How to Install Wiremold Plug-In Outlet Center 12-Outlet Power Strip
Installing a Plug-In Outlet Center is straightforward and designed to minimize disruption to your workflow. Follow these general steps to ensure a safe, efficient setup:
1) Plan placement: Identify a suitable location near a dedicated wall outlet or feed and consider proximity to the devices you will power. Ensure the surface or rack area is clean, dry, and free from heat sources or obstructions that could impede airflow or access to outlets.
2) Inspect the unit: Before installation, inspect the Plug-In Outlet Center for any transport damage or loose components. If you notice anything unusual, do not use the unit until it has been checked or replaced.
3) Prepare the space: If mounting in a relay rack, cabinet, or other enclosure, confirm there is adequate clearance behind and around the unit for cords and ventilation. Route cords neatly to prevent tangling and tripping hazards.
4) Connect power: Plug the outlet center into a suitable wall outlet or dedicated power source. Ensure the outlet is compatible with the unit’s voltage (typically 120V AC in common markets) and that the connection is secure.
5) Arrange devices: Begin plugging devices into the 12 outlets, distributing loads evenly. Avoid daisy-chaining or overstressing a single outlet branch, and respect the overall power capacity of the installation.
6) Manage cables: Use cable management accessories or the mounting system within your setup to keep cords organized and protected. A tidy installation improves safety and accessibility.
7) Test and label: After powering on, test each outlet to confirm proper operation. If you’re deploying multiple centers, label outlets and zones to simplify future maintenance and troubleshooting.
8) Safety and maintenance: Periodically inspect the unit for wear, secure connections, and any signs of overheating. Replace or service the unit if you notice damage, frayed cords, or degraded performance. Always follow local electrical codes and safety guidelines when expanding or reconfiguring power layouts.
