The ADJ POW-R BAR LINK™ is a robust and versatile power distribution block designed for professional stage and touring environments. Its primary function is to provide reliable, surge-protected AC power to multiple devices from a single power source. This unit is engineered to withstand the rigors of frequent use and transport, making it an ideal solution for musicians, DJs, lighting technicians, and event producers who require a durable and efficient power management tool.
At its core, the POW-R BAR LINK features six surge-protected AC power sockets, allowing users to connect up to six AC-powered devices simultaneously. This eliminates the need for multiple power strips or extension cords, streamlining setup and reducing cable clutter on stage or in a rack. The surge protection feature is crucial for safeguarding valuable electronic equipment from unexpected power spikes, which can cause significant damage or failure. This protective measure ensures that connected devices receive clean and stable power, enhancing their longevity and operational reliability.
A key usage feature of the POW-R BAR LINK is its ability to be power-linked with additional units. This is achieved through integrated powerCON In and Out connectors. The powerCON Blue Input serves as the main power input for the unit, utilizing an included locking 6-ft powerCON power cord. This locking mechanism provides a secure connection, preventing accidental disconnections during live performances or events, which could otherwise lead to power interruptions and potential equipment damage. The powerCON Grey Output acts as a pass-through, allowing users to connect a linking cable (not included) to another POW-R BAR LINK unit. This daisy-chaining capability significantly expands the number of available power outlets from a single main power source, offering scalability and flexibility for larger setups without requiring additional wall outlets. This linking feature is particularly beneficial in environments where power outlets are scarce or when a centralized power distribution system is desired.
The construction of the POW-R BAR LINK emphasizes durability and longevity. It is built with heavy-duty metal, designed to withstand the physical demands of stage and touring life, including impacts, vibrations, and frequent handling. This rugged construction ensures that the unit remains functional and reliable even under challenging conditions. The inclusion of an M10 screw socket provides a convenient and secure point for clamp mounting, allowing the unit to be easily attached to trussing, lighting stands, or other rigging hardware (clamp not included). This mounting option helps keep the power distribution off the floor, reducing trip hazards and maintaining a tidy stage or workspace.
User-friendliness is also a significant aspect of the POW-R BAR LINK's design. It includes a reset switch, which acts as a built-in circuit breaker. If the maximum power output is exceeded, the switch will pop out, cutting power to the outlets to prevent overload and protect connected devices. This provides an immediate and easy way to restore power once the overload issue has been addressed, without the need to replace fuses. The clear labeling of inputs, outputs, and sockets further simplifies setup and operation, even for those unfamiliar with power distribution equipment.
In terms of maintenance, the POW-R BAR LINK is designed to be largely maintenance-free, with no user-serviceable parts inside. This design philosophy aims to minimize the need for user intervention and reduce the risk of improper repairs. Users are explicitly advised not to attempt any repairs themselves, as doing so will void the manufacturer's warranty and could potentially lead to further damage or safety hazards. Instead, any issues requiring service should be directed to qualified service personnel.
However, general maintenance practices are recommended to ensure optimal performance and longevity. These include regularly checking the power cord for any signs of fraying, crimping, or damage and replacing it with a similar power-rated cord if necessary. It is also important to ensure that power cords plugged into the device are safely routed and secured to prevent them from being walked on, pinched, or placed under heavy items, which could lead to damage. Disconnecting the device from the main power source during long periods of non-use is a good practice to conserve energy and prevent unnecessary wear.
Cleaning the device should only be performed after disconnecting it from the main power source. A soft, dry cloth can be used to wipe down the exterior, keeping it free from dust and debris. It is crucial to avoid using liquid cleaners or exposing the device to rain or moisture, as it is designed for indoor and dry location use only. Proper ventilation is also important; the device should be installed in an area that allows approximately 6 inches (15cm) of space between it and any walls or other fixtures to prevent overheating.
The POW-R BAR LINK is not intended to be plugged into a dimmer pack, as this could damage the unit or connected devices. It must always be connected to an appropriate power source to effectively power the AC outlets. Adherence to these safety guidelines and operational instructions is paramount to ensure the safe and reliable performance of the unit and to maintain the manufacturer's warranty. The device's robust design and essential safety features make it a reliable choice for managing power in demanding professional audio and lighting applications.
