RLC-1080 

Power Conditioner

Installation

Placement

Caution:

 The RLC-1080 weighs approxi-

mately 60 pounds. Two-people should work 
together when the unit is being moved. Lift the 
RLC-1080 carefully by firmly grasping both 
sides of unit in the middle. 

Failure to use 

caution and proper procedures when 

lifting or moving the unit may result 

in personal injury and/or equipment 

damage.

Place unit on a solid, flat surface that is capable 
of supporting at least 60 lbs. 

Note:

 Avoid placing other components directly 

on top of or behind the unit. Leave at least one 
inch of space on all sides to allow for proper 
air ventilation. Do not block the fan.

Rack Mounting

The RLC-1080 can be mounted in a standard 19” 
rack. Rack-mounting hardware is provided. 

1.  Install the rack-mount rails. (See the installa-

tion sheet located in the box containing the 
rack-mount rails.)

2.  Install the rail cleats. (See the installation sheet 

located with the cleats in the box marked 
“Accessories.”)

3.  Install rack-mount ears. (OPTIONAL — See 

the installation sheet located with the cleats 
in the box marked “Accessories.”) 

Note:

 

Rack-mount ears are not required. Their only 
function is to fasten the unit to the front of the 
rack and prevent front-to-rear movement.

Caution:

 Rack-mount ears should 

NEVER

 

be used alone to support the unit. Rack-mount 
rails must always be used to support the unit’s 
weight when rack-mounting.

4.  Slide the unit into the rack so that the cleats 

mounted on the side of the unit fit within 
the track of the rack-mount rails. If the ears 
were mounted, screw the mounted ears into 
the rack to lock unit into position. (See the 
installation sheet located in the box marked, 
“Accessories.”)

Note:

 Avoid placing other components directly 

on top of or behind the unit. Leave at least one 
inch of space on all sides to allow for proper 
air ventilation. Do not block the fan.

Connecting the Battery

The RLC-1080 is shipped with front bezel of the 
unit unattached and with the internal battery 
pack disconnected. 

Connect the internal battery pack and attach 
the front bezel as follows:

1.  Remove the battery retaining bar.

2.  Push the Battery Wire Connector into the 

hole located at the left of the Battery Pack. 
Check to be sure that the connector is securely 
connected by gently pulling on the wire to 
see if it is attached to the connector.

3.  Install the battery retaining bar.

4.  Install the front Bezel by aligning the four pins 

located on the back-side of the Bezel to the 
holes at the left and right sides of the unit. 
Gently push the front Bezel onto the unit.

System Test

Before connecting equipment to the RLC-1080 
perform a System Test to be sure that the unit is 
functioning properly. Connect the AC Power Cord 
to the rear panel. Press the front panel power 
switch. Once power is applied to the unit, the 
display shows the following screen.

This screen is displayed for a short period of time. 
It is followed by other screens that show model 
information, outlet delay operation, battery self-
test with results and external battery presence. 
Finally, the preceding screen is displayed.

Firmware Version screen

 shows the version 

of the firmware that is installed in the unit. (

the firmware version.)

It also shows that power is not yet available to 
the devices that are connected to rear-panel 
outlets marked

seconds) has elapsed. See the 

Setting Up the 

RLC-1080

 section of this manual to change 

the delay period. Once power is available for 

Delayed 2

 devices, the screen will change to
