1. Please read and observe all safety and
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

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.
