Provides a common grounding point for equipment with sep- arate ground leads.

Outlet Bank 3

Two switched, high current outlets controlled by the front panel Power Button or the DC Trigger input. Bank 3 has a 5 second turn on delay and turns off immediately. The High Current outlets pro- vide power from a low impedance noise filtration circuit that does not limit the current to your equipment. Its output is noise isolated from all other outlet banks.
