INTRODUCTION

Thank you for your purchase of an FSR

SEQUENCING POWER CONDITIONER

(SPC-20) and congratulations on your choice.

This equipment, not only sequences the

power turn on, it also provides maximum

protection form the types of hazards faced by

delicate analog and digital pro audio and video

equipment.

Your SPC-20 provides the most complete and

comprehensive protection form power line-

related transient voltages, noise and wiring

faults available. It combines a high voltage

surge and transient suppressor with an RFI/EMI

interference ﬁlter. The fast-acting suppression

circuit responds in less than a nanosecond,

clamping transient voltages to safe levels, the

ﬁlter works to prevent noise from ﬂuorescent

lights, certain dimmers, radio transmitters, and

similar sources of “electronic pollution” from

contaminating the AC line and from there,

leaking into sensitive audio, video, or computer

circuits.

What sets the FSR SPC Series apart from

other sequencers and conditioners is the

use of TRIACS as the switching element

instead of relays, which are prone to failure.

Also another distinguishing feature is the

quantity, quality, and conﬁguration of its

suppression devices. These include MOV’s,

gas discharge tubes, fast-blow fuses, and high

voltage inductors and capacitors. This unique

combination can safely absorb and dissipate

large spikes from nearby lightning strikes and

other sources as well as highly attenuate audible

high frequency noise.

NOTE: SPC-20 requires that a safety ground

be present for proper operation. Any attempt

to operate the SPC-20 without a safety ground

is considered improper operation and could

invalidate the warranty.

Effects of Lightning

Lightning is a natural phenomenon of

overwhelming force that represents the most

difﬁcult circumstance faced by a power

protection product. The degree of protection a

SPC-20 can offer depends on the intensity of

the strike. If lightning strikes a distant power

line and causes a relatively small disturbance to

reach your location, the spike suppressors in the

SPC-20 will absorb the excess voltage invisibly

and harmlessly. However, if lightning strikes the

actual building where the SPC-20 is installed

(or somewhere very nearby) some damage

may be unavoidable due to the extremely

high voltage and current present. If this does

occur, most likely damage will be limited to

the SPC-20 itself and will affect only certain

spike suppression components (called varistors

or MOV’s.) In this “suicide” mode, the SPC-

20 may sustain minor damage but generally

will protect all equipment plugged into it from

much more serious and costly damage as long

as the equipment is properly grounded. Proper

grounding requires the use of three-prong AC

cords, and that the building’s outlets are actually

grounded to earth as speciﬁed by local building

codes.

Any SPC-20 known to have taken a direct

lightning hit should be checked by a qualiﬁed

technician or the FSR factory to determine

whether the MOV’s need replacement. If

the surge circuits indicator is not lit, there

is deﬁnitely some damage. Some spike

suppression capability may still be available,

but there is no guarantee of this.

For optimum protection, you should not rely

exclusively on the SPC-20 to protect against

a direct lightning hit. The ﬁrst line of defense

against lightning should be a lightning arrestor

installed on your building’s electrical service

entrance. If your building does not have

one, contact your local power company or a

contractor to have one installed.

SPC-20 FRONT PANEL

SYSTEM POWER SWITCH AND LED: when the system LED is off, pressing the system switch will start the turn-on procedure, and the LED

will illuminate. When the system LED is on, pressing the system switch will start the turn-off procedure, and the LED will turn off. This LED blinks

on power up and power down until the cycle is complete.

UNSWITCHED OUTLET: this outlet is active at all times the equipment is plugged in.

TRIP LAMP: a ground closure on the remote trip input (rear panel remote control strip) will sequence the system down and latch on the trip lamp.

After the remote trip input is cleared, the trip lamp can be reset by pressing the momentary system power switch.

SYSTEM FAULT LAMP: this supervisory indicator will illuminate to indicate that an enabled AC circuit is not receiving AC power (faulty output

circuit), or that a disabled AC circuit continues to receive power (incorrect system wiring, shorted output circuit, etc.). A system fault indication will

be provided when a fault indication is detected in the SPC-20 or any expansion stages.

LOCAL FAULT LAMP: this supervisory indicator will illuminate to indicate that a fault has occurred at this local unit. A local fault on any unit in

the system will also activate the system fault lamp.

NOTE: System and Local Fault lamps can be illuminated if any of the three switched rearAC outlets are unloaded. All outlets should be

connected to a load for proper lamp indication.

SURGE CIRCUITS OPERATIONAL: provides supervisory indication that the surge suppression cicuitry is fully functional.

SPC-20 REAR PANEL

Rear Panel Control Functions:

NOTE: All remote control and expansion port connections are short circuit

and overload protected.

REMOTE CONTROL PORT: This pluggable screw terminal provides

for remote operation of the SPC-20 as follows:

SURGE FAULT LAMP: Provides 12 volts at 100 ma when the surge circuits are

worn out. It is in a high impedance state when off.

POWER LAMP: Provides 12 volts at 100 ma when the system is on. High impedance

when the system is off.

SYSTEM FAULT OUTPUT: This output goes high (+12V) when there is a fault on

the local or expansion units.Output rated at 100 ma.

NOTE: While each lamp output is rated at 100 ma total current draw

from all three together should not exceed 150 ma.

SYSTEM MOMENTARY SWITCH: This input may be used to remotely control

power-up/down of the system from momentary contact switch. Multiple control loca-

tions may be used by connecting switches in parallel.

SYSTEM MAINTAINED SWITCHED: This input may be used to remotely control

power-up/down of the system from a security key switch or other maintained closure

source. Only one control location may be used with a maintained switch input.

ALARM TRIP SWITCH: A closure on the remote trip input from the ﬁre alarm or

other emergency shutdown system will latch the trip lamp and initiate a power-down

sequence. This input will override all local and remote inputs for the duration of the

closure. To clear the trip if a momentary switch is used to power up the system, just

press the system on/off switch off and then on. A system using a maintained switch

will automatically power up once the trip input is cleared.

AUXILIARY: This output provides a ground closure when the rack circuit is enabled.

Output rated at 100 ma.

GROUND (GND): All switch inputs and lamp outputs are referenced to ground.

EXPANSION PORT: Control for expansion units. It requires a standard

6 conductor telephone type (RJ) cable wired straight

through (pin 1 to pin 1 etc.). DO NOT PLUG IN A TELEPHONE.

DELAY ADJUST: Trim control enables the user to set the initial delay

(going from circuit 1 to circuit 2 over a range of 1 to 50 seconds. All subsequent delays

will be one to three seconds, dependent on the adjustment.

NOTE: See speciﬁcations section for details about the timing sequence.

CIRCUIT 1 OUTLET: This half of the duplex outlet will provide 120

VAC upon activation of the system on switch.

CIRCUIT 2 OUTLET: This half of the duplex outlet will provide 120

VAC after the initial delay time.

CIRCUIT 3 OUTLET: This half of the duplex outlet will provide 120

VAC after the faster delay.

UNSWITCHED: This half of the duplex outlet is powered all the time

the unit is plugged in. Both this outlet and the one on the front have surge protection as

well as line ﬁltering.

20 AMP LINE CORD: must be plugged into a true 20 amp outlet.

NOTE: THE TOTAL CURRENT, FROM ALL RECEPTACLES, THAT MAY

BE DRAWN FROM THIS UNIT IS 16 AMPS (UL REQUIREMENT).
