Circuit Breaker
In the case of power overload, the circuit breaker automatically trips. Determine the cause of the tripped circuit breaker, correct
the problem, and reset the circuit breaker by depressing the circuit breaker button. This button is located on the back panel of the
PCR8 unit, and on the front panels of the PCS12 and PCS20 units. Power to the unit (electronics, EIA-232 port, etc.) does not go
through the circuit breaker. This circuit is protected by a ¼ amp hardwired fuse. If an overload condition occurs, the Remote
Power Control unit status menu is still accessible.
Circuit Breaker status is reflected on the Status menu. If the breaker is operating properly, the Outlet Circuit Breaker: status
will read “Good.” When there is a problem with the circuit breaker, or if it is tripped, its status will read “Fault.”

host terminal’s serial communications parameters to match the Remote Power Control unit:
• 9600 bps
• 8 data bits
• 1 stop bit
