SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Read these instructions.
2. Keep these instructions.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow all instructions.
5. Do not use this device near water.
6. Clean only with dry cloth.
7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other device (including amplifiers) that produce
heat.
9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the
other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your
safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they
exit from the device.
11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the device. When a
cart is used use caution when moving the cart/device combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
13. This product is equipped with a three-wire grounding-type plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin. This plug will only
fit into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, con-
tact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.
14. Unplug this device during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
15. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the device has been damaged in any way, such as
power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled, objects have fallen into the device, the device has been exposed to
rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
16. To prevent fire or shock hazard. Do not expose this appliance to rain or moisture.
This appliance shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing water and that no object filled with liquids such as vases shall be
placed on apparatus.
17. To completely disconnect this equipment from the mains, disconnect the power supply cord plug from the receptacle.
18. The mains plug of the power supply cord shall remain readily operable.

product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude
to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert the user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the product.

INTRODUCTION
ThankyouforpurchasingtheETASystemsETA-S15ACPowerConditioner&DistributionUnit.TheETA-S15hasbeendesignedto
meet most installation requirements for AC power distribution and equipment power protection.
TheETA-S15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.
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ETA-S15’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ETA-S15offerspowermanagementcontrol,noisefiltering,andspike/surgeprotection,makingitthemostcompact,effective
power management protection system on the market today.
