Furman MP20Q Miniport Power Relay with Quadbox Connection
The MINIPORT-20Q Power Relay is a UL/CUL listed, 20 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.
The MINIPORT-20Q provides a pair of remotely activated, relay-controlled outlets which are both set up for mounting in any standard electrical Quad Box, either directly or with a "mud ring" attached.
Due to the space limitations of a Quad Box, the "Q" MINIPORT models have a smaller feature set than the MINIPORT-15 and MINIPORT-20. The MP-15Q and MP-20Q have no internal power supply; a maintained 10-30VDC supply capable of supplying 10 mA is required to turn on the outlets. This can be supplied by a Furman PowerLink, ASD-120 or PS-8R (with a simple internal modification to the PS-8R). UL, C-UL pending.
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) areconnected 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.
