Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing your Samson PowerStrip, PowerBrite, or PowerBrite
Pro! This manual covers three products: the PowerStrip PS15; the PowerBrite PB15;
and the PowerBrite PB15Pro. All three of these single-space rack units provide
multiple outlets for reliable power distribution with 3-point surge and spike
protection, plus RF (Radio Frequency) filtering. The three products differ in that the
PowerBrite and PowerBrite Pro also provide dual front-panel LED lamps (in retractable
cylinders), with dimmer control, which can be used to fully illuminate your entire
rack of gear. In addition, the PB15 and PB15Pro also provide a rear-panel USB socket
to use with the included LED gooseneck lamp so you can see the back of your
gear. For advance control, the PowerBrite PB15Pro's feature front-panel voltmeter
and ammeter, each with their own large LED display so you can easily monitor
the condition of your power source. The steel chassis and solid build construction
makes the PowerStrip and PowerBrite series reliable tools on the road or in fixed
installations.
In this manual, you’ll find a more detailed description of the features of your
PowerStrip PS15, PowerBrite PB15, or PowerBrite PB15Pro, as well as instructions for
