PLANNING YOUR AC CONNECTIONS

Always On Outlets

For the Always On outlets, power will be routed to attached components at all times, regardless of

whether the Power Button on the AC-8CX is initiated or not. These outlets are appropriate for any

component that has a clock, timer, or that will be used as a master control or triggering unit for the

rest of the system. Devices suchas a VCR, DBS receiver,cable TV box, or anyitem with a

microprocessor should use the Always On outlets.

Switched Outlets

The Switched outlets power up the moment the Power Button is initiated. These outlets are appropri-

ate for devices with latching power supplies* suchas some CD players, tuners, tape decks, and some

televisions.If the power button on your iPOWER™unit is left permanently engaged, the Switched out-

lets will function identically to the Always On outlets described above.

*You can tell if a component has a latching power supply by unplugging it from the wall while it is turned on,

waiting three minutes, and then plugging it back in. If the power comes back on, it is latching.
