Hmm, that's definitely not the one I have - Mine has two rows of 5 LEDs each, one representing the load bargraph, the other being status lights. Mains plugs are reversable over here (forgot to mention - I'm in Germany).

Would it do that even if it is in standby and no voltage is present at the outputs?

Truely unfortunate to thouroughly sick. So I have, what, a T1000 XR INTL? Sorry for the confusion, which I also fell victim to. I'd still be interested in a more comprehensive manual, which was reportedly distributed on the "Power Products Documentation CD" only - or information from experienced users - in order to confirm the device is behaving correctly.

Thanks already,
