Product Information
Full details
The Transcension BOTE66 is a robust power distribution box designed for professionals in live events, stage production, or any application requiring multiple power connections. Its key benefit is providing a centralized and protected power hub with both PowerCON and IEC outputs, simplifying cable management and ensuring safety. A potential caveat is its fixed output configuration, which may require users to adapt their existing cable setups. This unit offers a single input and twelve outputs, featuring a heavy-duty metal housing, an inline circuit breaker for overload protection, and a power indicator LED.

FAQs
What is the maximum load capacity of this distribution box?
The unit features a 20A resettable circuit breaker, which dictates the maximum safe load for the entire unit. Always ensure your total connected load does not exceed this limit.
Can I connect any type of equipment to the IEC outlets?
Yes, the IEC outlets are standard connectors and can be used with most audio-visual equipment that uses an IEC power cable, provided the total power draw is within the unit's capacity.
How do I reset the circuit breaker?
Locate the resettable circuit breaker button on the unit and press it firmly. If it trips again immediately, there is likely an overload or a fault with one of the connected devices.
Can I link multiple Transcension BOTE66 units together?
Yes, the unit features PowerCON link out on the side panel, allowing you to daisy-chain multiple distribution boxes to expand your power distribution capabilities.
What is the warranty period for the Transcension BOTE66?
Please refer to the manufacturer's documentation or the retailer for specific warranty information, as this can vary.
Is the housing weather-resistant?
The unit has a heavy-duty metal housing suitable for demanding environments, but it is not rated as weather-resistant. It should be protected from direct exposure to rain and moisture.
Troubleshooting
No power to outputs
Verify the main power source is active. Check if the 20A circuit breaker has tripped and reset it. Ensure the PowerCON input cable is securely connected.
Circuit breaker trips frequently
The connected devices are drawing more current than the 20A breaker can handle. Disconnect some devices or redistribute the load across multiple distribution boxes. Ensure devices are functioning correctly and not drawing excessive power.
PowerCON outputs not working
Ensure the PowerCON cables are correctly seated and locked. Check if the circuit breaker has tripped. Test the output with a known working device.
LED power indicator is off
This indicates no power is reaching the unit. Check the power source and the input cable connection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Connect a suitable power source to the PowerCON input. Ensure the main power source does not exceed the combined load capacity supported by the 20A circuit breaker. Connect your equipment to the available PowerCON or IEC outputs. For daisy-chaining multiple units, use the PowerCON link out. The unit can be mounted to walls or clamped onto trussing using appropriate hardware (not included).
Compatibility: The unit operates on 100-240V AC, 50/60Hz, making it globally compatible. It is designed to connect with standard PowerCON and IEC power cords.
Care: To ensure longevity and optimal performance, keep the unit clean and free from dust and debris. Use a dry or slightly damp cloth for cleaning; avoid solvents. Regularly inspect power connections for wear and tear. Ensure the circuit breaker is reset only after identifying and rectifying the overload condition.
