Attach the power cord from each device to be switched into one of the outlets on the back of the PowerGate. Be sure to sup-
port heavy cables with tie wraps or some other method to prevent the unit from bending down (See the figure below). Too
much weight in the rear may cause permanent damage to the enclosure.

Each outlet provides 115VAC 60Hz. To ensure that the maximum power will be available, be sure to plug the PowerGate
itself into a circuit which can supply at least 12 Amps. The total of all devices connected to the PowerGate cannot exceed 12
Amps.
