User manual NILES IPOWER IPC-8PRO INSTALL GUIDE

[. . . ] READ AND OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AT ALL TIMES. Power Source: Use only with a 3-prong standard AC outlet or a GROUNDED 2 to 3 prong adapter. iPOWERTM products cannot provide power protection without a grounded AC source. Never use a 3 to 1 adapter plug -- this will disable all protection from your iPOWERTM unit and will void the Limited Lifetime Warranty and Connected Equipment Guarantee. [. . . ] If the LED does not illuminate, there is a line problem. Without a proper ground, your AC-6+ will not be able to provide protection from electrical surges and spikes. DO NOT OPERATE YOUR AC-6+ WITHOUT A PROPER GROUND. IF THE GROUND OK LED DOES NOT ILLUMINATE, DISCONNECT THE UNIT IMMEDIATELY. When illuminated, the LINE OK LED on the AC-6+ indicates that the wall outlet does not have a line problem such as polarity inversion. If the LED does not illuminate, there is a line problem. This is common, especially in older homes. Call your electrician to have the line repaired. DO NOT OPERATE YOUR AC-6+ WITH A LINE PROBLEM. IF THE LINE OK LED DOES NOT ILLUMINATE, DISCONNECT THE UNIT IMMEDIATELY. The Switched LED on the AC-6+ illuminates when the Power Button is activated indicating that the Switched outlets are ON. Decisions about triggering options for your AC-6+ will depend on many factors including the type of components in the system and whether they are self-controlled or part of a multi room or whole-house system. By carefully planning the system's architecture in advance, your AC-6+ can be integrated into any configuration you choose. IMPORTANT NOTE All components in a system must be connected to an iPOWERTM Power Management System in order for the system to be protected from electrical disturbances and to realize maximum noise filtration benefits. This includes AC power cables, coaxial connections, and telephone cables used with pay-per-view systems. This outlet is appropriate for any component that has a clock, timer, or that will be used as a master control or triggering unit for the rest of the system. Devices such as a VCR, DBS receiver, cable TV box, or any item with a microprocessor should use the Always On outlet. Switched Outlet The Switched outlet powers up the moment the Power Button is initiated. This outlet is appropriate for devices with latching power supplies* such as some CD players, tuners, tape decks, and some televisions. If the power button on your iPOWERTM unit is left permanently engaged, the Switched outlet will function identically to the Always On outlet described above. Triggered Outlets The Triggered outlets enable the connected devices to power on and off automatically. When the Power Button is initiated it places the Triggered outlets in stand-by mode. When there is 12 volts present at either of the 12V Trigger Inputs, the AC-6+ automatically turns on the Triggered outlets. When the 12 volt signal is not present it disconnects power to the Triggered outlets. This is an immensely valuable tool for simplifying control over one's audio/video system. [. . . ] The Triggered outlets will not function if the Power button is not in the "ON" position. Trigger lines are attached, but the AC-6+'s trigger outlets will not power up via the Trigger input. The GROUND OK light on the front panel of the AC-6+ does not light up. ·This indicates that the wall outlet is not properly grounded or possibly another type of line problem. Without a proper ground, your AC-6+ will not provide power protection. Check the AC connection and make sure that the AC-6+ is plugged in properly. If the GROUND OK light still fails to illuminate, have the AC outlet in the house checked by an electrician to diagnose the problem. [. . . ]
