Setting up your PS15, PB15, or PB15Pro 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 PB15 and PB15Pro
be placed in the top slot so that its slide-out LED lamps can be used to illuminate
the entire rack of equipment below.
2. Connect the PS15, PB15, or PB15Pro to any standard grounded AC outlet. If you
are using a PB15Pro, 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 PS15, PB15, or PB15Pro 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. (PB15 and PB15Pro only) - To illuminate the equipment in your rack, gently pull
the front-panel slide-out cylinders out towards you. The lamps will switch on
automatically . You can also illuminate the back of your rack by connecting the
included USB gooseneck LED light.
