planning your AC connections

CONNECTING COMPONENTS TO THE Tributaries T200

On the rear panel there are twelve (12) AC outlets. Connect the AC power cables from your components to the appropriate outlets on the Tributaries T200. Determine which components will be “Always-On”. Generally, these will be any components that have a clock-readout such as a VCR, Cable TV Tuner, Set-Top Box, or Satellite Receiver. For operational convenience, it is advisable to connect the AC plugs from these components to AC receptacles on the Tributaries T200 that are in the same, or adjacent pairs, of outlets.

!For maximum protection, connect your analog devices into the ANALOG outlets, digital components into the DIGITAL outlets and the high current components into the HIGH CURRENT outlets. However, for convenience, any component may be connected into any outlet without

causing harm to the individual components; they may not be afforded maximum filtering and conditioning.

Making connections

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 filtering and line conditioning benefits. This includes AC power cables, coaxial connections, data cables and telephone lines used with pay-per-view systems. Failure to do this will degrade system performance and leave it vulnerable to electrical damage.

CABLE TV AND/OR SATELLITE TV CONNECTIONS

The Tributaries T200 provides three pair (3pr) RF inputs & outputs for the protection of cable TV and/or satellite TV components. All inputs provide the same protection.

!For optimum performance, all cables used to connect to the RF inputs of the Tributaries T200 should be shielded RG 6. Contact your Tributaries Dealer for more information.

Connect the incoming cable TV line to the DSS/CATV 1 input. Connect the DSS/CATV 1 output to a cable TV tuner input. Connect the cable from a satellite dish to the DSS/CATV 2 input. Connect the DSS/CATV 2 to a satellite receiver or cable TV tuner input.

PHONE / DATA CONNECTIONS

The Tributaries T200 is designed with two (2) standard RJ45 data jacks and (1) standard RJ11 telephone jack. The RJ45 IN jack can be connected to an incoming phone line or data line. The OUT jacks consist on (1) RJ45 jack and (1) RJ11 jack.

If an incoming phone line is connected to the IN jack, you may connect the OUT jacks to either 1 or 2 devices with RJ11 input jacks. If the IN jack is connected to an incoming data line, using an RJ45 plug, you may connect the RJ45 OUT jack to a device with an RJ45 input jack.

TRIGGER CONNECTIONS

The TRIGGER IN provides a connection for one component that has a 3-12 volt DC trigger output to instruct the Tributaries T200 to turn-on. Simply connect a Tributaries Trigger Cable, or equivalent, 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 T200. Turning on that component will turn-on the Tributaries T200. Consequently, for the Tributaries T200 to turn-off, simply turn off the trigger component. The Tributaries T200 rear panel also provides a TRIGGER OUT that can be used to connect to another Tributaries T200 Power Manager or to a Tributaries Power Strip permitting turn-on of more components.
