Refer all servicing to ETA Systems. • Should any of the following irregularities occur during use, immediately switch off the power, disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet and contact ETA Systems. Do not to attempt to continue operation with the product as this may cause fire or electric shock: • Smoke or strange smell coming from the unit. •...
Another factor would be from voltage drops in AC lines due to long transmissions. The ETA-ECS3 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.
APPLICATIONS The ETA-ECS3 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.
FRONT PANEL FEATURES Unswitched AC Outlet – The two 120VAC outlets are always live when the ETA-ECS3 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. Note: The AC mains power switch or sequencer section does not affect the Unswitched AC Outlets.

ETA-ECS3. High AC Line Mains – T he Abnormal Voltage LED will flash between 128VAC – 1 32VAC indicating possible damage may occur to equipment due to high AC Mains voltage. The ETA-ECS3 outlets will remain active but the LED will stay flashing even if the voltage returns to a normal operating range. To stop the LED from flashing the system activation switch must be cycled “Off”.
Digital and Analog components. The total maximum continuous draw for this sequential section is 10A and the total current draw for the ETA-ECS3 is 15A. Note: It does not harm high current audio components to be connected to the Sequential Section 1 digital filter outlets.
ETA-ECS3 Power Sequencer & Conditioner INSTALLATION Before installing we strongly suggest you read the entire manual to ensure you benefit from all the features of the ETA-ECS3. The ETA-ECS3 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. Always make sure the 15A outlet is properly inspected by a certified electrician prior to connecting the ETA-ECS3. Below are a few installation tips. • After plugging the ETA-ECS3 into a 15A AC Mains outlet inspect the Wiring Fault LED for illumination. The LED should not be on. • Inspect the equipment that is to be plugged into the ETA-ECS3 to ensure it does not exceed 15A total amperage draw. • Divide the equipment into three categories. Pick the outlets that match the outlets equipment use.
