A R - 1 2 1 5 A C L I N E V O LTA G E R E G U L AT O R
convenience outlets on the rear panel, and one on
the front panel. All are functionally interchangeable.
The outlets are regulated, spike-suppressed, and fi l-
tered against RFI with a 3-pole fi lter, making the unit
a full-function power conditioner. The AR-1215 has
no controls except an on-off switch. (The AR-1215J
and AR-2306 also have an output voltage selector
switch.)
Note: The AR-1215 and AR-2306 are for use with
AC voltage only. DC voltages should never be ap-
plied to them. Also, they do not change or regulate
line frequency. The output frequency will always be
the same as the incoming frequency.
MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM LOAD
The AR-1215 and AR-1215J can handle loads total-
ling up to 15 amperes as long as the input voltage
is equal to or above 124 volts (or 104 volts if using
AR-1215J set to 100 volt output). For voltages below
that level, its capacity must be derated at approxi-
mately 113 milliamperes per volt. (See graphs on
back page.) As a practical matter, therefore, to cope
successfully with worst-case brownout conditions,
you should plan your total load so that it does not
exceed 12 amps, or 1400 watts. Please note that
this refers to the aggregate power requirement of all
equipment plugged into the Voltage Regulator, not to
each individual item.
The AR-2306 can handle loads totalling up to 6
amperes as long as the input voltage is equal to
or above the selected output voltage. For voltages
below that level, its capacity must be derated at ap-
proximately 23 milliamperes per volt. (Again, please
see graphs on back page.) As a practical matter,
therefore, to cope successfully with worst-case
brownout conditions, you should plan your total load
so that it does not exceed 5 amps, or 1100 watts.
Please note that this refers to the aggregate power
requirement of all equipment plugged into the Volt-
age Regulator, not to each individual item.
NOTE: While there is no minimum load require-
ment for the AR1215 or AR-2306, you may
experience an audible mechanical hum coming
directly from the unit when the POWER switch
is on with nothing plugged in. This effect will
disappear as soon as you plug in any equipment

produces 120 VAC: AR-1215J produces either 100 or 120 VAC; and AR-2306 produces either 220, 230, or 240 VAC.
