operating instructions before installing your  
Series II unit. retain these instructions for  
future reference.  
8. Your Pro Series II unit requires that a safety  
ground be present for proper operation. Any  
attempt to operate the unit without a safety  
ground is considered improper operation and  
could invalidate the warranty.  
2. The unit should not be used near water – for  
example, near a bathtub, washbowl,  
kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement,  
near a swimming pool, etc.  
9. Do not attempt to service your Pro Series II  
unit beyond what is described in this manual.  
All other servicing should be referred to  
qualified service personnel.  
3. Do not place your unit near heat sources  
such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or  
other appliances that produce heat.  
ADDITIoNAL F EATU r E S  
4. The units should only be connected to a  
120 VAC, 60Hz, 20 amp grounded electrical  
outlet. Do not defeat the ground or change  
polarization of the power plug.  
PL-8 Pro Series II  
The PL-8 Pro II features LED rack lights  
which produce virtually no heat and provide  
an extremely long life span. A dimmer control  
for the rack lights allows the user to adjust the  
level of illumination or simply switch the lights  
off. A rear mounted BNC jack accepts any  
standard (12VAC 0.5 amp) gooseneck lamp for  
rear rack illumination.  
5. route the power cord and other cables so  
that they are not likely to be walked on, tripped  
over, or stressed. Pay particular attention to  
the condition of the cords and cables at the  
plugs, and the point where they exit your Pro  
Series II unit. To prevent risk of fire or injury,  
damaged cords and cables should be replaced  
immediately.
