i3™Three-Stage Circuit Topology — Power Protection for the Real World
iPOWER's i3™(instantaneous, impenetrable, and virtually indestructible) circuit topology represents
a breakthrough in power protection technology. A three-stage design comprised of Gas Tubes, Metal
Oxide Varistors (MOV's) and a proprietary Low-Impedance In-Line Filter, the i3
instantaneous protection.
Most MOV-based surge protection devices use a circuit topology that is sacrificial in nature. Like an
air bag in an automobile, they are designed to “blow up,” sacrificing their internal circuitry in order
to protect the connected equipment during a severe surge event. Sooner or later they fail in the line
of duty leaving connected equipment unprotected. As a radical departure from this philosophy, all

®
most rigorous standard for voltage let through is 330 volts, Niles iPOWER™products

protection technology have a consistent clamping level of less than 300V. In addition, all
™
products clamp at a mere 40V over peak standard line voltage (ANSI/IEEE C62.45
6000V 100 kHz Ring Wave Test), adding a level of protection rarely found in the industry.
iQ™Optimal Q Noise Filtration
All of the Power — None of the Noise. Computers, household appliances, and RF broadcasts can
introduce "noise" onto the AC power line, obscuring audio detail and video resolution. By their very
nature, conventional AC power line noise filtration circuits limit electrical current flow, stealing the
“punch” from high-current power amplifiers. The Niles iPOWER iQ™optimal Q impulse noise filtration circuitry simultaneously achieves both noise reduction and the proper power line loading
necessary for dynamic performance. Through careful research and with the deployment of
advanced electrical components, a sophisticated
design that varies the Q of the circuit topology was
created. With this design, iPOWER
an outstanding 50dB of common mode rejection and
60dB of differential mode rejection—without current

features such as true line diagnostics and feedback, and a versatile dual-zone trigger system which
responds to 12V DC 200mA.
Real Line Diagnostics
Your AC-6+ is equipped with a sophisticated set of line diagnostic indicators. These indicators not only
ensure that the AC-6+ is working, but also let you know that the wiring in your house has been installed
properly. This is particularly useful in older homes where electrical systems may have been installed at
different times during the life of the home.
When illuminated, the Ground OK LED on the AC-6+ indicates that the house wiring is properly
grounded. If the LED does not illuminate, there is a line problem. Without a proper ground, your
AC-6+ will not be able to provide protection from electrical surges and spikes. DO NO

T OPER-
MINATE, DISCONNECT THE UNIT IMMEDIATELY.
When illuminated, the LINE OK LED on the AC-6+ indicates that the wall outlet does not have a line
problem such as polarity inversion. If the LED does not illuminate, there is a line problem. This is
common, especially in older homes. Call your electrician to have the line repaired. DO NO
T OPERATE YOUR AC-6+ WITH A LINE PROBLEM. IF THE LINE OK LED DOES NOT
ILLUMINATE, DISCONNECT THE UNIT IMMEDIATELY.
The Switched LED on the AC-6+ illuminates when the Power Button is activated indicating that the
Switched outlets are ON. In addition, when the Switched LED is ON, the Triggered outlets are in
stand-by mode and can be automatically powered on or off using the AC-6+’s Trigger feature.

Page 9
When the Power Button is not initiated, the Switched LED does not illuminate, indicating that there
is no power at the Switched Outlets. Additionally, the Trigger feature of the AC-6+ will be
disabled so that the Triggered outlets cannot be automatically powered on or off, regardless of
whether there is 12 volts present at the 12 Volt Trigger Inputs.
UL 1449 Second Edition Listing
The UL 1449 Second Edition procedure is considered to be the most rigorous and demanding series
of tests for surge protection devices in the world. In order for a surge protection device to obtain this
UL certification, it must pass a battery of “torture” tests ensuring that the product will meet a set of
established safety and performance standards. Your AC-6+ is UL 1449 Second Edition listed.

