Features
• Pure Sine Wave Battery Backup - The
RLC-1080 provides battery backup power to
maintain pure, uninterrupted power for your
home theater and automation systems in the
event of a power blackout. Battery backup
power not only prevents interruptions in your
entertainment, it also prevents lost pre-sets,
lost multi-media server data, damaged hard
drives, and premature projector bulb wear
and tear.
• Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR)
- The RLC-1080 is unique in that it provides
automatic voltage regulation, which is
engaged to correct low and high voltage
conditions. All equipment connected to the
RLC-1080 is protected against these undesired
voltage fluctuations, thus prolonging the life
of the equipment. Low voltage conditions
can also negatively impact video quality.
Consequently this feature may help improve
picture quality if power line voltage is low.
• Surge Protection - The RLC-1080 provides
guaranteed protection against damaging
surges, spikes and even lightning. It not only
provides protection from surges from AC
power lines, it also protects against surges
from system data lines including COAX,
telephone and Ethernet lines. With the RLC-
1080 all your equipment is protected.
• Isolated Noise Filter Banks - The
RLC-1080 eliminates electromagnetic and
radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI) that,
when severe enough, can negatively impact
sound and video quality. Each filter bank
is electrically isolated from each other to
prevent noise generated by one component
from polluting other connected components.
This noise filtering lets your system perform
to its maximum capabilities.
• DC Trigger - When connected to a com-
ponent that provides a DC trigger, that
component controls the turning on and off,
as well as sequencing of the ‘delayed’ outlet
banks. The RLC-1080 also allows that DC
signal to pass through to another connected
component.
• Rack-mountable - Rack-mount hardware
is included to mount the unit into any 4-post,
19” rack.
• Sequenced Turn ON/OFF - This feature
ensures that connected equipment is powered-
up/down in the proper order and with the
right amount of delay between the stages.
It allows the user to program a delay into
the sequence of from 0 to 10 seconds. This
delay eliminates transients that can affect
connected components or cause the building
circuit breaker to trip.

A Few Precautions
Please read this manual carefully. In addition
to installation and operating instructions, it also
provides important safety information. It is very
important that you have read and understand all
of the safety information located at the front of
this manual. If you have any questions about the
safety information, or are concerned that your
home may not be properly wired for this equip-
ment, please contact a qualified and licensed
electrician.Please contact your authorized Rotel
dealer for answers to any questions you might
have. In addition, all of us at Rotel welcome your
questions and comments.
Save the RLC-1080 shipping carton and pack-
ing material for future use. Shipping or mov-
ing the RLC-1080 in anything other than the
original packing material may result in severe
damage.
Be sure to keep the original sales receipt. It is
your best record of the date of purchase, which
you will need in the event warranty service is
ever required.
Power Capacity
The RLC-1080 Power Conditioner is rated for
900 watts (continuous). It has been designed,
however, to support current surges that are much
higher than its continuous power rating. The
RLC-1080 is capable of supplying the dynamic
peak current draws required by any component
designed to work on a 15 amp circuit. Despite
their nameplate power ratings, high performance
A/V equipment draw much less than their listed
power ratings. The RLC-1080 can inform the user
how much of the power capacity is available as
equipment is connected to the unit.
Placement
The RLC-1080 is quite heavy. Keep this in mind
when selecting an installation location. Make
sure that the shelf or cabinet can support its
weight.
Proper installation of your new Power Conditioner
is important. If the unit is being mounted in a
standard 19” rack, refer to the instruction sheet
provided in the box containing the slide rails.
