carefully before using.

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not expose
this equipment to rain or moisture. Dangerous high
voltages are present inside the enclosure. Do not
remove the covers. Other than the light bulbs, there
are no user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to
qualified personnel only.

The lightning flash with an arrowhead symbol, (within
an equilateral triangle) is intended to alert the user to
the presence of un-insulated dangerous voltage within
the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient
magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock.

(Please read prior to installation)

1.

Please read and observe all safety and operating
instructions before installing your Metered Six unit.
Retain these instructions for future reference.

2.

Your Metered Six unit should not be used near
water – for example, near a bathtub, washbowl,
kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, near
a swimming pool, etc.

3.

Do not place your Metered Six unit near heat
sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves,
or other appliances that produce heat.

4.

The PL-PROD, PL-PRODM, and PM-PRO should
only be connected to a 120 VAC, 60Hz, 20 amp
grounded electrical outlet. Outlets wired for 20
amps, may be identified by the T-shaped socket
opening that accept the perpendicular blades of
the PRO unit’s power plug. If you don’t have a 20-
amp outlet, have one installed by a qualified
electrician. Do not defeat the ground or change
polarization of the power plug.

5.

Route the power cord and other cables so that
they are not likely to be walked on, tripped over, or
stressed. Pay particular attention to the condition
of the cords and cables at the plugs, and the point
where they exit your Metered Six unit. To prevent
risk of fire or injury, damaged cords and cables
should be replaced immediately.

6.

Clean your Metered Six unit with a damp cloth
only. Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners.
Never pour liquid on or into the unit.

7.

Your Metered Six unit should be serviced by
qualified service personnel when:

• The power supply cord or the plug has been frayed,

kinked, or cut.

• Objects have fallen or liquid has spilled into the unit.

• The unit has been exposed to rain or other moisture.

• The unit does not appear to operate normally or

exhibits a marked change in performance.

• The unit has been dropped, or the enclosure

damaged.

8.

Your Metered Six unit requires that a safety ground
be present for proper operation. Any attempt to
operate the unit without a safety ground is
considered improper operation and could
invalidate the warranty.

9.

Light bulbs are the only user-serviceable parts in
the PL-PLUSD, PL-PLUSDM, PL-PROD, and PL-
PRODM. Instructions for replacing them are on
page/s 4, 5, 6, and 7. The light tubes and end caps
become quite warm to the touch in normal
operation. To avoid burning your fingers, allow the
cap to cool completely before unscrewing it. If you
find that the heat from the tubes is excessive,
reduce the dimmer knob setting.

10. Do not attempt to service your Metered Six unit beyond

what is described in this manual. All other servicing
should be referred to qualified service personnel.
