ETA’s line of Conditioned Power Distribution units are designed to reduce damage to sensitive electronic equipment from sudden voltage spikes, damaging power surges, and EMI/RFI noise, which is inherent in utility power lines.

The PD11SP is a sequential four step/stage power up/down conditioned power distribution unit. It is designed to protect electronic equipment that requires a time-delayed start-up, particularly when high in-rush current can potentially damage audio, video, or computer equipment at power up.

PD11SP units are shipped with the ability to be linked or daisy chained. All linked units function as slaves; however, slaves can be set to specific time delays. Any number of units can be linked together with a distance of up to 1000 feet between each location (see Fig. 4).

Installation Requirements

PD11P, PD11VP, PD11LP, PD11SP, PD11LVP, PD11LVSP

Plug unit into power source and observe status of four

"Protection" light emitting diodes. The (green) “1st Stage”,

“2nd Stage”, and “GROUND OK” L.E.D.’s should normally be illuminated and the (red) “FAULT” L.E.D. should be off.

When these indications are present, test the power “On/Off” switch which will illuminate to indicate that power is being supplied to the switched outlets on the rear of the unit.

A. The “1st Stage” and “2nd Stage” L.E.D.’s indicate that

both the input (1st) and output (2nd) stages of circuit

protection are active.

B. The “GROUND OK” L.E.D. indicates that the chassis

is connected to the ground wire of the supply outlet.

C. Fault conditions are represented by the following

indications:

NOTE: (X) = “ON” ( ) = “OFF”

1 st 2 nd Ground Fault

Stage Stage OK

(X) (X) (X) ( ) Supply circuit outlet wiring OK

( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) Open hot

( ) ( ) (X) (X)

Open Neutral or

Hot & Ground Reversed

(X) (X) ( ) ( ) Open Ground

(X) (X) ( ) (X) Hot & Neutral Reversed

NOTE: On the PD11SS Model a green L.E.D. located on the front panel is illuminated (indicating “Protection On” status) when unit is plugged into a power source ensuring input and output stages of circuit protection are active.

Operating Instructions

1. Install in a standard 19" rack or free-standing position.

2. Connect Power Distribution power cord into a 20 amp,

120 volt wall outlet (15 amp for Model PD11SS).

3. Plug sensitive electrical equipment into conditioned outlets. All models have an additional protected outlet on the front panel.

4. Move power outlet switch to "ON" position to provide power to electrical equipment.

5. For illumination, pull out light tubes (PD11LP/LVP/LVSP) and move light switch to "HI" or "LOW" position.

IMPORTANT! Be sure light switch is in "OFF" position when light tubes are recessed.

6. Digital voltmeter readout (PD11VP/LVP/LVSP) is calibrated to nominal 117V at the factory. No adjustment necessary.

7. Digital voltmeter readout automatically displays incoming voltage when power cord is connected.

Power Problems

Standard AC outlets often supply raw and unprocessed power that not only can diminish the clarity of audio signals and cause premature failure of parts, it can completely destroy your valuable equipment.

Power problems such as spikes, line surges and noise interference transmit through all standard electrical lines and affect power quality: therefore, affecting you.

Solutions

Conditioned Power Distribution can eliminate such problems from affecting you. As it filters the line voltage from your

AC outlets, eliminating noise and interference, such as radio frequency interference (RFI) and electromagnetic interference (EMI), it will reduce the residual noise in the system, which will enhance audio clarity.

6

Audio Conditioned Power Distribution is also designed to protect electronic equipment from potentially damaging highvoltage spikes and surges.

Sequencing Audio Conditioned Power Distribution is designed to initiate a turn-on cycle, energizing one circuit immediately with remaining circuits energizing in a delayed fashion. This allows circuits to stabilize when powering up and down eliminating that on-rush of power and potential damage to equipment at output receptacle.

Programming Time Delays

The PD11SP, PD11SS and PD11LVSP come from the factory set to a 1-second delay for each of the four outlets to turn on. The following instruction will enable you to change the amount of time between each outlet turn on.

• The main power switch must be on

• The sequenced outlets must not be active

• The switches to change the delay time are to left

of the unit and they have green L.E.D.s in the

switch.

• The switches are labeled POWER DOWN/UP

and OFF/ON PRESETS

• The POWER DOWN/OFF is the left switch

• The POWER UP/DOWN is the switch to the right

Programming Preset Time Delays

Step 1: Depress and hold the DOWN/OFF switch

Step 2: Depress and hold the UP/ON switch

Step 3: Red L.E.D. to the right of the switches will start to flash

Step 4: When flashing red L.E.D. goes out, release both switches

Step 5: Both green L.E.D.s on the switches will start to flash rapidly

Step 6: You are in program mode at this time

Step 7: The red L.E.D.s to the right indicate what the time delay is set for:

L.E.D. 1 = 1 second delay

L.E.D. 2 = 5 second delay

L.E.D. 3 = 10 second delay

L.E.D. 4 = 30 second delay

Step 8: Depress the UP/ON switch to the right to increase the time delay

Step 9: Depress the OFF/DOWN switch to the left to decrease the time delay

Step 10:Depress both OFF and ON switches to finish the delay programming

Programming Manual Time Delays

Step 1: Follow above instruction to activate L.E.D. 4

Step 2: Depress the UP/ON switch one more time to activate manual programming time delay mode

Step 3: All 4 red L.E.D.s to the right will be lit to indicate manual mode

Step 4: The UP/ON switch green L.E.D. will be lit

Step 5: Depress the UP/ON switch to start manual delay programming—can program from 5 sec. to 240 sec. delay

Step 6: Depress the OFF/DOWN to stop the manual delay timing

Step 7: Depress both the OFF and ON switches to finish programming mode

Three-Wire Remote Control Interface

A three-wire remote control interface is added to the main PC board for the PD11SS, PD11SP AND PD11LVSP units. This remote control interface is accessible through an external terminal block on the back of the unit (see Figure 6). This interface requires an external user provided switch, L.E.D., and a three-wire cable to implement. The interface has been tested reliably over 1000 feet with 22-gauge speaker wire (see Figures

1 and 5).

Connect the short minus (-) lead of the L.E.D. and one side of the switch to the COMMON terminal, the long plus (+) lead of the L.E.D. to the

L.E.D. terminal, and finally the other side of the switch to the ON/OFF terminal. When you close the switch, the L.E.D. will begin flashing until all channels have sequenced ON, and then the L.E.D. will remain ON. When you open the switch the L.E.D. will begin flashing until all channels have sequenced OFF and then the L.E.D. will remain OFF.

Remote Relay Function Operation (optional)

Using a set of relay contacts that are normally open instead of a switch you can control the PD11SS, PD11SP AND PD11LVSP units with a relay. When you apply power to the relay the channels will sequence ON, and when you disconnect power from the relay the channels will sequence OFF. This allows you to interface a PD11SS, PD11SP AND PD11LVSP unit with other equipment that has dry (normally open) relay contacts (see Figure 2).

Larger Installations

In a larger installation, you can control different equipment racks from a remote location by running three-wire cable from each rack back to the remote location. Then attach an L.E.D. and switch as before, these would be mounted in the user's control panel, and you now have remote control of each rack in a single location (see Figure 3).
