IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

This manual contains instructions and warnings that should be followed during the installation and operation of all Tripp Lite Power Conditioning Centers. Failure to heed these warnings will void your warranty.

• The Power Conditioning Center features an internal protection that will disconnect the surge-protective component at the end of its useful life but will maintain power to the load—now unprotected.

• Do not connect the Power Conditioning Center to an ungrounded outlet. Do not use with 2-wire extension cords or adapters. Do not plug extension cords into the Power Conditioning Center.

Features

Front Panel

• The Power Conditioning Center is designed for indoor use only. Install the Power Conditioning Center away from heat-emitting appliances such as radiators or heat registers. Do not install where excessive moisture is present.

• Never install electrical, telephone, network or coaxial wiring during a lightning storm.

• Do not drill into any part of the housing or open the housing for any reason. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

Front Panel

Illuminated “ON/OFF” Power Switch: turns power on and off at all of the outlets.

“ON” LED: indicates that AC power is available at the Power Conditioning Center's outlets. This LED will illuminate when the Power Switch is set to “ON”.

“POWER” LED: indicates AC power is available at the wall outlet. “GROUND” LED: indicates wall outlet is grounded and surge protection can

properly function. “PROTECTED” LED: indicates the surge suppression components are intact

and providing complete protection against surges. If this LED does not illuminate, some of the surge suppression components are not functioning, and the unit should be replaced. Call Tripp Lite Customer Support at (773) 869-1234.

“SELECT” Switch: selects controllable IR outlets (labeled “IR1”, “IR2”, “IR3” and “IR4” on the rear panel of the Power Conditioning Center) to be turned on or off using the “ENTER” Switch. See “IR Outlet Control” in the “Optional Installation” section for setting procedure.

“ENTER” Switch: turns controllable IR outlets on or off (after they have first been selected using the “SELECT” Switch). See “IR Outlet Control” in the “Optional Installation” section for setting procedure.

“DELAY/ADJUST” DIP Switches: select the delay interval (0, 1, 10 or 30

seconds) when turning on or off multiple IR outlets in a sequence using a remote. See “IR Outlet Control” in the “Optional Installation” section for setting procedure.

“OUTLET SELECT” LEDs: indicate which controllable IR outlets (labeled “IR1”, “IR2”, “IR3” and “IR4” on the rear panel of the Power Conditioning Center) have been selected using the “SELECT” Switch. Each LED will flash when its corresponding IR outlet has been selected. Each LED will illuminate continuously when power has been turned on at the outlet.

“POWER ON” LEDs: indicate which controllable IR outlets have been turned

ON using the “ENTER” Switch. Each LED will flash when its corresponding IR outlet has been selected. Each LED will illuminate continuously when power has been turned on at the outlet.

Infrared (IR) Sensor: is for use with either the included IR remote or a universal

learning IR remote (user-supplied)* to control IR outlets. Program the outlets to turn on or off individually or in a sequence. If the sensor is covered, a remote IR sensor (user-supplied) can be connected to the IR sensor input on the rear panel of the Power Conditioning Center.

* The user-supplied remote must be a universal learning type to work with the included remote.

“Input Voltage” Digital LED Display: clearly shows voltage variations of

incoming utility power. The Power Conditioning Center can alert you to abnormal voltage, but cannot regulate it. If persistent low or high voltage conditions continually affect equipment performance, consider purchasing a Tripp Lite UPS system or line conditioner.

“Current Usage” LED Display: allows you to get the maximum use from your

Power Conditioning Center by showing you the total amperage load of all of your connected components. CAUTION: the total amperage capacity of the Power Conditioning Center is 15 amps. Any amperage loads that exceed 15 amps will cause the circuit breaker to trip. Action should be taken to reduce connected load and reset the circuit breaker.

Rackmount Hardware: allows 2U mounting in standard sized racks.

Removeable Console Feet: allow placement on a shelf as a console component within a system. Unscrew feet prior to rackmounting the Power Conditioning Center.

Rear Panel

“Digital” and “Analog” Isolated Filter Banks: are designed to protect digital

and analog equipment against surge damage and line noise distortion. State-of-theart Isobar®technology provides an additional level of line noise filtering: ensuring line noise generated by equipment connected to one filter bank does not interfere with the performance of equipment connected to another filter bank.

“High Current” Isolated Filter Bank: will not limit or impede current, providing equipment such as amplifiers and subwoofers with the high amperage current they need for ultimate audio performance. This filter bank protects high-current equipment against surge damage and line noise distortion. State-of-the-art Isobar technology provides an additional level of line noise filtering: ensuring line noise generated by equipment connected to one filter bank does not interfere with the performance of equipment connected to another filter bank.

