PS Audio P1000 quick start Additional Display Notifications, Setup Display Mode

•100 volt model ranges from 95 - 105 v Default setting is 100 volts.

•120 volt model ranges from 100 - 120 v Default setting is 117 volts.

•240 volt model ranges from 220 - 240 v Default setting is 240 volts.

(adjustments in 2 volt increments)

As long as the voltage to the Power Plant does not deviate more than 10% below normal it will continue to output the voltage displayed on the front panel.

Wattage produced

This mode will display, in real-time, the wattage the P1000 is generating. The P1000 is capable of delivering up to 1000 watts for short amounts of time, however if over 1000 watts is drawn for too long or peak wattage is too large then the P1000 will go into protection mode. The watt meter will only show the total wattage produced for the zone labeled Regenerated AC.

Percentage of maximum power output

This mode will display, in real-time, the percent- age of total power currently being used by equip- ment on the Regenerated AC outlets. This reading will factor the type of load into the percentage of maximum power output. The percentage of maxi- mum power output is not necessarily proportional to the wattage produced, as it will vary with the type of load.

It is possible that the display will show over 100% for short amounts of time during heavy current draw. This will typically occur during loud or very dynamic passages of music or very bright scenes in video. The P1000 will not maintain 100% output power continuously.

Display Blanking

This mode allows discrete front panel operation by blanking the display. The PS logo will continue to illuminate in blue to indicate that the unit is operational.

Additional Display Notifications

HOT! - If the P1000 exceeds safe operating tem- perature the front panel display will flash “HOT!”. The Regenerated AC outlets will stop generating AC until the P1000 returns to safe operating tem- perature. The power should not be disconnected at this time. See troubleshooting guide if problem persists.

PERCENTAGE - If the equipment connected to the Regenerated AC outlets draws current over 100% for more than 3 seconds, or over 200% for any amount of time, the display will flash the over current percentage (ex. 184%) and the P1000 will shut down. If the behavior continues the load should be reduced. This can be done by moving some of the equipment powered by the Regenerated AC outlets to the Filtered AC outlets. See troubleshooting guide if problem persists.

SHORT - If the P1000 detects an electrical short either internal or external the front panel display will flash “SHORT”. If turning the unit off and back on again from the front panel does not correct the problem then the power cable should be removed and reinserted. See troubleshooting guide if prob- lem persists.

FAULT - If there is any other type of operational error the P1000 will flash “FAULT” in the dis- play. The same procedure should be taken as in SHORT mode. See troubleshooting guide if prob- lem persists.

Note About Operation:

In all of these situations the Regenerated AC outlets will not produce power, however, the Filtered AC outlets will continue to pass power. If the P1000 is in display blanking mode the above notifications will still be displayed.

Setup Display Mode

There are 5 additional parameters that you can access in the setup display mode.

The setup display mode can be activated by pressing the Mode Up and Mode Down buttons simultaneously while powering on the P1000.

Pressing Mode Up/Down will scroll through the 5 setup parameters. The 4-setup parameters are:

1.	Software version	[VER.]
2.	Network Address	[N ADR]
3.	Network Group	[N GRP]
4.	Network Power On/Off	[N PWR]
5.	Reset	[RESET]

To exit the setup menu at any time, power down the P1000 and all changes will be saved.

Software version

This mode will display the current version of the P1000 operation software. Press the Edit Up/ Down key to display the version number. This mode cannot be edited.

Network Address

If more than one piece of PS Audio equipment is used in a system, then each piece connected to the PS Bus must have a unique Network Address. In this way, each piece of PS Audio equipment can easily be recognized and identified in the Network Bus. There are 8 possible Addresses (1-8) which can be selected by pressing the Edit Up/Down buttons when in the Network Address mode.

If no Network Address is set then the P1000 will operate independently of any other PS Audio equipment on the PS Bus.

Network Group

It is possible to assign the P1000 to a unique Network Group. There are 3 possible groups which can be selected by pressing the Edit Up/ Down buttons when in the Network Group mode. If it is necessary to have more than one Group on the PS Bus then, all PS Audio products can exist on the same PS Bus yet communicate in separate groups.

Network Power

The Network Power setting will alter which PS products will be affected by the power status of the P1000. It can be set to Power or Global.

If set to Power, the P1000 will control the power status of other PS Audio “power” products on the same Network Group. If set to Global, it will con- trol the power status of all products on that Net- work Group. The default setting is Power.

Reset

If at any time it is necessary to reset all of parame- ters of the P1000 to their default settings, it can be done by pressing the Edit Up/Down button twice while in RESET mode. See Also the troubleshoot- ing guide.
