL are the perfect
accessories for any rack-mount system. Install a RR-15 or
RR-15NL in the top slot of your rack, and the eight switched AC
outlets on the rear panel will safely power up all your equipment.
The RR-15 features two slide-out, swiveling light fixtures which
provide discreet illumination of your equipment on stages and in
studios, while a dimmer control (“Rack Lights”) lets you adjust the
lamp brightness to just the right level.

The RR-15 and RR-15NL protect your delicate electronic
equipment by combining a high voltage varistor (MOV) surge and
transient suppressor with an RFI/EMI interference filter. The fast­acting suppression circuit responds in less than a nanosecond,
clamping transient voltages to safe levels. The filter works to
prevent noise from fluorescent lights, certain dimmers, radio
transmitters, and similar sources of “electronic pollution” from
contaminating the AC line and from there, leaking into sensitive
audio, video, or computer circuits.

Maximum Load

The eight circuit breaker protected outlets are rated at 15 Amps,
which is equivalent to 1800 Watts at 120 volts. If the total load on
the RR-15 or RR-15NL (combining all outlets) exceeds 15 Amps,
the circuit breaker (located on the rear panel) will trip, cutting off
power to your rack. If this happens, reduce the load by unplugging
one or more units from the RR-15 or RR-15NL. Then push the
circuit breaker button in to reset it.

Lamps

The RR-15’s lamps pull out easily and may be aimed to
provide the best illumination for your equipment. They come
supplied with 7 Watt night-light bulbs. Replacements are readily
available at most hardware stores or almost anywhere household
light bulbs are sold. Bulbs are easily replaced without removing
the unit from the rack by unscrewing the cap on the end of each
light tube. The caps and light tubes become quite warm to the
touch in normal operation. Be careful not to push the tubes in while
the caps are unscrewed.

If you find that the heat from the tubes is excessive, try
reducing the setting of the Rack Lights knob. As an alternative,
you may wish to substitute 4-Watt bulbs or even colored
Christmas tree bulbs.

Switches

The RR-15 and RR-15NL each have a master switch for the

turn off automatically when the tubes are pushed in.

RR-15-PLUS Enhanced Power Conditioner and Light Module

RR-15-PLUS Features

The RackRider RR-15-PLUS is the perfect accessory for any
rack-mount system. Install an RR-15-PLUS in the top slot of your rack,
and the eight switched AC outlets on the rear panel will power all your
equipment up to a full 15-amp load. The RR-15-PLUS also features a line
voltage monitor that displays incoming voltage in a red, three-digit LED
readout.

The RackRider’s two slide-out, swiveling light fixtures provide
discreet illumination of your equipment on stages, in studios, and in other
dark places. A dimmer control lets you adjust the lamp brightness to just
the right level.

The RR-15-PLUS protects your delicate electronic equipment by
combining a high voltage varistor (MOV) surge and transient suppressor
with an RFI/EMI interference filter. The fast-acting suppression circuit
responds in less than a nanosecond, clamping transient voltages to safe
levels. The filter works to prevent noise from fluorescent lights, certain
dimmers, radio transmitters, and similar sources of “electronic pollution”
from contaminating the AC line and from there, leaking into sensitive
audio, video, or computer circuits.

Maximum Load

The eight circuit breaker protected outlets are rated at 15 amps,
which is equivalent to 1800 watts at 120 volts. If the total load on the
RR-15-PLUS (combining all outlets) exceeds 15 amps, the circuit breaker
(located on the rear panel) will trip, cutting off power to your rack. If
this happens, reduce the load by unplugging one or more units from the

The RR-15-PLUS’s lamps pull out easily and may be aimed to
provide the best illumination for your equipment. They come supplied
with 7 watt night-light bulbs. Replacements are readily available at
most hardware stores or almost anywhere household light bulbs are sold.
Bulbs are easily replaced without removing the unit from the rack by
unscrewing the cap on the end of each light tube. The caps and light tubes
become quite warm to the touch in normal operation. To avoid burning
your fingers, allow the cap to cool completely before unscrewing it.

Be careful not to push the tubes in while the caps are unscrewed. If
you find that the heat from the tubes is excessive, try reducing
the setting of the Rack Lights knob. As an alternative, you may wish to
substitute 4-watt bulbs or even colored Christmas tree bulbs.

Switches

The RR-15-PLUS has a master switch for the rear outlets which glows
when the power is on. The master switch must be on before the lamps can
be turned on. This is done with the “Rack Lights” switch, and by rotating
the dimmer knob clockwise toincrease the lamps’ brightness. The lights
turn off automatically when the tubes are pushed in.
