Introduction
1.1 Overview
PowerPoint is a simple to use power distribution unit with a 3 phase mains input (single phase input available) and either 6 or 12 single phase outputs depending upon the model.
Designed for applications wherever fixed or mobile power distribution is required, the PowerPoint distribution rack offers a 4-pole mains input isolator switch with Neutral Disconnect as standard and individual RCBO (RCD+MCB) per output channel. There are also 3 neon phase indicators to show power input to the rack.
Output circuit rating can be specified as either 10A, 16A or 25 Amps and back panel options include either Australian GPO, Socapex, Power Con or Hard Wired Terminals, depending upon the model.
1.2 Features
The PowerPoint Feature list includes:
- A front panel mounted 4-pole mains input isolator switch with neutral disconnect as standard provides easy access for quick isolation for the PowerPoint
- Three neon indicators show state of input phase power. Easily visible from a distance
- Twelve 10A, twelve 16A or six 25A output circuits
- Residual Current circuit Breaker with Overcurrent protection (RCBO) devices for each output circuit are used to combine protection against current overload and short circuits and protection against earth leakage currents. Essentially, they protect connected loads and prevent users from receiving a life threatening shock. Standard on all LSC power products
- The PowerPoint is at home as a 19″ rackmount module in portable flight cases or touring frames or permanently installed in equipment racks. Versatility plus for any situation!
- Three phase operation
- Single phase operation possible
- Utilizing the same proven mechanical chassis as LSC’s premier products such as the APS power distribution unit, GEN VI and RED3 dimmers, the PowerPoint is built to the same exacting standards ensuring great consistent performance when you need it, time after time.

Setting Up and Connecting
3.1 Safety
All electrical work must be carried out by suitably qualified persons.
3.2 Unpacking
Your PowerPoint is fully tested and inspected before leaving the factory. Upon delivery, inspect the PowerPoint for signs of damage. In the event of any damage, contact your LSC agent.
3.3 Mounting
The PowerPoint is designed for mounting in a standard 19 inch rack. It occupies 3RU (Rack Units) of space.
3.4 Connections
3.4.1 Input Power Supply
Always ensure that the Input Isolator is in the OFF position before connecting or disconnecting the input power.
PowerPoint must be fed from a suitable external circuit breaker.
The nominal input voltage is 220-240 Volts. 3-phase Star (380-415V). 50-60Hz.
Single phase operation is possible but input current must be limited to 63A in total.
3.4.2 Outputs and Phasing
Always ensure that the Output Load RCBO’s are in the OFF position before connecting or disconnecting any loads.
The individual outputs are fed from the following input power phases. This input phase numbering is also shown on the front panel below each output circuit breaker.
| Input Phase | Output | Input Phase | Output |
| 1 | 1 | 1 | 7 |
| 2 | 2 | 2 | 8 |
| 3 | 3 | 3 | 9 |
| 1 | 4 | 1 | 10 |
| 2 | 5 | 2 | 11 |
| 3 | 6 | 3 | 12 |
Troubleshooting
Warning. No user controls or user serviceable parts are located inside the PowerPoint. Refer all servicing to suitably qualified personnel.
4.1 Maintenance
Check that all connector screw terminals (if fitted) are tight. This must be performed by a suitably qualified person.
4.2 Tripped Breakers
If a channel is not working check the RCBO (Residual Current circuit Breaker with Over current protection) for that channel. If the RCBO has tripped (OFF), firstly try to determine the cause of the breaker tripping. It could be a blown lamp or a circuit overload or a earth leakage fault. Rectify to problem (replace the lamp or reduce the load) then restore the RCBO by pushing it all the way down then lifting it up. If the RCBO continues to trip, refer the problem to a suitably qualified person.
