FURMAN MP-15 MINIPORT Power Relay Accessory
The MINIPORT-15 Power Relay is a NRTL-C TUV listed, 15 amp, relay switched 120 VAC outlet, with a terminal strip that allows remote control via safe, inexpensive, low voltage Class 2 wiring. It includes an internal 12 VDC supply, and can be controlled from a remote location with maintained or momentary contact switches.
Multiple MINIPORTs may be connected together so that all are controlled by a single switch closure, and may be linked so that all turn on simultaneously or one by one, in a delayed sequence. If delayed, the delay interval between the turn-on of one MINIPORT and the next is approximately 3 seconds. (Delayed turn-on is useful in avoiding large inrush currents that can trip house circuit breakers, that would otherwise occur if all amps were turned on simultaneously.) Turn-off always occurs simultaneously, however.
A Furman PowerLink can also be used to control MINIPORT(s). In this use, the MINIPORT(s) are connected to terminals on the PowerLink, which provide the necessary control functions. MINIPORTs are similarly compatible with the Furman PowerPort and ASD-120 Sequenced Power Distro. With the addition of a PS-REL AC Relay to provide control, a MINIPORT can be used to extend the capacity of any other Furman power product — or, for that matter, any product with a switched outlet, such as a receiver/ amp controlled with a wireless remote. When used in this manner, the MINIPORT is switched on or off when the outlet that the PS-REL is plugged into goes on or off.
The MINIPORT-15 comes equipped with two knockout holes for permanent installation with 1/2' conduit — one on the top surface, the other on the bottom. Use of the bottom knockout hole requires removing the AC cord. According to the National Electrical Code, 1/2' conduit can accommodate up to five 20 amp circuits using ten THWN 12 gauge stranded wires; however, local codes should be checked for exact requirements.
MINIPORTs are housed in rugged steel enclosures and come equipped with a heavy duty, 10 foot AC cord. The MINIPORT-15 is fused. The MINIPORT-15 is NRTL-C TUV listed.
