Features
•Pure Sine Wave Battery Backup - The RLC-1080 provides battery backup power to maintain pure, uninterrupted power for your home theater and automation systems in the event of a power blackout. Battery backup power not only prevents interruptions in your entertainment, it also prevents lost pre-sets, lost multi-media server data, damaged hard drives, and premature projector bulb wear and tear.
•Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) - The RLC-1080 is unique in that it provides automatic voltage regulation, which is engaged to correct low and high voltage conditions. All equipment connected to the RLC-1080 is protected against these undesired voltage fluctuations, thus prolonging the life of the equipment. Low voltage conditions can also negatively impact video quality. Consequently this feature may help improve picture quality if power line voltage is low.
•Surge Protection - The RLC-1080 provides guaranteed protection against damaging surges, spikes and even lightning. It not only provides protection from surges from AC power lines, it also protects against surges from system data lines including COAX, telephone and Ethernet lines. With the RLC- 1080 all your equipment is protected.
•Isolated Noise Filter Banks - The RLC-1080 eliminates electromagnetic and radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI) that, when severe enough, can negatively impact sound and video quality. Each filter bank is electrically isolated from each other to prevent noise generated by one component from polluting other connected components. This noise filtering lets your system perform to its maximum capabilities.

•DC Trigger - When connected to a com- ponent that provides a DC trigger, that component controls the turning on and off, as well as sequencing of the ‘delayed’ outlet banks. The RLC-1080 also allows that DC signal to pass through to another connected component.
•Rack-mountable - Rack-mount hardware is included to mount the unit into any 4-post, 19” rack.
•Sequenced Turn ON/OFF - This feature ensures that connected equipment is powered- up/down in the proper order and with the right amount of delay between the stages. It allows the user to program a delay into the sequence of from 0 to 10 seconds. This delay eliminates transients that can affect connected components or cause the building circuit breaker to trip.

A Few Precautions
Please read this manual carefully. In addition to installation and operating instructions, it also provides important safety information. It is very important that you have read and understand all of the safety information located at the front of this manual. If you have any questions about the safety information, or are concerned that your home may not be properly wired for this equip- ment, please contact a qualified and licensed electrician.Please contact your authorized Rotel dealer for answers to any questions you might have. In addition, all of us at Rotel welcome your questions and comments.
Save the RLC-1080 shipping carton and pack- ing material for future use. Shipping or mov- ing the RLC-1080 in anything other than the original packing material may result in severe damage.
Be sure to keep the original sales receipt. It is your best record of the date of purchase, which you will need in the event warranty service is ever required.
Power Capacity
The RLC-1080 Power Conditioner is rated for 900 watts (continuous). It has been designed, however, to support current surges that are much higher than its continuous power rating. The RLC-1080 is capable of supplying the dynamic peak current draws required by any component designed to work on a 15 amp circuit. Despite their nameplate power ratings, high performance A/V equipment draw much less than their listed power ratings. The RLC-1080 can inform the user how much of the power capacity is available as equipment is connected to the unit.
Placement
The RLC-1080 is quite heavy. Keep this in mind when selecting an installation location. Make sure that the shelf or cabinet can support its weight.
Proper installation of your new Power Conditioner is important. If the unit is being mounted in a standard 19” rack, refer to the instruction sheet provided in the box containing the slide rails.