PLANNING YOUR SYSTEM
Think about which components need to work together, and place them in close proximity to one
another. You may also want to consider putting frequently handled components in the most convenient locations. Decisions about triggering options for your AC-6+ will depend on many factors
including the type of components in the system and whether they are self-controlled or part of a
multi room or whole-house system. By carefully planning the system’s architecture in advance,
your AC-6+ can be integrated into any configuration you choose.
IMPORTANT NOTE

Placement
It is recommended that the AC-6+ be placed in a location easily reached when manually
operating the other controls in the system. There should be a clear line of sight between the
operator and the unit to allow easy user feedback of system status. The AC-6+ should be placed on
a flat, stable shelf or platform or, if desired, it can be wall mounted. See the following section for
directions on wall mounting. IMPORTANT: Be sure to follow the "Safety Precautions" in the front
of this manual to ensure proper product performance and safety.
Wall Mounting
Once you have decided where your AC-6+ should be placed, you may wish to permanently mount
it in that location. Mounting screw slots are provided on all AC Series iPOWER
purposes. On the back of each unit you will find a series of L-shaped slots designed to
accommodate mounting screws. The L-shape of the openings allows for both vertical and
horizontal positioning of the unit. Additionally because the screw hole distances are uniform you
can rotate the unit without having to reposition the screws (see illustration).
After you’ve located the desired positioning you can mark the distance between the screw locations
using the special indents found on your AC iPOWER
™
unit (see illustration).

Always On Outlet
For the Always On outlet, power will be routed to attached components at all times, regardless of
whether the Power Button on the AC-6+ is initiated or not. This outlet is appropriate for any
component that has a clock, timer, or that will be used as a master control or triggering unit for the
rest of the system. Devices such as a VCR, DBS receiver, cable TV box, or any item with a
microprocessor should use the Always On outlet.
Switched Outlet
The Switched outlet powers up the moment the Power Button is initiated. This outlet is appropriate for
devices with latching power supplies* such as some CD players, tuners, tape decks, and some televisions. If the power button on your iPOWER™unit is left permanently engaged, the Switched outlet will
function identically to the Always On outlet described above.
Triggered Outlets
The Triggered outlets enable the connected devices to power on and off automatically. When the
Power Button is initiated it places the Triggered outlets in stand-by mode. When there is 12 volts present at either of the 12VTrigger Inputs, the AC-6+ automatically turns on the Triggered outlets. When
the 12 volt signal is not present it disconnects power to the Triggered outlets. This is an immensely
valuable tool for simplifying control over one’s audio/video system. For more information, see the section “Using The Remote Trigger Feature” on page 14. T

USING THE REMOTE TRIGGER FEATURE
Trigger Activation
Your AC-6+ has (2) Trigger Inputs and (1) Bus Trigger Output which provides a wide array of possibilities for automated turn-on and shut-off of the Triggered outlets. Each Trigger Input can be activated with 12V DC 200mA input via standard 3.5mm mini plug jacks found on the AC-6+. This
dual-trigger input configuration allows for two zone control of the system, while the single bus output allows the AC-6+ to be "daisy chained" to other iPOWER
protected, triggerable device. In addition, the Trigger Output can be utilized to generate a “power
status” signal for use with compatible Niles infrared or audio/video distribution products.
IMPORTANT NOTE
All components in a system must be connected to an iPOWER™Power Management System in order for
the system to be protected from electrical disturbances and to realize maximum noise filtration benefits.
This includes AC power cables, coaxial connections, and telephone cables used with pay-per-view
systems. Failure to do this will degrade system performance and leave it vulnerable to electrical damage.
Using The Trigger Inputs
NOTE:The Triggered outlets can only be triggered by the Trigger Inputs if the Power button is initiated.
Your AC-6+ has (2) Trigger Inputs which can be used for remote turn ON and turn OFF of the
Triggered outlets. The Trigger can be activated with any 12V DC trigger voltage. Many control amplifiers, preamps/receivers and system integration centers have a voltage output which can be used to
activate the AC-6+’s Trigger feature. If your system includes a control device with provisions for
remote triggering, simply connect the voltage output from the control device to the Trigger Input on
your AC-6+. If the control device has a switched outlet, plug the 12V DC 200mA Remote Trigger
Power Supply (included) into the control’s device switched outlet and the 3.5mm mini plug into one
of the AC-6+’s Trigger Inputs (see illustration, next page). Now, every time the control device’s

