 The ACD-100 AC Power Distro is an extremely compact, low cost
rack-mount power distribution system that is ideal for touring
PA systems, touring musical and theatrical acts, mobile recording
facilities, on-location film and video shoots, etc.-any situation
where AC power must be distributed to multiple circuits and a hard-wired,
built-in system is missing, inadequate, or impractical. Use of
a Power Distro is cost-effective, both in terms of the convenience
it offers and the elimination of bulky and expensive parallel feeds
and related connectors.
The ACD-100 can handle up to 100 amps of incoming power, distributing
it to five 20 amp, 120V circuits. Each circuit has a neon status
indicator that lights up when its breaker is turned on, and a 20
amp duplex outlet on the rear panel.
The circuit breakers used in the ACD-100 are high-inrush magnetic
types designed specifically for critical data processing and broadcast
applications where nuisance tripping cannot be allowed. They have
a pulse tolerance* of 10 times the rated current, or 200 amperes.
This makes them particularly suited for use with power amps and
other devices with high-reactance loads, since the high pulse tolerance
will keep them from tripping falsely at the instant power is applied
or on musical peaks. If a breaker should trip, it can be reset
as soon as the overload is corrected-there is no cool-down delay
time required. Temperature compensations which affect fuses and
inexpensive thermal breakers are not a concern. The breakers are
of the highest industrial grade, UL/CSA listed, precise in operation
and rugged in construction. They may be used as on-off switches
for the five circuits.
The ACD-100's design incorporates four oversized busses, allowing
wiring for 120V or 240V single phase, or 208V three phase power.
A strain relief clamp is provided that can accommodate a cable
or wire bundle up to 1.5 inches in diameter. Cable termination
is a simple process of breaking out and stripping the individual
conductors and connecting them with set screws, and then tightening
the strain relief clamp. Complete instructions accompanying the
unit guide the user through the process of selecting and terminating
the supply cable.
The ACD-100 provides basic spike and surge suppression, with metal
oxide varistors (MOV's) connected between the hot and neutral conductors
of each circuit. The MOV's respond to line-derived spikes in nanoseconds,
clamping transient voltages to safe levels of 200V peak or less.

 The ASD-120 AC Sequenced Power Distr is an extremely compact,
low cost rackmount power distribution system that is ideal for
touring PA systems, touring musical and theatrical acts, mobile
recording facilities, on-location film and video shoots, etc.-any
situation where AC power must be distributed to multiple circuits
and a hard-wired, built-in system is missing, inadequate, or
impractical. Use of a Power Distro is cost-effective, both in
terms of the convenience it offers and the elimination of bulky
and expensive parallel feeds and related connectors. The ASD-120
offers many more features as well.
The ASD-120 allows you to power up and its six circuits in a
sequenced fashion. The sequence is reversed for power down. The
delay interval is user-adjustable via an internal trimpot.
Power sequencing is needed whenever various kinds of equipment
must be powered up or down in groups, rather than all simultaneously.
In audio systems, sequenced powering is often necessary to allow
turn-on transients from low level amplifiers and processors to
settle down before any power amps are turned on, because simultaneous
powering would result in a loud, annoying, and potentially destructive "pop" reaching
the speakers. And in any large system whose components present
an inductive load to the AC line (including electric motors,
power supplies, and power amplifiers of all kinds), sequenced
powering can avoid excessive inrush currents that cause circuit
breakers to trip even though the steady-state currents are not
excessive.
The ASD-120's front panel provides a three-position switch for
each circuit that allows each circuit to be part of the power
up/down sequence, or to remain on or off apart from the sequence.
An LED that indicates when either the power-up or power-down
sequence is in progress. The sequence can be initiated with either
momentary or maintained switches, locally or remotely. A duplex
outlet is provided for each delay step. A locking switch with
a removable key is provided for maximum security.
Since the sequence control signals are also available on the
rear panel, one or more ASD-120's may be installed in remote
locations and operated via low-voltage control wiring. The sequence
control signals can also drive PowerPorts, MiniPorts, PS-PRO
and PS-8-R Power Sequencers, or any other circuits that need
to know when their particular time delay has elapsed. Using one
or more ASD-120's can provide the capability of controlling power
and power sequencing for an entire system.
The ASD-120 can handle up to 120 amps of incoming power, distributing
it to six 20 amp, 120V circuits. Each circuit has a front panel
status indicator that lights up when it is turned on, and a 20
amp duplex outlet on the rear panel.
The ASD-120's design incorporates four oversized busses, allowing
wiring for 120V or 240V single phase, or 208V three phase power.
