Introduction
The ACE-615 is a very carefully engineered product designed to protect
your audio, video, and computer systems while providing them with clean
AC power. The surge protection is a nonsacrificial patented technology
(U.S. patents 4,870,534 and 4,870,528) that conforms to the strictest
Federal Guidelines for surge protection.

Operation
Front Panel Control
indicating it is waiting for an external 12v trigger to power
on. Turn on the component supplying the 12v trigger. The
ACE-615 power button LED b and switched LED c and
amplifiers LED d will glow red indicating AC power is
being supplied to all connected components. Turn off
the 12v trigger supply to return the ACE-615 to
standby mode.
Press the ACE-615 power button b to activate the unit.
The power LED b, accessories LED c, and amplifiers
LED d will glow red. AC power is being supplied to all
connected components.
The unswitched front panel LED e indicates that AC
current is passing through the ACE-615 and into the
components connected to the unswitched AC rear
panel outlets 1). The unswitched LED e is always on
provided the unit is plugged into an active AC source.
To prevent turn-on thump, the jacks for the accessories
and amplifiers have seperate relays. When the ACE-615 is
turned on, the accessories power up before the amplifiers.
When powering down, the relay works in reverse. These
delays are in effect both with the 12V trigger source, and
without, and the duration may be adjusted by your autho-
rized ADCOM dealer.
Remote 12v Trigger Control
* Note: This section only applies when an external trigger is
connected to the 12v trigger in jack 1@.
* Note: The unit only responds to an external trigger when the
power button b is pressed in. The power button b can
be used to override the 12v trigger input and turn the
ACE-615 off.
Press the ACE-615 power button b to put the unit
into standby mode. The power LED b will glow amber
