PS Audio PD 3.5 Troubleshooting Guide, Unit will not turn on, The front panel logo is flashing

Troubleshooting Guide

In the event you experience difficulties with the operation of your Power Director 3.5, we offer the following suggestions:

Unit will not turn on.

1.Check the obvious. Is it plugged in, and is the AC wall outlet live?

2.Check the circuit breaker on the Power Director 3.5. Check to make sure the breaker has not tripped. If it has been tripped, push it in to reset it. The circuit breaker may require a few minutes before it can be reset.

3.Check the internal fuse. The chances of the Power Director 3.5’s internal fuse being blown are very remote. This fuse is there to protect the control circuitry. Unplug the Power Director 3.5 from the wall outlet before removing the top cover. If the fuse is blown, replace it with a 3- amp fast blow (5x20mm) fuse.

4.There is an un-powered jack plugged into the DC trigger input. If there is a connector plugged into the DC trigger input located on the rear of the Power Director 3.5, the unit will not turn on unless that connector has at least 6 volts DC on it. Remove the connector if necessary.

Specific Power Zones will not turn off.

If any power mode switch on the rear panel is set to ON then that specific zone will continue to pass power even if the director is switched off.

Move the switch for the specific zone to switched [SW] power mode. The director will now only provide power when it is on.

The front panel logo is flashing.

The Power Director 3.5 will indicate protection circuitry failure by flashing the front panel logo. Under this condition no power will be provided from the rear panel outlets regardless of the position of the power mode switches. If this situ- ation persists contact service at PS Audio.

The PS logo does not illuminate.

If all power mode switches are set to ON then the Power Director 3.5 will still continue to pass power to connected products when in standby mode. The PS logo will not illuminate. Ensure the Power Director 3.5 is in operate mode.

If the PS logo still does not illuminate when in operate mode, use the included Logo trim tool to adjust the intensity of the logo. See the Logo trim tool section on page 5 for more information.
