SERIES II 15 AMP Power ConditionerS

The PL-8 II features LED rack lights which produce virtually no heat and provide an extremely long life span. A dimmer control for the rack lights allows the user to adjust the level of illumination or simply switch the lights off. Additionally, a rear mounted BNC jack accepts any standard (12VAC 0.5 amp) gooseneck lamp for rear rack illumination. The PL-8 II has a master switch for all outlets that glows red when the power is on. The front- panel circuit breaker can be quickly and easily reset should the unit be overloaded. The PL-8

IIalso features a 10 foot, 14 gauge heavy-duty power cable.

PL-PLUS SERIES II

The PL-Plus II features LED rack lights which produce virtually no heat and provide an extremely long life span. A dimmer control for the rack lights allows the user to adjust the level of illumination or simply switch the lights off. A rear mounted BNC jack accepts any standard (12VAC 0.5 amp) gooseneck lamp for rear rack illumination.

Additionally, the PL-Plus II offers a 20 segment LED bar-graph meter that displays incoming voltage between 90 and 128 volts in 2-volt steps. The normal range voltages are indicated in green, with moderately and extremely high or low voltages in yellow and red respectively. The voltmeter’s accuracy is ±2 volts. It can easily be re-calibrated, if necessary.
