Program the Socket Banks

Each socket bank on the rear panel of the Power Console PF50 is programmable. Using the slide switches on the rear panel, you can program the sockets for switched or unswitched, and for delay or always-on (no delay) (Fig. 2). You can also determine the length of the delay (5, 10, or 15 seconds).

A.Socket Banks Always-On (Unswitched): For components that need to retain memory or other settings (DVRs, satellite receivers, VCRs), set the top slide switch to “Always ON” (Fig. 2a). These socket banks will always supply power when the Power Console is plugged into the wall socket.

B.Socket Banks Switched On (No Delay): Set the top slide switch to “Switched”. Make sure that the lower slide switch is set to “No Delay” (Fig. 2b). The socket banks will be immediately powered-on when the Power Console is switched-on by pressing the “Switched” button on the front of the unit. “Switched” sockets can also be switched-on by external remote signal (see pages 10-11). These sockets will remain powered-on for a short period of time after switching them off depending on the “Delay Time” setting (see “Delay Time Switch” below).

C.Socket Banks Switched On After Delay: You may find it necessary to program your sockets to switch on after a delay. Once the delay is set, the sockets will be powered-on after the sockets that are set for “no delay” have powered-on. They will then power-off in reverse sequence: “delay” sockets will power-off first and “no delay” sockets will power-off last. This is useful to avoid the loud and occasionally damaging speaker “thump” created when the amplifier voltage is stabilizing.

i). Set the top slide switch to “Switched” and the bottom slide switch to “Delay” (Fig. 2c).

ii). Repeat this for each bank that you want to be switched on after a delay.

iii). Press the “Switched” button on the front of the Power Console to activate all of the switched sockets.

Note: The delay can only be set on “Switched” sockets.

D.Delay Time Switch: This switch sets the length of delay for all socket banks that are programmed as “Switched” and “Delay”. Set the delay time by selecting 5, 10, or 15 seconds (Fig. 2d). 15 seconds is the recommended delay time for tube amplifiers.
