Installation Instructions

SX1115RT and SX1120RT

Mounting

The SurgeX SX1115/1120RT are designed to be installed in a 19 inch equipment
rack and require one unit (1-U) of rack space. Remove the product from its
packaging and slide it into place in the rack being careful to feed the power cord
into the rack first and guide it so that it does not get caught or jammed as the
product is installed. Use the four screws provided with the product to secure the
rack ears to the rack rails. These screws can be tightened by hand and do not
require tools.

120 Volt Connections

Connect power to the unit by plugging the cord into a 120V ac receptacle. The
SX1120RT must be plugged into a 20 amp receptacle. If a 120V, 20 amp
receptacle is not available, you will need to have one installed by a licensed
electrical contractor.

The SX1115/1120RT have a total of 9 receptacles: six switched, two always on
and a front panel courtesy outlet. Each receptacle is rated for a maximum load of
15 amps, but the total load must not exceed 15 amps for the SX1115RT and 20
amps for the SX1120RT. Plug the equipment cords into the always-on and
switched receptacles as needed to power the equipment.

The always-on and courtesy receptacles provide power as long as power is
supplied to the SurgeX and the AC voltage is within normal limits. The six
switched outlets provide power only when the front panel switch is on and the
remote control input is also activated.

Indicator Lights

–

– App

–

–

The SX1115-RT and SX1120-RT have four indicator lights on the front panel. The
red Power light indicates that the power switch is turned on, power is applied to the
unit and the AC voltage is within normal limits. The orange Over/Under Voltage
Protection light indicates that the AC voltage is below 90 volts or above 145 volts.
The green Self-Test light indicates that power is applied to the unit and the internal
surge protection circuitry is fully functional. The yellow Remote light indicates
that the remote control is active and the rear switched receptacles are on.

CAUTION: Do not repeatedly turn an SX1115RT or an SX1120RT off—on—
off—on with a heavy load connected. The ICE™ circuitry absorbs the inrush
energy each time the unit is turned on and may overheat if this is done too
many times in a short period of time. Wait one minute between repeated turn­ons.

Remote Control

Remote control connections are wired to the green 7-pin plug-in Phoenix terminal
block on the rear of the unit next to the power cord. The terminal block is shipped
with a jumper wire between pins 1 & 2 so that the unit can be used without a
remote control connection. If you will be using remote control you will first need
to remove this jumper wire. You can unplug the terminal block to make
connections and after you have made the connections to the terminal block, plug it
back into the connector on the rear of the unit. Never solder (tin) wires before
inserting into a terminal block – solder cold flows and you will eventually have
loose connections!

The connections are as follows:

Pin 1 – Contact Closure
Pin 2
Pin 3
Pin 4
Pin 5
Pin 6 – Aux Relay Contact
