Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the AtlasIED AP-S15A AC Power Conditioner & Distribution Unit. The AP-S15A has been designed to meet most installation
requirements for AC power distribution and equipment power protection.
The AP-S15A features noise filtering for unwanted Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) that is commonly introduced into AC lines by nearby radio
transmitters or wireless products. EMI filters are incorporated to reduce noise from Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) from such items as electric
motors and switching power supplies. The benefit of these filters can be seen on video products or audibly by reducing static pops and external signal
interference.
The AP-S15A is unique in that the integrator can select the power cord length that is required for the installation. A removable 12' IEC power cord with
a retainer bracket is supplied with the unit. A shorter or longer cord can be purchased separately if needed.
Unstable AC Mains voltage is one of the main reasons for equipment failure. The amount of energy that can be injected into the power system can be
immense with voltages reaching 6kV or amperage peaks of 3000A. These spikes are very fast and usually only last for a very short period of time. The
AP-S15A’s circuitry is very fast and can suppress unwanted energy within a nanosecond response and sustain the suppression up to 2 milliseconds,
thus ensuring virtually trouble free protection. The front panel also features AC fault and ground status indicators providing quick, visual reassurance the
equipment is safe.
The AP-S15A offers power management control, noise filtering, and spike / surge protection, making it the most compact, effective power
management protection system on the market today.

Key Features
• 9 Total Outlets
• 7 Rear Panel Switched Outlets
• 1 Rear Panel Unswitched Outlet
• 1 Front Panel Unswitched Convenience Outlet
• RFI Noise Filtering to Reduce Radio Frequency Interference
• EMI Filtering to Reduce Electromagnetic Interference
• Circuit Breaker Protection @ 15A
• Spike Suppression up to 6000V
• AC Fault Indicator
• Ground Status Indicator
• Removable IEC Power Cord with a Retainer Bracket
Applications
The AP-S15A was designed to be flexible with features that allow it to be used in a variety of applications. The AP-S15A can be used solely for
protection against voltage surges or for AC distribution. If fuzzy video or frequent static pops occur, the AC power conditioning may eliminate or reduce
those inconveniences. The following are just a few examples of applications where the AP-S15A can be used:
• Restaurants
• Houses of Worship
• Schools
• Home Theaters
• Office Buildings
• Sports Bars

Front Panel
1. Unswitched AC Outlet
The 120VAC outlet is always live when the AP-S15A power cord is plugged into an AC mains power source. Note: The AC mains power switch does
not affect the Unswitched AC Outlet but it is protected with surge protection circuitry.
2. Power Switch & Cover
To turn the AP-S15A On or Off, press the switch to the On (up) or Off (down) position. When the Power Switch is in the On (up) position and the power
cord is plugged into 115V - 120V and voltage is present, the Blue Power LED will illuminate. When the Power Switch is in the Off (down) position the
Blue Power LED will not be illuminated. Note: The Protect and Ground LEDs will be illuminated when the Power Switch is in the Off (down) position
when operating correctly. The AP-S15A incorporates a power switch cover to prevent accidental pressing of the power switch.
3. Switched Outlets Active Indicator
This LED will illuminate Blue when the power switch is in the On position.
4. Surge Protect Indicator
The Surge Protect LED is illuminated Red under normal operating conditions showing that the surge protection circuit is functioning correctly and the
connected equipment is protected from voltage transients. Note: The Surge protection LED will be illuminated regardless of the Power Switch being
in the On or Off position. Although the clamping suppression circuit virtually assures protection from most transient voltage spikes and surges, nature
has a way of occasionally creating electrical forces that are beyond the capabilities of any device to absorb without some degree of damage. In the
rare instance that this occurs and the circuit has been damaged, the Red “Surge Protect” LED indicator will turn Off. If the Surge Protection LED in
off, all AC outlets will remain functional but the device will have no surge protection. It is recommended to stop using the unit or future damage may
occur to the devices connected to this unit. Be advised that activation of this fault condition and the associated repair is not covered under warranty.
Note: If the Surge Protect LED is not illuminated while the unit is powered on, it is important to have all equipment that was connected to that AC
Mains Line inspected for proper operation.
5. Ground Status Indicator
This LED will illuminate Green regardless of the Power Switch being in the On or Off position and when the AP-S15A has Earth ground connection
on the Earth ground pin of the AC Mains power cord. If the Ground Status LED in off, all AC outlets will remain functional but the device will have no
Earth ground. It is recommended to stop using the unit or future damage may occur to the devices connected to the unit. Note: If there is no Earth
ground connection the LED will not illuminate and the AC wall outlet must be repaired by a qualified electrician before continuing.

1. AC Mains Input
Connect the IEC 14 Gauge 12'(4m) power cord to a 15A 120VAC outlet to provide power to the AP-S15A.
2. AC Mains Input IEC Power Cord Retainer
The AP-S15A incorporates an IEC power cord retainer bracket to prevent the cord from coming loose. See IEC power cord retainer bracket installation.
3. AC Mains Power Breaker
The 15A rated breaker will open if the combined draw of all AC outlets exceeds 15A. Note: The breaker is designed to exceed its rating for a short
period of time. If the breaker is tripped, the load must first be removed from the AP-S15A before pushing to reset.
4. Unswitched AC Outlet
The 120VAC outlet is always live when the AP-S15A power cord is plugged into an AC mains power source. Note: The AC mains power switch does
not affect the Unswitched AC Outlet but it is protected with surge protection circuitry.
5. Switched AC Outlets
The seven 120VAC outlets are always live when the AP-S15A front panel power switch is in the On position.

Installation
Before installing, read the entire manual to ensure proper understanding of operation and that all features are being utilized. The AP-S15A can be
placed on a shelf or rack mounted in a standard 19" width rack. When rack mounted, placement within the rack is flexible, however the AP-S15A should
be within 6' of a dedicated 15A AC outlet. When rack mounting, use rack rail type screws of 10/32" x 1". Always make sure the 15A outlet is properly
inspected by a certified electrician prior to connecting the AP-S15A. Make sure to inspect the equipment that will be connected to the AP-S15A to
ensure it does not exceed 15A total amperage draw.
AC Power Cord Retainer System
Connect the IEC 14 Gauge 12' (4m) power cord to a 15A 120VAC outlet to provide power to the AP-S15A by aligning the pins of the cord to the pins on
the chassis and inserting the cord. Press firmly to assure a good connection.
The AP-S15A incorporates an IEC Power Cord retainer bracket to prevent the cord from coming loose. To install the IEC power cord retainer bracket,
remove the two screws from the chassis of the AP-S15A, place the retainer bracket over the cord and insert the two screws through the bracket into
the chassis as illustrated below.
