PLANNING YOUR SYSTEM

PLANNING YOUR SYSTEM

Think about which components need to work together, and place them in close proximity to one another. You may also want to consider putting frequently handled components in the most con- venient locations. By carefully planning the system’s architecture in advance, your AC-8CX can be integrated into any configuration you choose.

IMPORTANT NOTE

All components in a system must be connected to an iPOWERPower Management System in order for the system to be protected from electrical disturbances and to realize maximum noise filtration benefits. This includes AC power cables, coaxial connections, and telephone cables used with pay-per-view systems. Failure to do this will degrade system performance and leave it vulnerable to electrical damage.

PROPER GROUNDING

Your iPOWERproduct will not be able to provide surge protection or noise reduction without a proper ground. If the AC line in your house is properly grounded, the GROUND OK light will illuminate. If the GROUND OK light does not illuminate, stop your installation. Check the AC connection and make sure that the unit is plugged in properly. If the GROUND OK light still fails to illuminate, have the AC outlet in the house checked by an electrician to diagnose the ground problem.
