6. Operation
6.1 Powering On
Once all connections are secure and the voltage is selected, connect the power supply to the 120VAC power source. The unit will power on, and the status LEDs will illuminate.
6.2 Status LEDs
Each output channel has a dedicated status LED. These LEDs indicate the operational status of the respective output:
- LED ON: The output channel is functioning normally.
- LED OFF: The output channel is not receiving power, or its PTC fuse has tripped due to an overcurrent condition.
7. Maintenance
7.1 General Cleaning
Keep the unit clean and free from dust. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
7.2 PTC Fuses
The PH-A1612-PUQ uses PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) fuses, which are self-resetting. If an output LED is off, indicating a tripped fuse, disconnect the device from that output and allow a few minutes for the fuse to cool down and reset. If the problem persists, check the connected device for faults.
8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No power to the unit | Power cord disconnected; no AC power from outlet; internal fault. | Check power cord connection; test outlet with another device; contact customer support if problem persists. |
| Individual output LED is OFF | Overcurrent on the channel; short circuit in connected device; PTC fuse tripped. | Disconnect device from output; wait for PTC fuse to reset (a few minutes); check connected device for faults; reconnect device. |
| Incorrect output voltage | Voltage selection switch set incorrectly. | Disconnect power; verify and adjust the voltage selection switch to the correct setting (24VAC or 28VAC). |
