LAB12 Gordian - Multifunctional Power Distributor / Conditioner
Display modes
You can configure the operation of Gordian's OLED display with the rotary switch on the right side of the
face plate. If you want the OLED display to be always active switch the knob to the "ON" position. If you
want the OLED display to be always inactive switch the knob to the "OFF" position. If you want the display
to become active only when your audio system is active and automatically switch off when you switch off
your system then you have to configure the "stand by" current of your system and switch the knob to the
"AUTO" position.
To configure the "stand by" current shut down all your system's devices and navigate to the standby
current setup (menu item 12). Press and hold the navigation button and Gordian will store the current
consumption of your inactive system. Rotate the display mode switch to the "AUTO" position and the
OLED display will now become active only when your system's current consumption is great enough to
indicate that your system is active.
Connections
Main connections
Connect a high grade 20A power cable to the IEC input and to your wall socket. Make sure that
your wall socket provides a good ground before connecting the power cable. You can supply 230 to
240 Volts AC (50Hz). Check polarity immediately after first time use and correct wall plug if needed.
Gordian is calibrated and tested connected with a Lab12 Knack 20A power cable. We strongly
suggest to use this cable.
Connect devices
You can connect any kind of audio-video devices on the total six power outlets on the back panel
of gordian to exploit the conditioned power. Use low filtered outputs (B) to connect high current
devices (power amplifiers, plasma tv etc.) and high filtered outlets (A) for low consumption devices
(preamplifiers, cd players, DACs etc.) Live connection is always in the right pin of each outlet. Never
exceed the maximum limits of current for low and high filtered outlets (low filtered outlets max 15A,
high filtered outlets max 4A.
For the safety of your equipment
! Make sure that all of your equipment is turned off before any
connection.
! Never exceed the maximum limits of current for low and high
filtered outlets (low filtered outlets max 15A, high filtered outlets
max 4A.
