Plug the PowerPlay into a 2 pole, 3 wire grounded receptacle.
Determining the Load
If rated capabilities are exceeded an overload condition may occur and cause the device to shut down and/or trip the circuit breaker. In order to determine the load follow these steps:
1.Make a list of all devices you will power from the PowerPlay and the power consumption ratings of each. This information can generally be found on each device near the AC inlet or in the device’s operations manual.
2.Calculate the sum of the consumption ratings.
3.Ensure to the total consumption does not exceed the capabilities of the PowerPlay.
If the load exceeds rated capabilities we suggest using an additional PowerPlay device in order to protect and control your equipment.