“IR” Outlets: can be controlled either manually (using front panel switches) or

remotely using the included IR remote or a universal learning IR remote (usersupplied)*. Program the outlets to turn on or off individually or in a sequence. See “IR Outlet Control” in the “Optional Installation” section for details.

* The user-supplied remote must be a universal learning type to work with the included remote.

Infrared (IR) Sensor Input: accepts a remote IR sensor (user-supplied), for use

when the built-in front panel IR sensor is covered. 3-Line High-Definition (HD) Compatible Coax Protection: includes three sets

of gold coaxial “F” connectors that protect components against surge damage and line noise distortion on three DSS satellite, cable or antenna lines simultaneously. Coaxial protection is compatible with all digital signals for High-Definition (HD) video.

Rear Panel

1-Line Ethernet Protection: safeguards equipment against surge damage and line

noise distortion on a 10/100 Base T network line.*

* Not compatible with PoE (Power Over Ethernet) applications.

1-Line Tel/Modem Protection: safeguards Personal Video Recorders (TiVo®) and

other components against surge damage and line noise distortion on a single dialup line. Built-in splitter (one jack in and two jacks out) allows you to simultaneously connect and protect two components sharing a single line.

Circuit Breaker: protects against dangerous system overload. If the total load on

the Power Conditioning Center's outlets exceeds 15 amps, the circuit breaker will trip and power will be turned off at all outlets. Reduce the load by unplugging some devices. Press the circuit breaker in to restore power.

10 ft. Cord and Right Angle Plug: right angle plug allows equipment and furniture to be flush against the wall. Connect to a standard 3-wire grounded 120V AC, 60 Hz. wall outlet.

Installation

STEP 1) Place Your Power Conditioning Center in a Console or Mount It in a Rack: The Power Conditioning Center

includes rubber mounting feet as well as rackmount hardware. Place the Power Conditioning Center on a shelf as a console component or use the rackmount hardware to mount it in any standard size rack.

To mount the unit in a rack, first remove the console feet by unscrewing them. Attach the included rackmount hardware to the sides of the Power Conditioning Center (STEP 1A) with the included screws. After installing the hardware, install four user-supplied rackmount screws through the unit's rackmount hardware (STEP 1B) and into the rack rails as shown. The user must determine the fitness of the user-supplied screws prior to installation.

STEP 2) Connect Your Power Conditioning Center to the AC Power Line: Plug the Power Conditioning Center's power cord into a standard, 3-wire grounded 120V AC, 60 Hz. outlet.

STEP 3) Turn Your Power Conditioning Center ON: Press the Power Conditioning Center's power switch until it illuminates, indicating power is supplied at the Power Conditioning Center's outlets.

STEP 4) Check Your Power Conditioning Center's Diagnostic Indicator Lights:

Check the LEDs prior to connecting your equipment. They will indicate various operating conditions when the Power Conditioning Center is plugged into a live 120V AC outlet and the Power Conditioning Center's power switch is on.

Step 1A

Step 1B

STEP 5) Connect Your Equipment to the Power Conditioning Center's AC Outlets: Plug your equipment's power cords (including 2-wire devices) into the

Power Conditioning Center's AC outlets. DO NOT plug in extension cords. DO NOT OVERLOAD the Power Conditioning Center's outlets. The Power Conditioning Center can accommodate a total equipment load of up to 15 amps (whether plugged into a single outlet or spread out over multiple outlets). If the load on the Power Conditioning Center's outlets exceeds 15 amps, the circuit breaker will trip and power will be turned off at all outlets. Reduce the load by unplugging some devices. Press the circuit breaker to restore power.

Isolated Filter Banks: Depending on the type of equipment you are connecting, choose one of three Isolated Filter Banks (see Rear Panel diagram in “Features” section) that provide an extra level of filtering between components:

• Connect digital equipment to the five outlets labeled “Digital Filter Bank”.

• Connect analog equipment to the five outlets labeled “Analog Filter Bank”.

• Connect equipment with high amperage current draw (such as amplifiers and

subwoofers) to the two outlets labeled “High Current Filter Bank”. These outlets will not limit or impede current, providing equipment with the high amperage current they need for ultimate audio performance.

IR Outlets: Outlets labeled “IR1”, “IR2”, “IR3” and “IR4” can be controlled either manually (using front panel switches) or remotely using the included IR remote or a universal learning IR remote (user-supplied)*. NOTE: remote control is optional; IR Outlets will function the same as other outlets until you attempt to control them either manually or remotely. See “IR Outlet Control” in the “Optional Installation” section for details.
