CONTROL ELEMENTS
Front-side control elements
Use the POWER switch to power up the PO ERLIGHT PL2000. The PO ER
switch should always be in its Off position whenever you connect the unit
to the mains.
+Merely pressing the POWER switch does not disconnect the unit
fully from the mains. To fully disconnect the unit from the mains,
unplug the power cord from the power outlet. During the installation,
make sure that oth the power cord and the power outlet function
properly. When not using the unit for prolonged periods of time,
please unplug the units power cord from the power outlet.
+Please make sure that the unit is grounded at all times. For your
own protection, you should never tamper with the grounding of the
ca le or the unit itself. The unit must e connected to the mains
with an intact ground wire at all times.
The LIGHT switch activates the rack lighting. The light can also be turned on
independent of the PO ER switch.
The rack light can be rotated and can be individually adjusted to best suit your
lighting needs.
Control elements in the back
There are 8 mains connectors in the back of the PL2000 for providing power
to additional equipment in your rack. The total power load of the equipment
connected to the PL2000 may not exceed 8 A.

The mains connection is made with a standard IEC receptacle. A matching
power cord is included.
Your rack lights fuse holder is located here. Blown fuses should only be
replaced with fuses of the same type and rating.
This is your PL2000s automatic circuit breaker. If the total load of the equipment
you have connected to the PL2000 exceeds 8 A, the circuit breaker engages
and completely turns the PL2000 off. If this happens, remove one or more of
the units you have connected in order to lower the overall load below 8 A.
After approx. 2 minutes the automatic circuit breaker is reset and your PL2000
can be turned on again. If the circuit breaker engages again, disconnect
additional equipment.
Important information on the top side
Important information about the polarity of the connectors and the maximum
allowed load is located on the top side of your PO ERLIGHT PL2000.

INSTALLATION IN A RACK
The PL2000 requires one height unit (1 HE) for installation in a 19-inch rack.

for connecting cables.
Be sure that there is enough air space around the unit for cooling and, to avoid
overheating, please do not place the EUROPO ER on top of power amplifiers or
