Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of either the Phonic PPC
8000 or PPC 9000 Power Conditioners – the perfect addition
to your rack-mounted system. Not only will the PPC 8000
and 9000 provide 8 switched (and a single unswitched)
AC outlets, but also provide light in studios, on stage, and
in other dark areas, through the use of its slide-out, swivel
lights. The Dimmer control ensures the light intensity is set
to your desired level. Installing the PPC 8000 or PPC 9000
Power Conditioners to the top of your rack can ensure all
items in your set can receive a suitable amount of light and
power, while still being protected by from high-voltage surges
and transients.

Features

● Eight switched outlets on the rear of the unit
● Single, unswitched outlet on the front
● Two swiveling light fixtures for rack illumination, featuring
dimmer switch
● RFI / EMI filtering
● Circuit Breaker with a 15 amp rating(10 amp on "E"
models)
● Ten-foot, heavy-duty 14-gauge AC power cord
● Triple-mode Varistor spike and surge protection
● PPC 9000(E) addition: 20-segment, line voltage meter
reading from 90 to 128 Volts(180 to 256 Volts on the "E"
model)

Power

The PPC 8000 and 9000 both feature a main switch for the
outlets on the rear of the device, which illuminates when
enabled. Also featured is a single, unswitched power outlet,
unique to these models, which provides the user with a
single power socket for use when all the switched sockets
are deactivated, allowing you to save power and, of course,
money, whenever possible.

Protection

The built-in suppression circuit acts rapidly – in less than a
nanosecond – ensuring brief surges are reduced to safe levels
in an instant. The maximum level that can be suppressed is
�40 VAC, effective for spikes on any of the three AC pins, and
the clamping circuitry can absorb a total of up to 240 joules,
providing an enormous amount of protection to equipment.
This filter also works to protect against Radio Frequency
Interference and Electro Magnetic Interference, helping to
avoid any electronic signals contaminating an AC line, thereby
ensuring no foreign signals sullying audio quality. This filter
can help to avoid noise that may typically occur from the use
of fluorescent lights, dimmers, radios transmitters and other
devices which may cause unwanted interference.
The PPC 8000 and 9000 units do not provide protection
against accidental (or intentional, for that matter) connection
to a power supply of an inappropriate voltage. Irreversible
damage can occur to not only the PPC device, but also to
other devices connected to the Power Conditioner. Therefore,
all care should be taken when connecting the PPC 8000 or
9000 to a power supply. If unsure of local voltage levels, in
no way should you try to use this device until you locate this
information.
Lightning poses a large problem in regards to power
protection in products. Provided lightning strikes at a distant
power line, the disturbance caused will be relatively small,
ensuring the spikes are absorbed by the in-built transient
suppressors, making them invisible. A more severe problem
is posed, however, if the lightning strike is somewhat more
direct (and less distant). In such a case, the PPC 8000 and
9000 are generally able to ensure protection to devices
plugged into them, provided the ground pins are left in the
AC cords when connecting them.
