Switched Power Outlets 
There are 12 switched AC outlets on the rear panel that are controlled by the RLC-1050. In addition there is one unswitched outlet. Each of the switched outlets has separate turn-on delay and turn-off delay controls. The outlets on the RLC-1050 are a “universal” type which will accept virtually any type of power plugs.
NOTE: The RLC-1050 can provide up to 1500 watts of power. All electrical devices list the amount of power they will draw on the back panel. Add up the wattage of all the components that will be connected to the RLC-1050 to be sure it does not exceed 1500 watts.
Turn-On Delay Controls and Turn-Off Delay Controls 
Each switched outlet of the RLC-1050 has separate turn-on delay and turn-off delay con- trols. The delay for each control can be ad- justed from 1 to 30 seconds. When the con- trols are turned all the way counterclockwise the delay is only 1 second. When the con- trols are turned all the way clockwise the de- lay is 30 seconds.
By setting the controls so that the system com- ponents turn on and off in the proper sequence, turn-on and turn-off thumps noises can be pre- vented.
13-17 second delay
3-5 second delay | | 23-27 second delay |
|
1 second delay | | 30 second delay |
Signal sources such as CD players should be turned on first. Set the Turn-On Delay Con- trols for these components for 1 second de- lay. Components such as signal processors should be turned on next. Set the Turn-On Delay Control for these components to pro- vide a somewhat greater turn on delay. Am- plifiers should be turned on last, and so should have the greatest amount of turn on delay. That does not mean that the Turn-On Delay Con- trol for the amplifier must be at the maximum setting. A delay of 10-15 seconds may be enough to prevent turn on noises.

NOTE: Amplifiers can draw large amounts of power. A high power amplifier can draw more power than the RLC-1050 can handle. Do not connect components to the RLC-1050 that will require more than 1500 watts total.
Generally the components should be turned off in the reverse order they are turned on. Amplifiers should be turned off first and sig- nal sources last. Components that have short turn-on delays should have long turn-off de- lays. Components that have long turn-on de- lays should have short turn-off delays.
Power Indicators 
The Power Indicators for each switched out- let light when power is applied to the outlet. These indicators provide a visual indication of the sequence in which the various power outlets are turned on and off.
Unswitched Outlet 
The unswitched outlet may be used in one of two ways. If the Switched Outlets of the RLC-1050 are not activated with either the AC Line In Control Cord or the 12V Trigger In, it must be connected to the Unswitched outlet. Otherwise the RLC-1050 Switched Out- lets will not be activated. If one of the two control systems is used to activate the RLC-1050 switched outlets, the Unswitched Outlet may be used to supply power to a com- ponent that should always be powered.
NOTE: Do not connect a component that requires more than 400 watts to the Unswitched outlet.

Circuit Breaker 
If the components connected to the RLC-1050 draw more power than it can safely deliver, or if there is a short circuit in one of the power lines of one of the components, the Circuit Breaker will be tripped. If this occurs, turn off the RLC-1050 and check to be sure the total power requirements of the components con- nected to the RLC-1050 does not exceed 1500 watts.
If the power requirements of the connected components is not greater than 1500 watts the circuit breaker being tripped might indi- cate a problem in one of the components. Try the following test to isolate a potentially de- fective component. First, turn off all the con- nected components with their built-in power switches. Turn on the RLC-1050 and activate the Switched Power Outlets. Then turn on the components connected to the RLC-1050 one by one. Turn them on in the same order they would be turned on by the RLC-1050 – sig- nal sources first, amplifier last. If the Circuit Breaker is tripped as soon as a component is turned on it indicates a problem with that component.
Troubleshooting
Most difficulties are the result of incorrect con- nections, or improper control settings. The Main Power Indicator should be lit whenever the RLC-1050 is plugged into the wall power outlet, and the Main Power Switch is pushed. If it does not light, test the power outlet that the Main Power cord of the RLC-1050 is plugged into with another electrical device, such as a lamp. Be sure the power outlet being used is not con- trolled by a switch that has been turned off.
