Setting Up and Using Your
PowerStrip or PowerBrite
Setting up your PS9, PB9, or Pro7 is a simple procedure
which takes only a few minutes:
1. Remove all packing materials (save them in case of need
for future service) and install the unit in a standard 19" rack.
We recommend that the PB9 and Pro7 be placed in the top
slot so that its slide-out fluorescent light can be used to
illuminate the entire rack of equipment below.
2. Connect the PS9, PB9, or Pro7 to any standard grounded
AC outlet. If you are using a Pro7, the front-panel voltmeter
and ammeter will show you the incoming electrical voltage
and current draw of connected equipment.
3. Connect the AC cables of your rack equipment to the
rear-panel switched AC outlets, using the vertically mounted
receptacles for external AC transformer power adapters.
4. Make sure all connected equipment is switched off, then
press the front-panel Outlets switch so that its status light is lit
red. This activates all rear-panel switched outlets.
5. Turn on all connected equipment, one at a time. If the
total load exceeds 15 amps, the front-panel circuit breaker will
trip. To reset it, unplug one or more devices, then press in
the front-panel circuit breaker.
6. You can also use the unswitched front-panel convenience
outlet for additional temporary power needs (such as
connecting a guitar amplifier, soldering iron, etc.). This outlet
is fully operational whenever the PS9, PB9, or Pro7 is
plugged into an AC source, regardless of the position of the
front-panel Outlets switch. The front-panel circuit breaker
affects this outlet as well as all rear-panel switched outlets.
7. (PB9 and Pro7 only) To illuminate the equipment in your
rack, push gently on the front-panel slide-out drawer and it
will extend out towards you; then press the front-panel Light
switch so that its status light is lit red. If you are using a Pro7,
you can illuminate the back of your rack by connecting a
Littlite®-compatible lamp to the rear-panel 12 VDC socket.
If you encounter difficulty with any aspect of setting up or
using your PS9, PB9, or Pro7 , call Samson Technical
Support (1-800-372-6766) between 9 AM and 5 PM EST.
