Safety Information For national approvals (approval schemes other than CB), relevant national standards for plug, socket-outlet, and direct plug-in units (for example, US) shall also be consulted while testing and approving such products according to national standards. AC input rating (NA): 100 125V, 0.2A (Max); 50 60Hz excluding socket outlet rating. AC input rating (AU, UK, FR, EU): 200 250V, 0.2A (Max), 50 60Hz excluding socket outlet rating. Model Number ratings (maximum load): EU: 16A 250V~, UK: 13A 250V~, FR: 16A, 250V~, NA: 12A 125V~, AU: 10A, 250V~. Operating temperature: 0 40 C. 6
Check the electrical current for any device plugged into the filtered AC socket. Do not exceed home and product outlet ratings and electrical requirements. The socket-outlet must be installed near the equipment and be easily accessible. Only power cords are allowed to be inserted into the filtered AC outlet; no other equipment with a direct plug-in is allowed. Power cord needs to be a maximum of 1 m long and a minimum of 0.75 mm square of cross-sectional area. Do not plug devices into the PL200P filtered AC outlet that exceed the product ratings. The output voltage of the filtered AC outlet is the same as the power outlet that the PL200P is plugged into. To help avoid damaging your system, be sure that the attached devices are electrically rated to operate with the power available in your location. If the input AC voltage is less than 100 Vac, the device plugged into the filtered AC socket of the PL200P might not perform as well as expected. 7
DO NOT PLUG MAJOR HOME APPLIANCES into the filtered AC socket or into an attached powerstrip. The device is not intended to be used with home appliances, such as air conditioners, power tools, space heaters, fans, hair dryers, ovens, or refrigerators. 8
