Introduction

Congratulations on purchasing your Samson PowerStrip, PowerBrite, or PowerBrite Pro! This manual covers three products: the PowerStrip PS9; the PowerBrite PB9; and the PowerBrite Pro7. All three of these single-space rack units provide multiple outlets for reliable power distribution with 3-point surge and peak protection, plus RF (Radio Frequency) filtering. The three products differ in that the PowerBrite and PowerBrite Pro also provide a front-panel 4 watt fluorescent light (tucked away in a lockable slide-out drawer) which can be used to fully illuminate your entire rack of gear. The PowerBrite Pro7 also provides a rear-panel 12 volt DC lamp connector and a front-panel voltmeter and ammeter.

In addition, both the PowerBrite PB9 and PowerBrite Pro7 allow you to substitute your own custom facility logo or band name in the front panel inlay. (See the inside back cover of this manual for more information.)

In this manual, you’ll find a more detailed description of the features of your PowerStrip PS9, PowerBrite PB9, or PowerBrite Pro7, as well as instructions for its use and complete specifications. You’ll also find a warranty card enclosed—don’t forget to fill it out and mail it in! This will enable you to receive online technical support and will allow us to send you updated information about other Samson products in the future.

SPECIAL NOTE: Should your PowerStrip PS9, PowerBrite PB9, or PowerBrite Pro7 ever require servicing, a Return Authorization number (RA) is necessary. Without this number, the unit will not be accepted.

If purchased in the United States, please call Samson at (516) 364-2244 for a Return Authorization number prior to shipping the unit. If purchased outside the U.S., contact your local Samson dealer for details. Please retain the original packing material and, if possible, return the unit in its original carton and packing materials.

WARNING: Though the PowerStrip PS9, PowerBrite PB9, and PowerBrite Pro7 all provide both surge and peak protection, they are not designed to protect against major overload situations such as lightning strikes or connection to incorrect voltage supplies. In the event of either occurrence, unplug all connected equipment immediately and have your

service center before using it again.
