The ADJ PC-100A is a robust power distribution unit designed for professional audio, video, and lighting setups. It serves as a centralized power control solution, allowing users to manage the power supply to multiple devices from a single, rack-mountable unit. The primary function of the PC-100A is to provide a safe and organized way to power up to eight individual pieces of equipment, each with its own dedicated control.
The core function of the ADJ PC-100A is power distribution and control. It features eight 120V 3-prong sockets located on the rear panel, each capable of supplying power to a connected device. On the front panel, there are eight corresponding lighted on/off rocker switches, providing individual control over each rear-panel socket. This allows users to selectively power on or off specific equipment without affecting others. This individual control is particularly useful in complex setups where different components need to be activated or deactivated at various times, or for troubleshooting purposes.
A key safety feature of the PC-100A is its resettable 15A No Fault Breaker (NFB). This breaker acts as an overload protection mechanism, automatically tripping to cut off power if the total current draw exceeds 15 amperes, thereby preventing damage to the connected equipment and the unit itself. Once tripped, the breaker can be manually reset, allowing for quick recovery after an overload condition has been addressed. This feature is crucial for protecting valuable equipment from potential electrical surges or excessive current draw.
The unit is designed to be rack-mountable, fitting into a standard 19-inch equipment rack and occupying a single rack space (1U). This design ensures seamless integration into existing rack systems, promoting a neat and professional installation. The PC-100A comes with an attached main 3-prong power cord, which connects the unit to a suitable power source. This integrated cord simplifies setup and ensures a reliable connection to the main power supply.
The ADJ PC-100A is engineered for straightforward and reliable operation. To use the device, users first connect up to eight pieces of equipment to the 3-prong sockets on the rear panel. It is essential to ensure that the power cords of the connected devices are inserted securely into these sockets. Once all equipment is connected, the PC-100A's main power cord is plugged into a suitable power source. The unit can then be installed and secured into a 19-inch rack using appropriate rack screws (not included), ensuring a stable and permanent setup.
The lighted on/off rocker switches on the front panel provide clear visual feedback on the power status of each channel. When a switch is in the "on" position, its light illuminates, indicating that power is being supplied to the corresponding rear socket. This visual cue makes it easy to monitor and control the power status of individual devices, even in low-light environments.
Users must adhere to specific safety guidelines to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the PC-100A. It is critical not to exceed 10A per channel or a total of 15A for all channels combined. Overloading the unit can trigger the No Fault Breaker and, if persistent, could lead to damage. The device is intended for indoor and dry locations only, and exposure to rain or moisture must be avoided. Furthermore, the unit should never be plugged into a dimmer pack, as this can cause operational issues and potential damage. Regular checks of the power cord for fraying, crimping, or damage are recommended, and any damaged cords or power sockets should prompt immediate discontinuation of use and contact with customer support.
The ADJ PC-100A is designed with minimal user-serviceable parts, emphasizing its robust and low-maintenance nature. Users are explicitly advised not to attempt any repairs themselves, as doing so will void the manufacturer's warranty. Any modifications to the device or disregard of safety guidelines will also void the warranty and any claims for repairs. In the event of damage or malfunction, the unit should be transported for service using its original packaging and materials to ensure safe transit.
Routine maintenance primarily involves keeping the unit clean and ensuring it is operated within its specified environmental conditions. Wiping down the exterior with a dry cloth can help maintain its appearance and prevent dust buildup. It is important to ensure that the device is always used in a dry, indoor environment, as exposure to moisture can lead to electrical hazards and damage.
The resettable 15A No Fault Breaker is a self-contained maintenance feature, automatically protecting the unit from overloads. Users do not need to replace fuses; instead, they can simply reset the breaker once the cause of the overload has been identified and resolved. This design simplifies troubleshooting and reduces the need for replacement parts.
For any issues that cannot be resolved through basic troubleshooting or if the unit requires professional attention, ADJ provides customer support. Users are instructed to contact the service department to obtain a Return Authorization (RA) number before sending the product for service. This process ensures that the unit is properly tracked and handled by authorized personnel. The warranty covers manufacturing defects in material and workmanship for a prescribed period, and ADJ Products, LLC will replace defective parts with new or refurbished components, covering labor expenses for warranty service. This commitment to support ensures that the PC-100A remains a reliable component of any professional setup.
