Circuit Breaker
The nine circuit-breaker protected outlets of the PPC 8000
and PPC 9000 are rated at 15 amps. If the total loading
exceeds this, the circuit breaker will trip, in which case it is
advised to unplug one or more of the connected devices and
press the circuit breaker switch (on the front of the unit) in
to reset.
Line Voltage Meter (PPC 9000 only)
These 20 colored LEDs give an indication of the Line Voltage
level of the PPC 9000 (or PPC 9000E, if that's your flavor)
between 90 and 128 Volts in two Volt steps. The green LEDs
indicate a typical voltage range, where the moderate voltage
levels are indicated in yellow. The dangerous voltage levels
are indicated in red. These Voltage readings, however, are
for reference only, and does in no way compensate for high
or low line voltage. Furthermore, give or take 2 Volts, the
accuracy of this Voltage meter is good, however this cannot
be assured in extremely hot or cold temperatures.

Lights
The PPC 8000 and 9000's lamps come with 5 watt light
bulbs, which can be replaced by readily available bulbs
in most hardware stores, or any other place where light
bulbs are sold. Removing the light bulbs to replace them is
relatively simple. By unscrewing the cap of the swivel-light,
you can simply remove and replace the bulb.
If you find that head expelled from the lighting tubes is
excessive, you may want to use the dimmer switch to reduce
the light's intensity. If unsatisfied with this, it is possible to
replace the 5 watt light bulb with a 4 watt bulb, thereby
reducing the amount of heat produced.
Both the PPC 8000 and 9000 have a master light switch on
the front, left hand side of the device. The lamps will still be
on if they are pushed in or if the main "Switched Outputs"
switch is off, so ensure that you turn the lights switch off
when not in use.
