Q1: What is the main purpose of the delay function on this power sequencer?
The 1.5-second delay between each outlet's activation prevents all your equipment from drawing power at the exact same moment. This staggered startup eliminates harmful inrush current surges, protecting sensitive components in amplifiers, computers, and other devices from potential damage.
Q2: Can I use this sequencer with equipment that has different voltage requirements (e.g., 120V and 230V)?
Yes. The sequencer supports a wide input voltage range of 110V to 240V, making it compatible with common standards used in North America, Europe, Asia, and other regions. You must ensure the input power supplied to the sequencer itself matches your local voltage.
Q3: How do I use the remote control when the power sequencer is installed inside a closed metal cabinet?
The product includes a remote control receiver with an extension cable. You can detach the receiver from the main unit and mount it outside the cabinet using the provided cable. This allows the infrared signal from the remote to reach the receiver without obstruction.
Q4: What should I connect to the two auxiliary outlets that are labeled as "direct power"?
The two auxiliary outlets are not part of the sequenced delay circuit and provide continuous power whenever the unit is plugged in. They are best suited for low-power devices that need to remain on, such as modems, routers, chargers, or control systems. Do not connect high-power equipment like amplifiers to these direct outlets.
