PerfectWave Power Plant 5
Each of the four Zones (labeled A, B, C, and D) can be independently controlled for sequenced
power-cycling combinations.
Screen #2, #3, #4, and #5: INDIVIDUAL
ZONE PARAMETERS — By touching
the Next screen from the GENERAL
SETUP menu, one will enter the
controlling interface for Zone A, which
is the name of the first two of eight total
output receptacles (four total for all
products marked UK, GR, and AU) on
the back of the Power Plant 5. Zone A,
along with each other zone, allows four
different parameters to be set.
Naming output receptacle #1, Zone A: By selecting the green “setup” button next to that zone,
the screen will change to a keyboard interface upon which letters and numbers can be touched to
name that zone. Generally, users of the Power Plant 5 will name said output receptacle by that
which is connected. For example “DAC” or “Power Amp” or “Turntable.”
Zones can also be named by accessing the online interface once a network connection has
been established and the Power Plant 5 is accessed over the network via the unit’s IP Address.
For more networking information, please the section under Getting Started: NETWORK
CONNECTIVITY.
Naming output receptacle #2, Zone A: Here precisely the same methods will be used as found
in #1, and precisely the same usage suggestions will apply.
Delay Mode: The Power Plant 5 allows for six different power sequencing options. The default
setting for all four zones is SWITCHED. All of these selections are only activated by the front-
panel power button. It is important to make the distinction between the Power Plant 5’s back-
panel power switch, which mechanically cuts incoming AC to the unit and is known as the “hard”
power switch, and the front-panel power button which illuminates blue when activated, and
functions to carry out the settings that are described below.
1.
SWITCHED: As the front-panel power button is engaged, any zone set to SWITCHED will
power up with no delay, and power down with a three-second delay.
2.
DELAYED: As the front-panel power button is engaged, any zone set to DELAYED will
power up with a three-second delay, and power down with a zero-second delay.
3.
PROGRAMMED: As the front-panel power button is engaged, any zone set to
PROGRAMMED will power up with a delay in the number of seconds desired, as well as
power down with a delay in the number of seconds desired.
4.
REBOOT: As the front-panel power button is powered down, any zone set to REBOOT
will power down accordingly, and will after a three-second delay power back on.
5.
AUTO-REBOOT: If your Power Plant 5 is connected to the network, and if the network’s
router is being powered by the Power Plant 5, you may want to set that zone to AUTO-
REBOOT. At this setting, the Power Plant 5 will use the router and the network to PING
