AC-Power Outlets r

The RLC-1080 Power Conditioner provides for connection of up to twelve (12) components. The outlets are arranged according to the type of filtering protection provided for a given component type. These Isolated Noise Filter Banks (INFBs) eliminate EMI and RFI that can negatively impact sound and video quality. You should plug your components into the recom- mended outlets to achieve optimum protection for your equipment.

Note: All outlets provide surge protection, voltage protection, noise filtering and pure sine wave battery backup power.

DIGITAL FILTER Outlets eliminate noise interference for Digital Components (CD, DVD, DVR, CATV/SAT, Flat Panel Monitors, Hi-Def tuners, etc.).

Note: Any digital device can be plugged into the DIGITAL FILTER outlets, any video device can be plugged into either of the VIDEO FILTER outlets, etc. For example, if you have a cable box and a satellite receiver, but no monitor, you can plug the cable box into the “CATV/SAT” outlet, and the satellite receiver into the “Moni- tor” outlet.

VIDEO FILTER Outlets provide filtering for video devices (TV and VCR).

ANALOG FILTER Outlets provides filtering for analog-based equipment (TUNER/AUX and Preamp/Receiver).

HIGH CURRENT FILTER Outlets provide filtering for high-current devices (SUBWOOFER

and AMPLIFIER).

EXTERNAL BATTERY Connector t

This provides a connection for the optional Extended Battery Pack. Ask your Rotel dealer for additional information.

Cooling Fan y

The RLC-1080 has a micro-processor controlled, ultra-quiet cooling fan, which keeps the unit cool when operating on battery power.

Surge Protected COAX/RF

Connectors u

The surge protection feature prevents surges traveling over coaxial data lines from damaging the system. Connect the coaxial cable from the CATV or Cable Modem provider to the connector marked “IN”, connect other cables from the connectors marked “OUT” to the device(s) being protected (CATV box or Cable Modem). The RLC-1080 has an internal cable splitter so a single cable input can provide a signal to two components.

The RLC-1080 also provides the same surge protection for your satellite or RF antenna sys- tem. Connect the coaxial cable from the satellite or antenna system to the connector marked “IN”, connect another coaxial cable from the connector marked “OUT” to the device being protected.

CIRCUIT BREAKER i

This “press-to-reset” Circuit Breaker may be “tripped” when there is a power line electrical surge or when the unit is overloaded. If such conditions occur the circuit breaker button pops out and shuts down output power to the outlets. To reset the Circuit Breaker simply push the button in.

Caution: When resetting the Circuit Breaker, push the button in quickly and release it. Do not hold the Circuit Breaker button in. Doing so may result in equipment damage.

SYSTEM GROUND Screw o

Provides for the connection of grounding wires from all of your equipment. Grounding all your equipment to a single terminal prevents “ground loop” problems that can cause an audible “hum” to be heard through the speakers.

DATA PORT Jack (USB) p

This port lets the RLC-1080 communicate with the included PowerChute Personal Edition software. If the RLC-1080 is also protecting a home com- puter, the software will automatically save files and properly shutdown the operating system if the unit about to shutdown due to a low battery condition. For more information regarding the installation and use of this software, see the documentation contained on the PowerChute Personal Edition CD.

Surge Protected Telephone Jacks (TEL/DVR/SAT/DSL) [

The RLC-1080 has a telephone line splitter (2-line 4-wire with splitter) with surge protection for components connected via telephone line. Con- nect the supplied RJ11 Telephone cable from the wall jack (source) to the telephone line connector marked “IN”. Connect the telephone cables from the equipment to be protected (Telephone, DVR, DSS, or DSL) to the connectors marked “OUT A” and “OUT B”.

ETHERNET Surge Protected Jacks

]

The RLC-1080 protects a device connected to a home network from surges traveling over Ethernet network data lines. Connect the supplied RJ-45 Cable from the wall jack (source) to the connec- tor marked “IN”. Connect another network cable from the connector marked “OUT” to the network equipment to be protected.

DC TRIGGER Jacks \

These jacks provide for the connection of a component acting as a DC trigger, which controls turn on/off, as well as sequencing of the “DE- LAYED1” and “DELAYED 2” outlet banks. The RLC-1080 also allows that DC signal to pass through to another connected component.

Caution: When making connections to the DC Trigger jacks, connect the source of the DC Trigger to the IN jack. The OUT jack should be used only as a pass-through. The DC Trigger signal can be short circuited if the input and output cables are reversed.

The maximum input voltage for the DC Trigger is 30VDC. Do not apply an AC voltage to the DC Trigger jacks. Failure to comply with this statement may result in equip- ment damage.

Input Power Connector a

Provides for connection of the supplied AC power cord to the RLC-1080. Connect the other end to a normal AC power outlet (15 Amp, 120 VAC, 50-60 Hz).

BUILDING WIRING FAULT Indicator

s

If this indicator is lit, one of three wiring prob- lems exists in the building wiring circuit: missing ground, overloaded neutral, or reversed polarity. An electrician should be consulted to resolve the problem.
