Frequently Asked Questions - PS6 DBX

How does the sequential power up function work?

The PS6 powers on outlets one by one with a 1-second delay between each to prevent inrush current and avoid tripping breakers. Power down is simultaneous.

Can I use the PS6 with 220V power?

No, the PS6 is designed for 120V AC only. Using with higher voltage may damage the unit and void warranty.

How many devices can I connect?

Up to 6 devices with a total current draw not exceeding 15A (1800W at 120V).

Does the PS6 protect against power surges?

Yes, it provides 1400 Joule surge protection to safeguard connected equipment from voltage spikes.

Can I mount the PS6 in a rack?

Yes, it is 1U rack mountable and includes rack ears for standard 19-inch racks.

What do the LEDs indicate?

Each outlet has an LED that lights up green when power is applied. A flashing LED may indicate a fault.

Is the PS6 suitable for audio equipment?

Yes, it features EMI/RFI filtering to reduce noise and ensure clean power for sensitive audio gear.

What should I do if a outlet stops working?

First check if the overload protection has tripped. Reduce load and reset by power cycling. If issue persists, contact support.

Can I replace the power cord?

The power cord is hardwired and not user-replaceable. If damaged, the unit should be serviced by a professional.

How do I clean and maintain the PS6?

Disconnect power and wipe with a soft dry cloth. Do not use liquids or solvents. No internal maintenance required.
