Once everything is connected you can flip the back panel power switch to power up the unit. The
P5 will initialize for several seconds before entering the home page. All zones exhibiting green
receptacle icons will be outputting regenerated AC to connected components.
Once initialization is complete, the Power Plant 5 will output regenerated AC to all zones exhibiting
green receptacle icons and will remain at the HOME SCREEN. The illuminated front-panel display is
touch-activated. By touching any of the output receptacle icons, one can toggle that zone on or off.
Upon turning off, the output receptacle icon will turn red. Below these output receptacle icons one
will find selector icons for Scope, Setup,
Waveform, and Clean.
One will also notice the “connection”
and “memory” status indicators. For
Connection one will see either a red or
green colored “globe” symbol based
on whether or not the unit is connected
to the network via Ethernet cable. A
valid connection to the router must
be established, the router must be
activated, and the DHCP server must
be enabled to assign an IP address to
your Power Plant 5 in order to achieve
a “green” connection status. Memory will display either a red or green “card” symbol based on
whether the SD Card is inserted into the reader on the back-panel.
In some instances, one will notice a third status indicator which is a circle with the image of an AC
plug inset. During typical operation, this status indicator will not be present. However if the Power
Plant 5 is outputting 90% of its full potential, the status indicator will appear in orange color. If the
Power Plant 5 is outputting 100% of its potential, the status indicator will be red in color. Both
of these status indicators are warnings that the P5 is being pushed too hard, and that a smaller
load will be necessary. If the P5 goes over 100% of its capable output, it will shut down. For
more information on maximum load specifications, please visit Chapter 1: Introduction; Section IV:
Wattage vs. VA (Volt-Amps).
