| A Merit "M" Series Power
Conditioner is the perfect low-cost AC power solution for any
rack mount system. The M-10 is designed for applications where
lights are not required. M-Series conditioners protect your
delicate electronic equipment by combining high voltage varistor
(MOV) surge and transient suppressors. The fast-acting supression
circuit quickly responds to clamp transient voltages to safe
levels. An RFI/EMI interference filter works to prevent noise
from fluorescent lights, certain dimmers, radio transmitters, and
similar sources of "electronic pollution" from
contaminating the AC line and from there, leaking into sensitive
audio, video, or computer circuits. The M-10 is a power
distributor only and has no conditioning functions. However its
sturdy, rack-mount design and 10 available outlets provide a
convenient way to power a rack of equipment up to a 15 amp
load.
Circuit Breaker
For safety, a circuit breaker is
provided on the rear panel. If
the total load on the Power Conditioner (combining all
outlets)exceeds the 15A (or 1800 watt) limit, the
circuit breaker will trip. If this happens,it may be easily reset
by pushing in the button. There is no need to replace
fuses.
Lamps
For convenience in traveling, the
lamps (if present) may be pushed in, safely out of the way. When
the rack is again ready to use, they pull out easily (up to 2.75
inches, or 7cm) and may be rotated and aimed to provide optimum
illumination for your equipment. They come supplied with 5 watt
night-light bulbs. Cooler-running 4 watt bulbs or even colored
Christmas tree bulbs may be substituted if desired. Replacements
are readily available at most hardware stores or almost anywhere
household light bulbs are sold, and can be ordered from Furman.
Bulbs are easily replaced without removing the unit from the rack
by unscrewing the cap on the end of each light tube.
Switches
All models have a convenient master
switch for the rear outlets which glows when the power is on. In
models with lighting, there is a separate "Rack
Lights" switch for the lamps, plus a dimmer control knob
which increases the lamps brightness.
