service.
The P1000 seems to be working, but the dis- play is blank
The P1000 may be in the display blanking mode. Press the Mode Up or Down buttons on the front panel and the display should turn back on.
My turntable or fan based equipment is not operating normally
Any turntable or equipment with AC synchronous fans should not be used with MultiWave II or AutoWave. These products must be used with 60Hz SINE mode or be plugged into the Filtered AC outlets.
The P1000 shut down but the display is blank and the fuses are not blown
The P1000 has redundant thermal protection that will shut the unit down in the event the internal temperature is too hot. If airflow is inadequate or room temperature is very warm and the P1000 is run near 100% capacity for very long periods of time this type of
Note:
The following display messages apply only to the regenerator circuit. The Power Port receptacle dedi- cated to the built in High Current Ultimate Outlet will continue to pass AC.
The display is flashing “HOT!”
The P1000 will turn itself off and flash “HOT!” on the display if it detects an internal temperature that exceeds safe operating limits.
The P1000 will not power up during the cool down process. The P1000 is ready to be reactivated only after it returns to safe operating temperature, at this time the power button will become active.
Please use this time to reduce the load that is connected to the Regenerated AC outlets of the P1000. This message will be displayed when the
The display is flashing a percentage
The P1000 will turn itself off and flash a percent- age (for example, “184%”) on the display if it detects an
If the current draw exceeds 100% of the P1000’s maximum recommended capacity for more than 3 seconds, it will power down and display the over- current amount.
If the current draw exceeds 200% of the P1000’s maximum recommended capacity, it will instanta- neously power down and display the
Press the front panel power button once to clear the flashing display and again to turn the unit back on. If this message continues to appear, you must reduce the load on the P1000.
The display is flashing “SHORT”
The P1000 will turn itself off and flash “SHORT” on the display if it detects an electrical short, which means a product connected to the P1000 is trying to draw too much current. This could be related to a defective power cable that is plugged into the back of the P1000.
Press the front panel power button once to clear the flashing display and again to turn the unit back on. If it continues to flash “SHORT” disconnect all output connections from the back of the P1000 and power it up again. Be sure to check the power cables for any defects before plugging them back in.
If the display continues to read “SHORT” please contact your dealer for additional service.
The display is flashing “FAULT”
The P1000 will turn itself off and flash “FAULT” on the display if it detects a general hardware or software error. It is highly unlikely that the P1000 will ever experience this condition, but FAULT indicator has been
If this message is displayed, simply turn the P1000

* Note about power consumption:
The P1000 is capable of delivering up to 1000 watts into a reactive load and up to 700 watts into a resistive load. Examples of a reactive load are: most solid state equipment and video products. An example of a resistive load is: tube based equipment.
1.Place the P1000 in a rack or on a shelf in the audio/video system. If placed on carpet it is necessary to use isolation or accessory feet to elevate it above the carpet 1 inch. Failure to do so could compromise the power regeneration capabilities of the P1000.
2.Connect audio/video equipment to the P1000. There are five electrically isolated duplex recep- tacles on the P1000, which are oriented verti- cally.
For optimum performance, we recommend that equipment with medium wattage power require- ments be plugged into the “Regenerated AC” receptacles
Equipment with extremely high wattage power requirements should be plugged into the “Filtered AC” receptacles (direct view TVs, plasma or pro- jection displays,
3.Plug the P1000 into a power source such as a wall outlet. Use the supplied AC power cable, or an aftermarket power cable. We would strongly urge the use of an xStream Power Cable.
4.Turn on the P1000 by pressing the power but- ton located on the center of the front panel. The Regenerated AC zone will become active. The Filtered AC zone immediately becomes active when the P1000 is plugged into a live outlet.
5.If desired, select a MultiWave II setting or allow AutoWave to adapt to the power needs of your system using the front panel controls.
Default settings
The P1000 comes from the factory with standard default settings that should work well for most situations. The type of power delivery can be configured to achieve the optimal performance for any system.
