Configuración
1. Desembalaxe e inspección
- Carefully remove the PC-100A from its packaging.
- Inspect the unit for any signs of damage that may have occurred during shipping. If damage is found, contact your dealer immediately.
- Ensure all components are present: PC-100A unit and integrated power cord.
2. Montaxe
The PC-100A is designed for standard 19-inch rack mounting. Secure the unit into a rack using appropriate rack screws (not included). Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit to prevent overheating.
3. Conexións Eléctricas
Before connecting any equipment, ensure all switches on the front panel of the PC-100A are in the "OFF" (down) position.
- Connect the integrated 6-foot power cord of the PC-100A to a grounded 120V AC, 60Hz power outlet. Ensure the power source can handle the maximum load of 15 Amps (1800 vatios).
- Connect your equipment (e.g., lighting fixtures, audio devices) to the eight 3-prong outlets located on the rear panel of the PC-100A.
- Do not exceed the maximum total load of 15 Amps or 1800 Watts for all connected devices combined. Overloading the unit will trip the circuit breaker.

Operación
1. Powering Equipment On/Off
Each of the eight outlets on the rear panel is controlled by a corresponding lighted switch on the front panel. To supply power to a connected device, flip its respective switch to the "ON" (up) position. The switch will illuminate red when power is active. To cut power, flip the switch to the "OFF" (down) position.

2. Interruptor
The PC-100A is equipped with a 15-Amp resettable circuit breaker located on the front panel. This breaker protects the unit and connected equipment from overcurrent conditions. If the total current draw exceeds 15 Amps, the circuit breaker will trip, cutting power to all outlets.
To reset the circuit breaker:
- Disconnect some of the connected equipment to reduce the load.
- Press the circuit breaker button firmly to reset it.
- If the breaker trips repeatedly, investigate the connected equipment for faults or reduce the total load.
Mantemento
1. Limpeza
To clean the unit, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the finish and internal components. Ensure the unit is unplugged from the main power source before cleaning.
2. Atención xeral
- Regularly check the power cord and all connected cables for any signs of damage (fraying, cuts). Replace damaged cables immediately.
- Ensure the unit is operated in a dry environment, away from moisture and extreme temperatures.
- There are no user-serviceable parts inside the PC-100A. Do not attempt to open or repair the unit yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
