Power Plant Premier
The Power Plant Premier is best left plugged
in to the AC source at all times. The current
draw is negligible and keeping it powered on
will make sure the internal components stay
working properly.
There is no harm in leaving the unit on at
all times as the lifespan of the Power Plant
Premier will be unaffected by leaving it on.
There are no user replaceable internal fuses
inside the Power Plant Premier. There is an
externally accessible circuit breaker right next
to where the AC plug is connected to the
Power Plant Premier. Simply push the button
on the circuit breaker should it be tripped. The
components inside the Power Plant Premier
have lethal voltages when powered and even
when un-powered. Capacitors inside the
Power Plant Premier can retain an electrical
charge after the unit has been powered down.
Do not attempt to get inside the unit for any
reason unless instructed to do so by your
dealer or an authorized service representative.
Should the Power Plant Premier cease to function, check the circuit breaker and if that fails, contact
your dealer or PS Audio’s service center for help.
Placement of the Power Plant Premier is important with respect to good ventilation. Placement with
respect to other equipment can be important as well. In general, place the Power Plant Premier close
to the equipment you wish to power. It is always preferable to have a long heavy gauge power cable
feeding the Power Plant Premier if there is a distance problem.
Isolation through the use of spikes, cones or Sorbothane feet is recommended for the Power Plant
Premier if space and budget allows. Isolation of any piece of high-end stereo and theater equipment
is always recommended wherever practical.
Yes, cables make a difference. It is important to use the best power cables possible. Remember that
everything you see and hear in an AV system is nothing more than the power from the wall modulated
by a CD, DVD, turntable or tuner. You are actually “listening or viewing” the AC power. So it is critically
important to connect your equipment with the heaviest gauge well shielded power cables you can
afford. Power is the foundation of everyone’s system.
The master power switch for the Power Plant Premier is found on the front panel of the Power Plant
Premier. Look for the company logo and press it.
