PS Audio Power Plant P500 Operation Manual - page 6
Additional Display Notifications
HOT! - If the P500 exceeds safe operating
temperature the front panel display will flash
"HOT!". The Regenerated AC outlets will stop
generating AC until the P500 returns to safe
operating temperature. The internal fan will
continue to run and the power should not be
disconnected at this time. See troubleshooting
guide if problem persists.
PERCENTAGE - If the equipment connected to
the Regenerated AC outlets draws current over
100% for more than 3 seconds, or over 200%
for any amount of time, the display will flash
the over current percentage (ex. 184%) and the
P500 will shut down. If the behavior continues
the load should be reduced. This can be done by
moving some of the equipment powered by the
Regenerated AC outlets to the Filtered AC outlets.
See troubleshooting guide if problem persists.
SHORT - If the P500 detects an electrical short
either internal or external the front panel display
will flash "SHORT". If turning the unit off
and back on again from the front panel
does not correct the problem then the
power cable should be removed and
reinserted. See troubleshooting guide if
problem persists.
FAULT - If there is any other type of
operational error the P500 will flash
"FAULT" in the display. The same
procedure should be taken as in SHORT
mode. See troubleshooting guide if
problem persists.
Note About Operation:
In all of these situations the Regenerated AC outlets will
not produce power, however, the Filtered AC outlets will
continue to pass power. If the P500 is in display blanking
mode the above notifications will still be displayed.
