How to Set Up and Operate Panther Power on Delay

Are you wondering why your appliance always ends up damaged even if you take good care of it?

One reason could be because you don’t unplug appliances from the power source during power outages. Did you know? The voltage surge that comes immediately after a power interruption can cause irreparable damage to your appliance, especially when it’s exposed to these types of voltage surges consistently.

Thankfully, you can count on Panther Power on Delay to help. No longer do you have to go around manually unplugging appliances in the event of a power outage. Instead, simply plug your appliance into a Panther Power on Delay and it will do all the protecting for you!

Panther Power on Delay is designed for compressor type equipment such as freezers, refrigerators and air conditioners, because these are the appliances most susceptible to outage damage.

Purchased a Panther Power on Delay already? You’ve made the right decision. Let us show you how to set up the Panther Power on Delay, and explain how it works.

Step 1: Check your appliance or equipment to make sure its rated capacity does not exceed the maximum capacity of the Power on Delay

• Make sure that the combined maximum power consumption of the appliance/s you’ll be plugging into the Panther Power on Delay is below 10A (~2500 Watts).
• Note that the PPD 1000 is designed with overload protection, wherein the built-in circuit breaker will trip in case of overload to protect both the Power on Delay and the plugged-in appliance. When this happens, simply push the breaker to reset it, however we would advise you NOT to plug in the same appliance again, as the circuit breaker tripping could be indicative of overload.

 

Step 2: Check your supply voltage

• The allowable input voltage for the Panther Power on Delay is ~220-230V AC, which is the normal power supply in the Philippines.
• If your supply input voltage is NOT 220-230V AC, kindly coordinate with us as this would require unit modifications.

 

Step 3: Check your appliance’s rated voltage

• As the Power on Delay’s input voltage is ~220-230V AC, make sure your appliance’s rated voltage is 220-230V AC as well. If it is, plug your appliance into the Power on Delay.
• If your appliance is not rated 220-230V AC, plug the appliance into an appropriate transformer first to convert the voltage, then plug the transformer into the power on delay.

 

Step 4 (optional): Mount the Power on Delay on the wall

• If you mount the unit on the wall, you will need two metal flat head screws (1/8″ head, minimum 1/2″ length protrusion). You can find the mounting location at the back of the unit’s casing.

 

Step 5: Plug the power cord of the Power on Delay into the power source

• Now, plug your Power on Delay into a power supply outlet. Make sure you plug it in properly, in order to avoid short circuit or electric shocks.

 

Step 6: Plug your appliance into the Panther Power on Delay, and switch on the appliance

• After plugging the appliance into the Panther Power on Delay, the appliance will remain off for ~3-5 minutes. After this time period has passed, only then will the appliance automatically turn on.
• The 3- 5 minutes delay allows the the system pressure to normalize before resuming its power supply to the appliance. This ensures only stable voltage will enter your appliance, thereby increasing its lifespan.
• And voila, once a power interruption occurs, no need to unplug your appliance anymore. Simply let the Panther Power on Delay do its job and protect your appliance from voltage surges.
