Rear Panel Layout
[AUTO] AutoWave
This revolutionary new process automatically computes the best MultiWave II setting for a par- ticular power load as presented by the connected equipment. The beauty of this system is its ability to instantly change the power setting of the AC regenerator with the dynamic load variations the equipment presents.
AutoWave automatically selects MultiWave™ 2- 4 depending on the dynamics of the power load. The selection is made continuously as the power factor changes.
Music is a dynamic medium as is video. One MultiWave II setting may be the best when an audio/video system is reproducing low level infor- mation and another MultiWave II setting may be better when higher levels of power are delivered to either the loudspeaker or to a video monitor.
AutoWave solves this problem by selecting the exact waveform combination based on the equip- ment’s dynamic needs.
Troubleshooting Guide
The Power Plant P1000 sets a new mark for per- formance and protection. It has been designed to bring forth the absolute best from the con- nected equipment. In addition to the audio and video improvements, the P1000 will also provide
In the event of abnormal operation with the P1000, please refer to the following suggestions:
Unit will not turn on
1. Check the obvious. Is it plugged in and is the |
AC wall outlet live? This can easily be tested by |
using a functional lamp. Plug the lamp into the |
wall outlet and see if the light works. If not, the |
P1000 may be plugged into a switched outlet, or |
perhaps the circuit breaker feeding the outlet has |
tripped and needs resetting. |
2. After plugging the unit into the wall, the display |
will read “WAIT” for several seconds to initialize |
1. Filtered AC zone
One Power Port duplex receptacle provides two outlets for filtered AC. The filtered AC zone will pass as much current as a 15 amp wall receptacle can provide, up to 1800 watts.
The controls for frequency, voltage, and MultiWave setting do not affect the Filtered AC zone outlets.
This power zone should be used for very high current draw products which require more power than the Regenerated AC zone will provide.
The Filtered AC zone will always pass power regardless of the front panel power status or fault status.
2. PS Bus
The P1000 comes equipped with a built in PS Bus. The PS Bus allows other PS Audio products equipped with a PS Bus to communicate via stan- dard RJ11 “twisted end” crossover cable.
3 & 5. Main and Protection Fuses
The main fuse is a 15 Amp slow blow. The pro- tection fuse is a 1 Amp fast blow. Both can be removed by inserting a flat device into the fuse holder and twisting
4. IEC AC Power Inlet
15 Amp IEC standard male socket.
6. Regenerated AC zone
Four Power Port duplex receptacles provide eight outlets for regenerated AC. The Regenerated AC zone will produce up to 1000 watts peak power depending on the type of load.
The Regenerated AC zone will only pass power if the front panel power switch is on and the P1000 is not in a fault status mode.
MultiWave II and the associated TubeWave and AutoWave waveforms are only available through the Regenerated AC Zone outlets.
Notice of MultiWave II operation:
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.
Servo System
The Power Plant P1000 provides a virtual Servo System to continually correct for any DC offset. This will reduce hum from problematic or sensitive transformers as the Power Plant produces pure AC waveforms indefinitely without the need for calibration.
its circuitry. The P1000 will only become activated |
after pressing the front panel power button. Be |
sure that the unit is both plugged into the wall and |
turned on by the front panel power button. |
3. Check the Main Fuse. The chances of the Power |
Plant’s main fuse being blown are very remote. |
However, if the Main Fuse is blown, the P1000 |
will be completely inoperable. To check the fuse |
locate the section of the back panel labeled “Main |
Fuse.” Unplug the unit from the wall, remove |
the fuse and check its conductivity. If necessary, |
replace the fuse and try powering up the P1000. |
If the main fuse is blown and a replacement fuse |
does not solve the problem, please contact your |
dealer for additional service. |
The Regenerator outlets are passing AC, but the Filtered AC outlets are not functioning
Check the Protection Fuse. To check the fuse locate the section of the back panel labeled “Protection Fuse.” Unplug the unit from the wall, remove the fuse and check its conductivity. If necessary, replace the fuse and try powering
