Product OverviewThe Middle Atlantic MPR-SEQ-1CA is a sequence control module with power cord for MPR Series power distribution units. It enables controlled, staggered power-up sequencing of rackmount equipment to prevent inrush current spikes and protect connected devices during startup.Product DescriptionThe MPR-SEQ-1CA sequence control module integrates with Middle Atlantic MPR Series rackmount power strips to deliver timed, sequential power activation across connected outlets. By staggering the power-on sequence of amplifiers, processors, displays, and other AV or IT equipment, it reduces the risk of inrush current overloading circuit breakers and power supplies. The included power cord simplifies installation and ensures a complete, ready-to-deploy solution. This module is essential for multi-device AV systems where proper power-up order is critical to system protection and longevity.Key Features Sequential power-up control for MPR Series power distribution units Staggered startup prevents inrush current overloads on branch circuits Includes power cord for complete, out-of-the-box installation Protects amplifiers, processors, and other sensitive equipment during power-on Designed for integration with Middle Atlantic MPR Series rackmount power strips Typical Applications Multi-zone AV systems with amplifiers, DSPs, and processing equipment Broadcast control rooms requiring controlled power sequencing Corporate AV installations with multiple high-inrush devices Data center and IT racks where sequential power-on prevents circuit overload Technical Specifications Model: MPR-SEQ-1CA Function: Sequence control module Compatibility: Middle Atlantic MPR Series power distribution units Included Accessories: Power cord FAQ What is power sequencing and why does it matter? Power sequencing staggers the startup of connected devices over time, preventing simultaneous inrush currents from tripping breakers or damaging power supplies. Is the MPR-SEQ-1CA compatible with all MPR power strips? The module is designed for use with Middle Atlantic MPR Series units.
