ISOBAR® RACKMOUNT SURGE

SUPPRESSORS & LINE-NOISE FILTERS

Designed to occupy one standard 19 in. rack space

Congratulations! You now own the best quality surge suppressor available. The UL-listed IBAR series features proven ISOBAR® surge-suppression technology, providing maximum protection against harmful AC transients, including voltage spikes, surges and RFI/EMI line noise. These types of interference are common in all commercial AC power systems.

INSTALLATION

(ALL MODELS): Four screws* will secure the IBAR into rack position. After screwing IBAR into rack, simply plug the line cord into a grounded 3-conductor, 120-Volt AC outlet. DO NOT use 2-wire extension cords or adapters. Lack of a proper ground connection will eliminate common-mode protection and cause a small leakage potential on the case. However, you can plug 2-wire devices into any of the outlets.

*Rack screws are user-supplied on IBAR 12 & IBRM 12/15A-L20P. IBAR 12 ULTRA, IBAR 12/20 ULTRA & IBRM 8/20A-L20P include 4 rack screws and an allen wrench.

NOTE!

(IBAR 12, IBAR 12 ULTRA & IBRM 12/15A-L20P)DO NOT exceed the MAXIMUM LOAD of 15 amps that can be drawn from each AC outlet. DO NOT exceed the MAXIMUM LOAD of 15 amps that can be drawn from all twelve outlets combined.

(IBAR 12/20 ULTRA & IBRM 8/20A-L20P)DO NOT exceed the MAXIMUM LOAD of 15 amps that can be drawn from each AC outlet located on the front of the unit. DO NOT exceed the MAXIMUM LOAD of 20 amps that can be drawn from each AC outlet located on the rear of the unit. DO NOT exceed the MAXIMUM LOAD of 20 amps that can be drawn from all of the eight outlets combined.

FEATURES

CIRCUIT BREAKER (ALL MODELS)

If the current draw of the equipment connected to the IBAR exceeds 15 amps (or 20 amps for IBAR 12/20 and IBRM 8/20A-L20P) for longer than a few seconds, the circuit breaker will open (trip) to prevent any possible damage. When the circuit breaker trips, its plunger will be extended. Allow the breaker to cool for one minute before depressing its plunger to reset.

ILLUMINATED “ON/OFF” SWITCH (IBAR 12, IBAR 12 ULTRA & IBRM 12/15A-L20P)**

With the IBAR plugged into a 120V AC, 60 Hz AC outlet, this switch will illuminate RED whenever moved to the “ON” position. This indicates 120V AC power is present at the IBAR’s AC receptacles.

**IBAR 12/20 ULTRA features an unilluminated “ON/OFF” Switch which displays a RED marking along its edge when it is in the “ON” position.

ISOLATED FILTER BANKS & CASCADE CIRCUITRY (IBAR 12, IBAR 12 ULTRA & IBRM 12/15A-L20P)

Isolated Filter Banks prevent equipment plugged into each filter bank from interacting with equipment plugged into the other filter bank. Cascade Circuitry provides different levels of protection between the Isolated Filter Banks.

There are two Isolated Filter Banks on the IBAR 12, IBAR 12 ULTRA & IBRM 12/15A-L20P.*** Isolated Filter Bank #2 provides the highest level of protection for your most sensitive equipment. Isolated Filter Bank #1 provides standard protection for your less-sensitive or noise-producing equipment.

*** See rear panel diagrams on page 3 to locate the filter banks on your model.
