"Digital" and "Analog" Isolated Filter Banks: are designed to protect digital
and analog equipment against surge damage and line noise distortion. State-of-the-
®
art Isobar
technology provides an additional level of line noise filtering: ensuring
line noise generated by equipment connected to one filter bank does not interfere
with the performance of equipment connected to another filter bank.
Q
"High Current" Isolated Filter Bank: will not limit or impede current, providing
equipment such as amplifiers and subwoofers with the high amperage current they
need for ultimate audio performance. This filter bank protects high-current
equipment against surge damage and line noise distortion. State-of-the-art Isobar
technology provides an additional level of line noise filtering: ensuring line noise
generated by equipment connected to one filter bank does not interfere with the
performance of equipment connected to another filter bank.
"IR" Outlets: can be controlled either manually (using front panel switches) or
R
remotely using the included IR remote or a universal learning IR remote (user-
supplied)*. Program the outlets to turn on or off individually or in a sequence. See
"IR Outlet Control" in the "Optional Installation" section for details.
* The user-supplied remote must be a universal learning type to work with the included remote.
Infrared (IR) Sensor Input: accepts a remote IR sensor (user-supplied), for use
S
when the built-in front panel IR sensor is covered.
3-Line High-Definition (HD) Compatible Coax Protection: includes three sets
T
of gold coaxial "F" connectors that protect components against surge damage and
line noise distortion on three DSS satellite, cable or antenna lines simultaneously.
Coaxial protection is compatible with all digital signals for High-Definition (HD)
video.
Installation
STEP 1) Place Your Console Component
Power Center in a Console or Mount It
in a Rack: The Console Component
Power Center includes rubber mounting
feet as well as rackmount hardware. Place
the Console Component Power Center on a
shelf as a console component or use the
rackmount hardware to mount it in any
standard size rack.
To mount the unit in a rack, first remove
the console feet by unscrewing them.
Attach the included rackmount hardware
to the sides of the Console Component
Power Center (STEP 1A) with the included
screws. After installing the hardware,
install four user-supplied rackmount
screws through the unit's rackmount
hardware (STEP 1B) and into the rack rails as shown. The user must determine the
fitness of the user-supplied screws prior to installation.
STEP 2) Connect Your Console Component Power Center to the AC Power Line:
Plug the Console Component Power Center's power cord into a standard, 3-wire
grounded 120V AC, 60 Hz. outlet.
STEP 3) Turn Your Console Component Power Center ON: Press the Console
Component Power Center's power switch until it illuminates, indicating power is
supplied at the Console Component Power Center's outlets.
STEP 4) Check Your Console Component Power Center's Diagnostic Indicator
Lights: Check the LEDs prior to connecting your equipment. They will indicate
various operating conditions when the Console Component Power Center is plugged
into a live 120V AC outlet and the Console Component Power Center's power switch
is on.

Not Shown
Unit/Cord Labels: coordinate Console Component Power Center outlets with
component power cords for easy identification.
Audible Alarm: immediately alerts you to damaged internal protection circuitry. If
this occurs, contact Tripp Lite Customer Support.
STEP 5) Connect Your Equipment to the Console Component Power Center's
AC Outlets: Plug your equipment's power cords (including 2-wire devices) into the
Console Component Power Center's AC outlets. DO NOT plug in extension cords.
DO NOT OVERLOAD the Console Component Power Center's outlets. The Console
Component Power Center can accommodate a total equipment load of up to 15 amps
(whether plugged into a single outlet or spread out over multiple outlets). If the load
on the Console Component Power Center's outlets exceeds 15 amps, the circuit
Step 1A
breaker will trip and power will be turned off at all outlets. Reduce the load by
unplugging some devices. Press the circuit breaker to restore power.
Isolated Filter Banks: Depending on the type of equipment you are connecting,
choose one of three Isolated Filter Banks (see Rear Panel diagram in "Features"
section) that provide an extra level of filtering between components:
• Connect digital equipment to the five outlets labeled "Digital Filter Bank".
• Connect analog equipment to the five outlets labeled "Analog Filter Bank".
• Connect equipment with high amperage current draw (such as amplifiers and
Step 1B
subwoofers) to the two outlets labeled "High Current Filter Bank". These outlets
will not limit or impede current, providing equipment with the high amperage
current they need for ultimate audio performance.
IR Outlets: Outlets labeled "IR1", "IR2", "IR3" and "IR4" can be controlled either
manually (using front panel switches) or remotely using the included IR remote or a
universal learning IR remote (user-supplied)*. NOTE: remote control is optional; IR
Outlets will function the same as other outlets until you attempt to control them either
manually or remotely. See "IR Outlet Control" in the "Optional Installation" section
for details.
* The user-supplied remote must be a universal learning type to work with the included remote.

1-Line Ethernet Protection: safeguards equipment against surge damage and line
noise distortion on a 10/100 Base T network line.*
* Not compatible with PoE (Power Over Ethernet) applications.
1-Line Tel/Modem Protection: safeguards Personal Video Recorders (TiVo
other components against surge damage and line noise distortion on a single dial-
up line. Built-in splitter (one jack in and two jacks out) allows you to
simultaneously connect and protect two components sharing a single line.
Circuit Breaker: protects against dangerous system overload. If the total load on
the Console Component Power Center's outlets exceeds 15 amps, the circuit
breaker will trip and power will be turned off at all outlets. Reduce the load by
unplugging some devices. Press the circuit breaker in to restore power.
10 ft. Cord and Right Angle Plug: right angle plug allows equipment and
furniture to be flush against the wall. Connect to a standard 3-wire grounded 120V
AC, 60 Hz. wall outlet.
