RE: Oyaide R1 outlets in UPC-200

Yes, the R1's don't quite fit as well as the 'shortened' power ports, but they can be installed with some effort. Replacing just one of the two outlets isn't too bad; replacing both is harder.

It is easier to replace the outlet furthest (right side) from the IEC inlet; this is because there is a flange on the inlet that interferes with the attachment ear on the R1. To replace the right side outlet, loosen the left (IEC side) outlet anchor screw as far as you can without removing the inner nut. Remove the other two anchor screws completely. Now install the R1. If you will not use the remaining power port, attach only the R1 with the center screw (the power port ear hits the R1 body and can't be attached; or you could file the ear). Retighten the left screw only enough to snug down the power port so that it isn't loose. When replacing the upc cover you'll see that the R1 ear just barely keeps it from sliding on all the way. However the four back panel screws can still be put in. If you do it this way just remember not to use the power port, since it is probably not well enough anchored to insert a plug. Hope this is clear enough.

Regards,
Jerry
