Page 2: Important Precautions
Specification Congratulations on your purchase of a AR3600I AC Line Voltage Regulator. The AR3600I is the perfect accessory to any audio, video, or computer rack-mount system requiring clean, filtered, and regulated AC power for optimum operation. It is the ultimate high current regulating product for audio, video, computer, and broadcast professionals. - Page 3 170 to 264V (high range) and converts them to the North American standard 120 volts. The AR3600I will detect the different of the input voltage and automatically switch over to the appropriate operating voltage range.Voltages outside the ranges may be converted to usable levels, depending on how far out of range they are and what is considered usable.
- Page 4 AC power also varies from country to country in terms of voltage and frequency. The AR3600I is intended to reduce to the greatest extent possible, the impact of these irregularities. However, you should be aware that there are certain things it cannot do.

EFFECTS OF CABLE LENGTH When dealing with high currents such as those handled by the AR3600I, the supply cable itself must be considered part of the load. As such, the length, gauge, and temperature rating of the insulation must be taken into account. The minimum wire gauges we suggest may not be large enough when the cable run is longer than about 20 feet (7 meters). -

However, that doesn’t necessarily mean your equipment won’t work (even 10% below 120V is 108V, which is still adequate for most 120V equipment.) INPUT VOLTAGE RANGE SELECTION: The AR3600I will detect the different of the input voltage and automatically switch over to the appropriate operating voltage... - Page 7 120 VAC. The current at the input (where the circuit breakers are located) will be the same as the output only if the input voltage is also 120V (low range). If the AR3600I is powered from a 220/240 volt source (high range), the input current will be approximately half, or 15 amps, to produce the rated 120V, 30A at the output.
- Page 8 Specification TERMINAL STRIP FOR REMOTE OPERATION: Connection to this screw-terminal strip allows for a single AR3600I to be turned on remotely, or for multiple AR-3600Is to be turned on remotely, either simultaneously or in a delayed sequence. A built-in delay of approximately half a second is available to stagger the potentially large inrush currents that occur when certain types of equipment are powered up simultaneously.
- Page 9 ON position. All Ground terminals must be connected together. The Delay Out of the first AR3600I (the one that will turn on first) is connected to the Remote Out of the second unit. The Delay Out of the second AR3600I is connected to the Remote Out of the third unit, and so forth for additional units.
- Page 10 (on the premises or outside), utility company maintenance operations, lightning strikes, and other factors. Spikes (also called surges or transients) are absorbed by special components in the AR3600I to provide safe voltage levels to protect your equipment.
