the network’s modem on this zone as well, for the same reason.
6.
ALWAYS ON: In this setting, the P10 will output power from this zone regardless of
whether the front-panel power button is engaged. As long as the Power Plant 10 is
plugged in and the back-panel power switch is flipped, any zone set to ALWAYS ON will
output regulated, regenerated AC power.
Note that pressing the Next button will take you from control parameters for Zone A to the
parameters for Zone B, C, and D respectively. All Zone setting can be made with the same
instructions and suggestions as described above for Zone A.
Sinewave & Multiwave
By selecting the icon labeled WAVEFORM the Power Plant 10 will toggle between MultiWave
or SineWave. In the MultiWave position, the peak charging time of the sine wave is extended to
help connected equipment lower power supply ripple and will therefore improve the performance.
MultiWave can have the same improvement gained from adding a larger power transformer or
more power supply capacitance to connected equipment.
Degaussing Connected Transformers
By selecting the icon labeled CLEAN
the Power Plant 10 will activate the
CleanWave function and the display
of the P10 will begin to countdown the
time left as the P10 is applying the
CleanWave signal. CleanWave places a
series of higher frequencies that ride on
the main sine wave to help “degauss”
connected magnetics. To ensure that
CleanWave is effective, make sure
all connected equipment is on and
functioning. CleanWave can be used
between CD’s, movies and vinyl. It is
not recommended to activate CleanWave while you are listening as it may not sound correct until
the CleanWave cycle has finished. The option exists for a 10 second or a 60 CleanWave cycle by
touching the Add Time button.
