FEATURES SUMMARY
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The RP100 (“RACKPOWER”) series are designed to operate with
120VAC, 60 Hz. Operation with 220 or 240 volts will cause damage and
possibly personal injury.
CAUTIONS
1. The RACKPOWER must be grounded to operate. It will not
pass power without a connection to ground.
2. There are no user serviceable parts inside the RACK
POWER. Do not attempt service yourself. Contact Juice Goose
as directed in this manual if service is required.
3. Do not expose the RACKPOWER to moisture. Avoid severe
physical impacts to the unit.
DISCLAIMER
Juice Goose shall under no circumstances be held responsible for any
loss, damage or injury resulting from the use of the RACKPOWER in a
manner inconsistent with any of the procedures outlined in this docu-
ment. The user is responsible for determining whether this product is
appropriate for the intended application.
Juice Goose is not responsible for any indirect, secondary or ancillary
loss or damage, including personal injury, loss of or damage to prop-
erty or loss of income resulting from the operation or failure of this unit.

SPECIFICATIONS

FRONT PANEL
Combination On/Off Switch and Circuit Breaker – The rocker switch
located on the right side of the chassis is a dual function component. It
is normally used to manually turn the RACKPOWER on and off. In the
event of a prolonged current overload the circuit breaker will trip to shut
off power. (See the Troubleshooting section of this manual.)
.
AC Power Meter - The dual function, digital meter uses red LEDs to
report power line voltage and the current load being drawn from the
RACKPOWER. A push button to the left of the meter toggles the meter
display between voltage and amperage. Voltage metering is displayed
to the nearest one tenth volt. Amperage is displayed to the nearest one
tenth amp through a range from 0.4 amps to 25.0 amps. The display
will flash as a warning when voltage is greater than 139VAC or amper-
age is greater than 13.9A (18.9A for the 20A model) are reached.
USB Power Port - The USB connector on the front of the chassis pro-
vides 5 volts of DC current for use powering a plug-in LED light or for
charging various electronic devices. This port is specially designed to
charge iPhones and most other smart phone models. (A USB Power
Port is also located on the back of the chassis.)
AC Receptacle - The AC receptacle on the left of the chassis is pow-
ered whenever the RACKPOWER is plugged into a live AC power
source. It is rated at 15 amps or 20 amps and provides all the AC power
protection of the RACKPOWER.
Surge Protection OK - The RACKPOWER 100-RX features Juice
Goose proprietary RX Series surge protection and EMI / RFI filtration.
(See the “Specifications” section of this Manual or the RP100-RX Data
Sheet.) The white LED on the front panel is connected to the RX Series
power protection circuitry and indicates RP 100-RX power output is pro-
tected from power line surges and high frequency interference.
This LED not being lit is an indication of a potential fault with the RX
Series circuitry. (See the Trouble Shooting section of this manual.)

REAR PANEL
AC Outlets – The nine outlets (NEMA 5-15R) on the 15A model are
rated for current loads up to 15 amps at 120 volts. The 20A model has
8 NEMA 5-15R and 1 NEMA 5-20R which is rated for a current load of
20A at 120volts. The outlets are rotated and spaced to accommodate
plugging in AC power adapters (a.k.a. “wall warts”).
USB Power Port - The USB connector on the back of the chassis pro-
vides 5 volts of DC current for use powering a plug-in LED light or for
charging various electronic devices. This port is specially designed to
charge iPhones and most other smart phone models. (A USB Power
Port is also located on the front of the chassis.)
TROUBLESHOOTING
The RACKPOWER is ruggedly designed and constructed from high
quality components to give years of dependable power for your equip-
ment. It requires neither maintenance nor adjustment. The following
guidelines are provided for the unlikely event of a malfunction.
The RACKPOWER will not come on or turns itself off.
a. Check the status of the power supplied to the unit. Be sure
AC utility power is available at the location where the unit is plugged in.
b. Check that the circuit breaker is not tripped. If it is, remove
sufficient current load to reduce the total to no more than 15 amps (or
20 amps on the 20A model), wait approximately 30 seconds after the
tripping and place the switch in the up, “on” position.
c. RX Series protection will not pass power if there is no ground
connection, if there line and neutral conductors are not properly wired
or if power line voltage is in excess of approximately 139 VAC. Use a
circuit tester and voltage meter or other means to check for wiring or
power line faults.
The Surge Protection OK LED is not lit.
(See the “Front Panel” section of this manual.) This could indicate a
fault with the RX Series power protection circuitry. Contact Juice Goose
( [email protected] or 713-772-1404) for more information.
