A digital voltage reading meter is provided on the front panel to indicate the voltage of the incoming AC line. The meter’s blue LEDs illuminate when the unit is connected to a live main. The illumination may be changed using the front panel DIMMER control.

DIGITAL AMMETER

A digital current reading meter is provided on the front panel to indicate the amount of current being drawn from the AC line. The meter’s blue LEDs illuminate when the unit is connected to a live main. The illumination may be changed using the front panel DIMMER control.

installation overview

The following is an overview for installing your Power Manager product.

•Unpack all of the contents of the T200 carton.

•Plan your system and lay out all of the equipment that will be connected to the T200.

•Place the T200 in the location where it will be used, being sure to follow both the safety precautions listed in the front of this manual and the placement recommendations (see below). DO NOT plug the unit in yet.

•Plug each of the components into the T200. You may want to make a note on paper listing the components that are connected to each outlet.

•Connect any devices with coaxial outputs to the F-connectors.

•Attach the phone / data line to the RJ-45 IN jack.

•With all of the attached components in the OFF position, plug the T200 into the wall.

planning your system

Think about which components need to work together, and place them in close proximity to one another. Be aware of those products that generate the most heat and understand that excessive heat adversely effects your components. Place them accordingly - allowing sufficient ventilations. You may also want to consider putting frequently handled components in the most convenient locations. Decisions about triggering options for your T200 will depend on many factors including the type of components in the system and whether they are self-controlled or part of a multi-room or whole-house system. By carefully planning the system’s architecture in advance, your T200 can be integrated into any configuration you choose.

All components in a system must be connected to a Power Manager in order for the system to be protected from electrical disturbances and to achieve maximum noise and AC line conditioning benefits. This includes AC power cables, coaxial connections, and telephone and/or data cables. Failure to do this will degrade system performance and leave it vulnerable to electrical damage.

PLACEMENT

It is recommended that the T200 be placed in the same location as your other audio/video components so it can be easily reached when manually operating the other controls in the system. There should be a clear line of sight between the operator and the unit to allow easy user feedback of system status. The T200 should be placed on a flat, stable shelf or platform.
