Introduction

Congratulations on purchasing your Samson PowerStrip, PowerBrite, or

PowerBrite Pro! This manual covers three products: the PowerStrip

PS9; the PowerBrite PB9; and the PowerBrite Pro7. All three of these

single-space rack units provide multiple outlets for reliable power

distribution with 3-point surge and peak protection, plus RF (Radio

Frequency) filtering. The three products differ in that the PowerBrite and

PowerBrite Pro also provide a front-panel 4 watt fluorescent light (tucked

away in a lockable slide-out drawer) which can be used to fully illuminate

your entire rack of gear. The PowerBrite Pro7 also provides a rear-panel

12 volt DC lamp connector and a front-panel voltmeter and ammeter.

In addition, both the PowerBrite PB9 and PowerBrite Pro7 allow you to

substitute your own custom facility logo or band name in the front panel

inlay. (See the inside back cover of this manual for more information.)

In this manual, you’ll find a more detailed description of the features of

your PowerStrip PS9, PowerBrite PB9, or PowerBrite Pro7, as well as

instructions for its use and complete specifications. You’ll also find a

warranty card enclosed—don’t forget to fill it out and mail it in! This will

enable you to receive online technical support and will allow us to send

you updated information about other Samson products in the future.

SPECIAL NOTE: Should your PowerStrip PS9, PowerBrite PB9, or

PowerBrite Pro7 ever require servicing, a Return Authorization number

(RA) is necessary. Without this number, the unit will not be accepted.

If purchased in the United States, please call Samson at (516) 364-2244

for a Return Authorization number prior to shipping the unit. If

purchased outside the U.S., contact your local Samson dealer for details.

Please retain the original packing material and, if possible, return the unit

in its original carton and packing materials.

WARNING: Though the PowerStrip PS9, PowerBrite PB9, and

PowerBrite Pro7 all provide both surge and peak protection, they

are not designed to protect against major overload situations

such as lightning strikes or connection to incorrect voltage

supplies. In the event of either occurrence, unplug all

connected equipment immediately and have your

PowerStrip PS9, PowerBrite PB9, or PowerBrite Pro7 evaluated

by Samson Technical Support or by an authorized Samson

service center before using it again.

System Features

The Samson PowerStrip PS9, PowerBrite PB9, and PowerBrite Pro7

all utilize state-of-the-art technology in power distribution and are

engineered to the finest detail. Here are some of their main features:

• Multiple switched rear-panel AC outlets (eight in the PowerStrip PS9

and PowerBrite PB9; six in the PowerBrite Pro7) that allow you to

power an entire rack’s worth of gear from one source. In addition,

an unswitched front-panel convenience outlet is provided for

temporary power needs (such as plugging in a guitar amplifier,

soldering iron, etc.).

• Rear-panel switched outlets are mounted both vertically and

horizontally to accommodate standard 3-pin plugs as well as

external transformer AC power adapters.

• 3-point surge protection, peak clamping protection and RF filtering

enables all connected equipment to operate with maximum

efficiency and minimal noise.

• Front-panel resettable 15 amp circuit breaker protects all connected

gear.

• An independent dedicated switch with status light for powering the

rear-panel switched outlets.

• In the PowerBrite PB9 and PowerBrite Pro7, a lockable slide-out

drawer contains a standard 4 watt fluorescent bulb (similar to that

used in many desktop lamps and readily available at most hardware

stores and electrical suppliers) that fully illuminates all gear

underneath with cool, clear light. In addition, there is a dedicated

switch (with status light) for turning on the bulb. The front-panel

light features a backlit customizable inlay with a Samson logo—and

our unique “Neo-Rack” service (see the back cover of this manual)

allows you to substitute your own custom facility or band logo

design.

• In the PowerBrite Pro7, a rear-panel 12-volt XLR connector (for

Littlite®-compatible lamps), and a front-panel voltmeter and

ammeter that allow you to monitor changes in the current drawn

from both switched and unswitched outlets.

• All units are designed to be mounted in the top slot of any standard

19" rack, taking only a single rack space.

• Rugged construction that makes the Samson PowerStrip PS9,

PowerBrite PB9, and PowerBrite Pro7 eminently roadworthy.

PowerStrip PS9 Front Panel

1: Outlets switch - Use this to turn the rear-panel outlets on or off.

When on, the status light inside this switch is lit red.

2: Unswitched convenience outlet - This 3-pin AC outlet is active

whenever the PS9 is plugged in, regardless of the setting of the Outlets

switch (see #1 above).

3: Circuit breaker- This circuit breaker will trip whenever the total load

on the PS9 (all rear-panel switched outlets plus the front-panel

unswitched convenience outlet) exceeds 15 amps. To reset it, unplug

one or more devices so as to reduce the load and gently press the circuit

breaker in until you hear it click.

drawer on or off. When on, the LED inside this switch lights red.

2: Outlets switch - Use this to turn the rear-panel outlets on or off.

When on, the LED inside this switch lights red.

3: Slide-out drawer - Contains the PowerBrite’s fluorescent light, clear

plastic diamond lens and back-lit inlay. Use both fingers to press gently

on the two “Push”squares on the front and the drawer will slide out

towards you. Use the Light switch (see #1 above) to turn the light on or

off. The light uses a standard 4 watt fluorescent bulb which is readily

available at most hardware stores or electrical suppliers (see page 10

in this manual for information on how to change the bulb). To lock the

drawer back into place, gently slide the drawer back in (again using both

fingers on the “Push”squares) until it clicks. See the inside back cover

of this manual for information about our “Neo-Rack”service which allows

the inlay to be replaced with a custom facility logo or name.

twist it counterclockwise a half-turn and pull it straight out. To insert a

new starter, line up its pins with the slot and twist it a half-turn in the

other direction. Be certain the replacement starter is rated at 4 watts or

greater.

5: Ammeter - This ten-stage LED meter shows the amount of current

being drawn by equipment connected to the PB Pro7. WARNING:

Severe current swings can cause damage to connected equipment.

If you see the ammeter changing drastically or rapidly, disconnect the

PB Pro7 until the source of the problem is identified and repaired.

6: Unswitched convenience outlet - This 3-pin AC outlet is active
