    Another factor would be from voltage drops in AC lines due to long transmissions. The ECS-3 will not only inform you if one of these conditions occurs, but under extreme variances in the AC Mains, it will shut the power to the equipment off.
  • Page 8: Applications

    ECS-3 Applications The ECS-3 was designed to be flexible with features that allow it to be used in a variety of applications. The sequenced outputs allow the turning of equipment on and off in a particular order, to eliminate an in rush of current and audible pops that often occur with non-sequenced power strips.
  • Page 9 OWNER’S MANUAL ECS-3 5. Pull Out Light Dimmer Switch – The Pull Out Light can be turned “On” or “Off” by this switch. There are also two brightness settings. 6.

  • Page 10 Red “AC Fault” LED indicator will illuminate and an internal buzzer will sound. The ECS-3 will also shut off permanently until the unit is repaired. NOTE: If the AC Fault LED is illuminating it is important to have all equipment that was connected to that AC Mains Line be inspected for proper operation.
  • Page 11 The total maximum draw for this sequential section is 10A and the total current draw for the ECS-3 is 15A. Note: It does not harm high current audio components to be connected to the Sequential Section 1 digital filter outlets.
  • Page 12 6. Light Socket Power Switch – This switch turns the XLR light socket ON / OFF. 7. Unswitched AC Outlet – This 120VAC outlet is always live when the ECS-3 power cord is plugged into an AC mains power source and voltage is present. If voltage is present at the outlets it will be displayed on the AC Mains Meter.
  • Page 13 Before installing we strongly suggest you read the entire manual to ensure you benefit from all the features of the ECS-3. The ECS-3 can be placed on a shelf or rack mounted in a standard 19" width rack. Placement within a rack is not critical but the rack should be within 6' of dedicated 15A AC outlet.
  • Page 14 DCS circuit has been damaged during the suppression. Action Needed: If this happens, the ECS-3 will shut off and the unit will need to be repaired or replaced. It is important to have all equipment that was connected to that AC Mains Line inspected for proper operation.
