Filtered Outlet Banks

Eight Outlets (4 banks / 2 outlets per bank) are fed through cascaded noise filtration circuits. These circuits are designed to eliminate AC contamination that is detrimental to the performance of audio or video components like stereo receivers, VCRs or televisions. The dedicated filters are carefully engineered to provide power filtration and inter-component "noise isolation" for both “common-mode” (line/neutral to ground) and "normal-mode" (line-to-neutral) EMI/RFI. This means that high-fre- quency interference will be drastically reduced not only from the incoming power but also from equipment plugged into the other outlet banks, regardless of what "mode" it occurs in. Even equipment with ungrounded, 2-blade plugs, receives clean power.

As shown in the diagram, there are four banks of filtered outlets (not counting the High Current outlets and the front panel convenience outlet). Cascaded filter circuits are used to feed the various banks and provide maximum noise isolation and attenuation. All 4 banks benefit from the inductorless input filter, the Common Mode Balanced L filter and Normal Mode Balanced L filter circuits. Outlet banks 2 and 4 receive their clean power through this comprehensive network of filters while banks 1 and 3 benefit from additional Balanced L filters.

Outlet Banks 1 and 2 contains four switched outlets that will turn your connected equipment ON or OFF with one of two MAX® 5410 triggers front panel push-button or Voltage Sense Trigger. A 2-position slide switch located on the rear panel controls the timing. Together, these outlets can be set as Always-On or with a turn-off delay of 10 seconds to prevent speak- er "thump". This switch provides the option of having a total of eight always-on outlets. See the Sequential Startup/Shutdown section for more information.

Outlet Bank 3 and 4 remain ON continually to provide a constant power source for programmable audio/video compo- nents. A personal video recorder (such as TiVo™) and VCR are two examples of components that require a constant supply of power. A TiVo™ video recorder relies on continual power to monitor the cable signal and retain its programmed informa- tion. A VCR should be connected to one of these always-on, filtered outlets to maintain correct clock time and programmed recording information.

When set to 10 second delay position, these outlets will remain as Switched outlets, controlled by the front panel push-but- ton and/or the DC Voltage Sense Trigger. In this situation, these outlets will not power down until after the selected time has elapsed.
