However, like any electronic device, an inappropriately or improperly installed device may not perform as intended. By following a few common sense precautions, your iPOWERTM product will give you a lifetime of worry-free performance. The following safety precautions apply to all iPOWERTM products. [. . . ] Additionally, the Trigger feature of the AC-6+ will be disabled so that the Triggered outlets cannot be automatically powered on or off, regardless of whether there is 12 volts present at the 12 Volt Trigger Inputs. KEY TECHNOLOGIES UL 1449 Second Edition Listing The UL 1449 Second Edition procedure is considered to be the most rigorous and demanding series of tests for surge protection devices in the world. In order for a surge protection device to obtain this UL certification, it must pass a battery of "torture" tests ensuring that the product will meet a set of established safety and performance standards. Your AC-6+ is UL 1449 Second Edition listed. 6 UNIT DETAILS UNIT DETAILS 7 The AC-6+ features three pairs of premium quality, wall transformer-spaced outlets. One outlet is Always On, one outlet is Switched on by the power button, and two pairs are Triggered on via either of the 12V trigger inputs. Power Button turns on Switched outlets and puts Triggered outlets into standby mode for remote triggering. Switched LED indicates the status of the Switched outlets and that Triggered outlets are in standby mode. Ground OK LED indicates that the wall outlet wiring is properly grounded. Line OK LED indicates that the wall outlet is free of any problems such as a polarity inversion. Dual Zone 12V Input Triggers enable you to turn on your system from either of two components (includes unique 12V DC 200mA wall adapter for triggering a device). Bus Output Trigger enables the 12V inputs to automate turn-on of other iPOWER products or protected equipment whenever the 12V trigger input is used. 6 ft. industrial grade, high-current handling power cord with flat, 360º rotating plug. Patent pending i3TM power protection circuitry ensures protection time after time. If the AC line in your house is properly grounded, the GROUND OK light will illuminate. If the GROUND OK light does not illuminate, stop your installation. Check the AC connection and make sure that the unit 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 ground problem. 10 Placement PLANNING YOUR SYSTEM 11 It is recommended that the AC-6+ be placed in a location easily reached when manually operating the other controls in the system. There should be a clear line of sight between the operator and the unit to allow easy user feedback of system status. The AC-6+ should be placed on a flat, stable shelf or platform or, if desired, it can be wall mounted. See the following section for directions on wall mounting. IMPORTANT: Be sure to follow the "Safety Precautions" in the front of this manual to ensure proper product performance and safety. Wall Mounting Once you have decided where your AC-6+ should be placed, you may wish to permanently mount it in that location. Mounting screw slots are provided on all AC Series iPOWERTM products for such purposes. On the back of each unit you will find a series of L-shaped slots designed to accommodate mounting screws. The L-shape of the openings allows for both vertical and horizontal positioning of the unit. [. . . ] DO NOT operate your AC-6+ without a proper ground. The LINE OK indicator on the front panel of the AC-6+ does not light up. · This indicates that the wall outlet has a line problem such as polarity inversion. This is common, especially in older homes. DO NOT operate the AC-6+ with a line problem. Call your electrician to have the line repaired. TROUBLESHOOTING (continued) SYMPTOM Both the LINE OK indicator and the GROUND OK light on the front panel of the AC-6+ do not light up. [. . . ]
