SurgeX SX1115RT Installation Instructions

Installation Instructions

SX1115RT and SX1120RT

Mounting

The SurgeX SX1115/1120RT are designed to be installed in a 19 inch equipment

rack and require one unit (1-U) of rack space. Remove the product from its

packaging and slide it into place in the rack being careful to feed the power cord

into the rack first and guide it so that it does not get caught or jammed as the

product is installed. Use the four screws provided with the product to secure the

rack ears to the rack rails. These screws can be tightened by hand and do not

require tools.

Connect power to the unit by plugging the cord into a 120V ac receptacle. The

SX1120RT must be plugged into a 20 amp receptacle. If a 120V, 20 amp

receptacle is not available, you will need to have one installed by a licensed

electrical contractor.

The SX1115/1120RT have a total of 9 receptacles: six switched, two always on

and a front panel courtesy outlet. Each receptacle is rated for a maximum load of

15 amps, but the total load must not exceed 15 amps for the SX1115RT and 20

amps for the SX1120RT. Plug the equipment cords into the always-on and

switched receptacles as needed to power the equipment.

The always-on and courtesy receptacles provide power as long as power is

supplied to the SurgeX and the AC voltage is within normal limits. The six

switched outlets provide power only when the front panel switch is on and the

remote control input is also activated.

Page 1 Each receptacle is rated for a maximum load of 15 amps, but the total load must not exceed 15 amps for the SX1115RT and 20 amps for the SX1120RT. Plug the equipment cords into the always-on and switched receptacles as needed to power the equipment.
Page 2 The yellow Remote light indicates that the remote control is active and the rear switched receptacles are on. CAUTION: Do not repeatedly turn an SX1115RT or an SX1120RT off—on— off—on with a heavy load connected. The ICE™ circuitry absorbs the inrush energy each time the unit is turned on and may overheat if this is done too many times in a short period of time.
Page 3 Control of the switched receptacles can be accomplished by using a switch (contact closure), another SurgeX product such as the SEQ, or by an applied voltage (5 to 30 volts DC). When using a switch, choose a switch with gold contacts for the best long-term reliability.
Page 4 There is a 1 second delay before the aux relay closes which gives time for the SurgeX Inrush Current Elimination (ICE™) circuit to operate. This short delay in combination with the SurgeX ICE™...
