- Connexió d'alimentació: Connect the integrated AC power cord from the PB15 Pro to a suitable grounded wall outlet. Verify that the voltage matches the unit's requirements (115 VAC as indicated on the front panel).
- Connexió d'equips:
- Connect your audio or electronic equipment to the 8 switched AC outlets located on the rear panel of the PB15 Pro.
- An additional unswitched convenience outlet is located on the front panel for equipment that requires constant power, regardless of the main power switch status.
- Gestió de cables: Route all power cables neatly to prevent tripping hazards and ensure proper airflow.
Instruccions de funcionament
Familiarize yourself with the controls and indicators on the front panel:
- Main Power Switch (OUTLETS ON/OFF): This large red rocker switch controls the power to the 8 rear-panel AC outlets. Flip it to the "ON" position to supply power to connected equipment. The front panel unswitched outlet remains active regardless of this switch's position.
- Voltímetre: The digital display labeled "VOLTMETER" shows the incoming AC line voltage, allowing you to monitor power conditions.
- Amperímetre: The digital display labeled "AMMETER" indicates the total current (amperes) being drawn by all equipment connected to the switched outlets. This helps prevent overloading.
- Control del dimmer: The blue knob labeled "DIMMER" adjusts the brightness of the two pull-out LED lamps.
- Pull-out LED Lamps: Two retractable LED lamps are located on the front panel. Pull them out to illuminate your rack equipment. Their brightness is controlled by the Dimmer knob.
- Unswitched Outlet (115 VAC): A single AC outlet on the front panel provides constant power, independent of the main power switch. Use this for equipment that needs to remain powered on.
- 15 AMP Circuit Breaker (PUSH TO RESET): Located on the left side of the front panel, this circuit breaker protects the unit from overloads. If the total current draw exceeds 15 amperes, the breaker will trip, cutting power to the switched outlets. To reset, push the button back in. Reduce the load before resetting.
Manteniment
The Samson PB15 Pro PowerBrite requires minimal maintenance. Follow these guidelines to ensure its longevity:
- Neteja: Desconnecteu la unitat de l'alimentació abans de netejar-la. Feu servir un drap suau i sec per netejar l'exterior. No utilitzeu netejadors líquids ni dissolvents.
- Ventilació: Ensure that the ventilation slots are not obstructed. Proper airflow is crucial for preventing overheating.
- Inspecció del cable: Periodically inspect the power cord and all connected cables for any signs of damage or wear. Replace damaged cables immediately.