switched outlet is turned on, it will turn ON the Triggered outlets. In turn, when the control device
is shut off, it will turn OFF the triggered outlets. Since there are (2) Trigger Inputs, the AC-6+ can be
Triggered by a second control device in the same manner, allowing for multi-zone operation.
IMPORTANT NOTE
IMPORTANT! The control device must be plugged into the AC-6+ to ensure proper protection.
The illustration offers one example of automating the turn on and
turn off of the Triggered outlets.
The 12V DC 200mA Remote Trigger Power Supply (included) is
plugged into the switched outlet
of a preamp/receiver. Its 3.5mm
jack plugs into one of the Trigger
Inputs on the AC-6+.
15
Page 19
Using The Trigger Output
The AC-6+ has a bus Trigger Output jack which provides a convenient pass through from the remote
Trigger Input. Simply connect the output jack on the AC-6+ to any protected triggerable device, and
the input voltage that controls the Triggered outlets will be passed through the AC-6+ to another
device.
IMPORTANT NOTE
IMPORTANT! The control device must be plugged into the AC-6+ to ensure proper protection.
The Trigger Output can be used to pass the
input trigger voltage through the AC-6+ to
automatically turn on additional protected
equipment or iPOWER products.

POSSIBLE CAUSES AND TEST PROCEDURE
• Check that the unit is plugged in and that there is power to the
outlet.
• Check the AC-6+’s circuit breaker located by the power cord
and reset if necessary.
• First, re-check the trigger lines to ensure a positive connection.
then check that the trigger is going to the TRIGGER IN jack on
the AC-6+.
• If all connections are properly made and the AC-6+ fails to
respond, it is most likely that the trigger signal has too low a
voltage (below 12V). Check the trigger source to be sure that
the signal is 12V DC 200mA.
• Check that the Power Button is initiated. The Triggered outlets
will not function if the Power button is not in the “ON” position.
•This indicates that the wall outlet is not properly grounded or
possibly another type of line problem. Without a proper
ground, your AC-6+ will not provide power protection.
1. STOP YOUR INSTALLATION. Check the AC connection
and make sure that the AC-6+ is plugged in properly. If the
GROUND OK light still fails to illuminate, have the AC
outlet in the house checked by an electrician to diagnose
the problem.
2. DO NOT operate your AC-6+ without a proper ground.
•This indicates that the wall outlet has a line problem such as
polarity inversion. This is common, especially in older homes.
DO NOT operate the AC-6+ with a line problem. Call your
electrician to have the line repaired.
Page 21
TROUBLESHOOTING (continued)
SYMPTOM
Both the LINE OK indicator and
the GROUND OK light on the
front panel of the AC-6+ do not
light up.
POSSIBLE CAUSES AND TEST PROCEDURE
• This indicates that either the wall outlet is not properly grounded, or the wall outlet has a line problem such as a polarity
inversion, (or both). See the above two items for more information.
TROUBLESHOOTING
The circuit breaker on the
AC-6+ continues to trip.
There is an audible "thump,"
"click," or "pop," coming from my
loudspeakers during the powerup function of my AC-6+.
• Your AC-6+ is equipped with a 15 Amp circuit breaker to provide overload protection. This breaker will allow up to 1800
watts of power to pass through the AC-6+ to your
components. If the breaker continues to trip after being reset
several times, there may be a short in the system. If no short is
apparent, or the problem is intermittent, this indicates that the
components are drawing more than the 1800 watts the
AC-6+ can supply. Check with your Niles dealer or installer to
see what other iPOWER
the AC-6+ to provide sufficient power for your system.
• Many components will create "thumps," "clicks," and "pops"
when they are first turned on. This can happen while their internal power supply "settles in," which usually only takes a few
seconds or so. This is common, and while annoying, it usually
will not harm loudspeakers. Niles offers several iPOWER
els with features designed to prevent this condition. See your
Niles dealer for more information.
