4.3. Connecting to Power Supply

DANGER
Electric shock caused by short-circuit

The device accepts AC mains power at 240 V and 50 Hz. Do not supply power at any other voltage or frequency to the device.

This device falls under IEC protection class I. Make sure that the device is always electrically connected to the ground (earth).

Before connecting the device to the socket-outlet:

• Make sure that the power supply matches the input voltage specified on the information label on the device.
• Make sure that the socket-outlet has ground (earth) connection.

Connect the device to the socket-outlet with a power plug. The power plug is not delivered with the device and should be purchased separately. Contact your Highlite International dealer for more information.

• Do not use the power plug as an on/off switch.
• Do not use the power plugs connected to the outputs as on/off switches to switch on the external devices connected to the outputs. Switch on the external devices only with their own power switches.

4.4. Power Linking of Multiple Devices

This device supports power linking. Power can be relayed to another device via one of the 3 power OUT connectors. Note that the input and the output connectors have different designs: one type cannot be connected to the other.

Power linking of multiple devices must be carried out only by instructed or skilled persons.

WARNING
Incorrect power linking may lead to overload of the electrical circuit and result in serious injuries and damage of property.

To prevent overload of the electrical circuit, when power linking multiple devices:

• Use cables with sufficient current-carrying capacity.
• Make sure that the total current draw of the device and all connected devices does not exceed the rated capacity of the power cables and the circuit breaker of the power supply.
• Do not link more devices on one power link than the maximum recommended number.

The maximum recommended number of devices depends on the total load of all linked Powerport devices and the devices connected to the 5 x Power Pro True connectors OUT (03/04/05/06/08). The total load of all linked devices shall not exceed 16 A.
