The Pyle PC0850 is a PDU Power Strip Surge Protector designed to provide excellent surge protection and power conditioning for various systems and equipment. It features a 15 Amp power supply conditioner, is rack-mountable, and includes 9 outlets (8 rear and 1 front).
Function Description:
The primary function of the PC0850 is to protect connected equipment from power spikes and surges, ensuring their longevity and reliable operation. Beyond basic surge protection, it incorporates a built-in AC noise filter that effectively eliminates radio frequency interference (RFI) and electromagnetic interference (EMI). This noise filtration helps to improve the performance of sensitive electronic equipment by providing a cleaner power supply. The unit is designed to be rack-mountable, making it suitable for integration into professional audio/video setups, server racks, or other rack-based systems. It provides a total of nine outlets, with one conveniently located on the front panel for easy access and eight on the rear for permanent connections. A master power switch controls the power to all outlets, and a "Protection OK" indicator light provides visual confirmation of the surge protection status. In case of an overload, a circuit breaker is included to protect the connected devices and the unit itself, with a "Push to Reset" button for easy restoration of power.

Maintenance Features:
- Cleaning: The unit should be cleaned with a damp cloth only. Avoid using solvents, abrasive cleaners, or pouring liquids onto or into the unit.
- Cord and Cable Management: Route the power cord and other cables carefully to prevent them from being walked on, tripped over, or stressed. Damaged cords and cables should be replaced immediately to prevent fire or injury.
- Storage: Unplug the unit during lightning storms or when it will be unused for long periods.
- Installation Safety: When wiring the unit and other connected equipment, ensure all equipment is turned OFF. After installation, power on all equipment with volume and level controls set to DOWN, then slowly raise them to proper positions.
- Hardware Inspection: Before placing, installing, rigging, or suspending the product, inspect all hardware, suspension, cabinets, brackets, and associated equipment for damage. Any missing, corroded, deformed, or non-load rated components can significantly reduce the strength of the installation and should be corrected immediately. Use only hardware rated for the loading conditions.
- Professional Consultation: Consult a licensed, professional engineer for physical equipment installation to ensure compliance with local, state, and national regulations.
- Servicing: Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required if the apparatus has been damaged (e.g., damaged power supply cord or plug, liquid spills, objects falling into the apparatus, exposure to rain or moisture, abnormal operation, or if it has been dropped).
- Environmental Considerations: Do not install near heat sources (radiators, heat registers, stoves, amplifiers). Do not expose the equipment to rain or moisture, and do not use it near water to prevent fire or electric shock.
- Plug Safety: Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. If the provided plug does not fit the outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
- Electrical Connection: The equipment should be connected to a 20 Ampere rated receptacle of the branch circuit. The total current drawn from the receptacles should not exceed 15 Amperes maximum, and no individual receptacle should draw more than 12 Amperes.
