literature accompanying the appliance.
CAUTION
1. Please read and retain these safety instructions.
2. Heed all warnings in the operating instructions and on the appliance.
3. Do not use this apparatus near water or moisture.
4. Clean only with a dry cloth.
5. Install in a good quality 19" equipment rack
6. Do not install near sources of heat such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other apparatus that produce heat
(such as amplifiers).
7. Refer all servicing to authorised personnel.
8. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way including: Impact damage, power cord/
supply damage, liquid spillages, small objects falling into the unit or exposure to moisture. In addition please refer
to authorised service personnel if the apparatus is not operating normally.
9. To completely disconnect this equipment from the AC mains disconnect the power plug from the AC receptacle.
10. To prevent fire never place the unit near any naked flame such as a candle.

Installation Instructions:
Caution:
The SurgeX
®
1200 series products permit a maximum
16A (SX1216 models), 15A (SX1215 models), 13A (SX1213
models) or 10A (SX1210 models) total output load with
a maximum 10A load per outlet. Please check and make
sure that each load connected to the unit does not exceed
10A. Also make sure that the total does not exceed your
mains receptacles current limit.
For safety please plug your SurgeX
®
unit into a fused
receptacle (T20AL 250v fuse recommended).
SurgeX
®
Series Mode
®
Protection is Live-Neutral only, if
the polarity indicator is illuminated when connected to the
mains please replace the plug observing correct polarity.
Mounting
The SurgeX
®
SX1200 series 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.
240 Volt Connections
Connect power to the unit by plugging the cord into a 240V
mains receptacle. The SX1200 series must be plugged into
the appropriate properly polarized receptacle.
Model Standard Total Load Receptacle
table. Plug the equipment cords into the always-on and
switched receptacles as needed to power the equipment.
The always-on and courtesy receptacles (where fitted) provide
power as long as power is supplied to the SurgeX®. The eight
switched rear receptacles provide power only when the front
panel switch is on and, in the case of RTi products, when the
remote control input is also activated.
Indicator Lights
The SX1200 series have two, three or four indicator lights on
the front panel and a polarity indicator lamp on the rear panel:
Amber polarity light (Rear panel, all products): Indicates
that live and neutral are reversed and your SurgeX product will
not work as intended. If you are using an SX1216 (European
Cee7/7 connectivity) simply reverse the connection. If you are
using an SX1210, SX1213 or SX1215 consult an electrician to
correct and establish a proper polarity.
Red Power Light (All products): indicates that power is
supplied to the unit and the power switch is turned on.
Green Self-Test Light (All products): indicates that power is
supplied to the unit and the internal surge protection circuitry
is fully functional.
Orange Over/Under Voltage Protection Light (RTi & RLi
products): indicates that the mains voltage is below 190 volts
or above 280 volts.
Yellow Remote Light (RTi produ cts): indicates tha t the
remote control is active and the rear switched receptacles are

Lamp Connectors (RLi Only)
The RLi version has provision for two Task Lamps. Plug
the Lamps into the two three-pin XLR connectors on the
The SX1200 series have a total of 10 rear receptacles: eight
switched and two always on. The SX1200 series also feature
a front panel courtesy receptacle, which is always on. Each
receptacle is rated for a maximum load of 10 amps, but the
total load must not exceed th e load specified in th e above
front panel and use the dimmer to set a suitable brightness.
Standard or HI brightness Lamps can be used. Each
connector can supply up to 5 Watts maximum. LED type
Lamps can be used with the RLi but the dimmer must be set
fully clockwise.

CAUTION:
Do not repeatedly turn an RTi / RLi product
on-off-on-off 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 repeatedly in
a short period of time. Wait one minute between repeated
turn-ons.
Remote Control (RTi Products Only)
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 a 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 th e 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
Control Connections
Control of the switched receptacles can be accomplished by
using a switch (contact closure), another SurgeX® RTi product,
or by an applied voltage (5 to 30 volts DC). When using a
switch, choose a switch with gold contacts for the best longterm reliability.
Connections are made to terminal block pins 1, 2 & 3 as
follows:
• Connect switch contacts, a contact closure, or SurgeX
®
control to pins 1 and 2.
Remote Indicator LED
Connecting the Remote LED is optional. An LED connected to
pins 4 and 5 will indicate when the switched receptacles are
on. 10mA of current is available at this output, but you must
use a series resistor if you are using your own LED. For
most LEDs a 1K resistor will provide suitable brightness. If you
need less brightness use a larger value of resistor, and if you
need more brightness use a smaller value of resistor.
• Connect the LED positive wire to Pin 4
• Connect the LED negative wire to Pin 5
Auxiliary Relay Contacts
The auxiliary relay contacts, pins 6 & 7, provide a way to
cascade units or to provide confirmation feedback to a central
controller. When the switched receptacles are on, the aux
relay contacts are closed. There is a 1 second delay before
the aux relay closes which gives time for the SurgeX
®
Inrush
Current Elimination (ICE®) circuit to operate. This short delay
in combination with the SurgeX
®
ICE
®
makes it unnecessary
to sequence the power to several large loads (such as
amplifiers) because of inrush current. SurgeX
®
RTi products,
when cascaded, can turn on a bank of large amplifiers with
no inrush current, and therefore no risk of blowing a circuit
breaker.
To cascade two or more RTi products, connect the aux relay
contacts of one unit to the contact closure input of the next
unit. To provide confirmation feedback, connect the aux relay
contacts to an input on the central controller.
The relay contacts are rated for 1 amp at 30 V DC.
Or:
• Connect an applied DC voltage to pins 2 and 3. The
positive must be connected to pin 2 and the negative
must be connected to pin 3.
