SurgeX
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
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 – Contact Closure / Applied Voltage +
Pin 3 – Applied Voltage -
Pin 4 – Remote LED +
Pin 5 – Remote LED -
Pin 6 – Aux Relay Contact
Pin 7 – Aux Relay Contact
