PLANNING YOUR AC CONNECTIONS
CONNECTING COMPONENTS TO THE TRIBUTARIEST10X
Connect the AC power cables from your components to the appropriate outlets on the TRIBUTARIES T10X.
MAKING CONNECTIONS
All components in a system must be connected to a Power Extension Bar in order for the system to be
protected from electrical disturbances and to achieve maximum noise filtering and line conditioning
benefits. Failure to do this will degrade system performance and leave it vulnerable to electrical damage.
TRIGGER CONNECTIONS
The TRIGGER IN provides a connection for one component that has a 12 volt DC trigger output to instruct
the TRIBUTARIES T10X to turn-on. Simply connect a TRIBUTARIES PWRA-TC Trigger Cable, or equivalent
cable terminated with a mono 3.5mm mini-plug, from the trigger output of the component in the system
that will be the source of the triggering signal to TRIGGER IN of the TRIBUTARIES T10X. Turning on that
component will turn-on the TRIBUTARIES T10X. Consequently, for the TRIBUTARIES T10X to turn-off, simply
turn off the triggering component. The TRIBUTARIES T10X rear panel also provides a TRIGGER OUT that can
be used to connect to another TRIBUTARIES Power Manager permitting turn-on of other components.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Symptom
T10X will not power up
Triggers will not power up unit
Protected light goes out
Possible cause
The T10X is not receiving
power
Circuit breaker is tripped
There is no power to the
trigger
Indicates the internal surge
protection is inoperative.
This happens when the T10X
receives multiple over voltages
and sacrifices itself to protect
your electronics.

Solution
1. Check that the unit is plugged in
2. Check the outlet for power
1. Reset the circuit breaker on the
front panel
2. If the Breaker continues to trip,
try moving one or more units
to another Power Extension Bar
or Power Manager, you may be
drawing too much current.
1. Check the trigger input cable it
must be connected to the trigger
input
2. Check the cable for proper fit
3. Trigger voltage is too low (below
12 volts).
1. Disconnect your electronics from
the T10X
2. Contact your Tributaries dealer
for service
