The sockets on the Power Bars will correspond to the sockets they are connected to: Connect the power bar to the S1/S4 Socket and the sockets will be Socket Outlet 1-4 Connect the power bar to the S5/S8 Socket and the sockets will be Socket Outlet 5-8

This socket assignment cannot be changed!


Digital 6 Socket Power Bars

To enable Digital 6 Socket Power Bars you should follow the instructions that can be found here " Enabling Digital Power Bars " Digital 6 Socket Power Bars can be daisy chained together along with Dosing Pumps as they come with two Western Socket Connections. One for input and one for pass through to another Digital 6 Socket Power Bars or Dosing Pump.

Mounting

The digital powerbars are not waterproof! Therefore avoid splash water and high humidity, place the powerbar at a safe location! The powerbar can be mounted by using the mounting holes on the sides. No outdoor use!

Operation

The digital powerbar has 6 switchable sockets, S1 to S6. The current state of each socket is indicated by a red LED. The green LED indicates that power is present. If the data transfer between ProfiLux and the digital powerbar is interrupted for more than one minute the digital powerbar restores the initial socket states and the green LED starts blinking. The yellow LED shows that there is communication with ProfiLux.

Before you can use a digital powerbar with ProfiLux make sure:

  • ProfiLux has at least firmware 3.00
  • Alter the settings of port S1-S4 of your ProfiLux adequately

Please read further and important information in the operation manual of ProfiLux!

Loads & fuses

The digital powerbar has 2 types of sockets:

  • High power: Up to 10A, NOT protected against high inrush currents, these are S3 and S4
  • Inrush current protected: Up to 6.3A, protected against high inrush currents, these are S1, S2, S5 and S6

Each socket has its own fuse, please note that there are different types of fuses given, see graphics below. A blown fuse can be replaced by opening the housing. Replace fuses only when mains supply is completely disconnected! Be careful and don't damage the electronics when opening the housing and replacing a fuse!

A high inrush current can be defined as a current peak (> 100A) at the moment of switching on a device (usually for about 10ms). Devices with typically high inrush currents are for example: Lamp ballasts (conventional AND electronic versions) or switching power supplies. Please connect these devices to an inrush current protected socket! Otherwise the relays will be damaged.
