Owner’s Reference
Power Plant Premier
The Power Plant Premier has selectable
Power Zone switching. Each of the 5 IsoZones
on the Power Plant Premier are controlled by
one of three Power Zones labeled A, B and
C. A controls IsoZones 1 and 2, B controls
IsoZones 3 and 4 and C controls IsoZone 5
(labeled Power Amp).
Each of the three Power Zones can be set to
one of three positions: always on, switched
and delayed.
Always on. The front panel power button
(PS blue logo) or rear panel DC triggers will
have no effect on any Power Zone switched
to this position. Anything plugged into a
receptacle will be immediately connected to the regenerated AC power. Use this setting for equipment
you never want to turn off from the Power Plant Premier’s main power button. Examples would be a
computer or a TIVO (so it can record a preset program when the system is shut off) or another piece
of equipment used for a trigger voltage.
Switched. The power button on the Power Plant Premier (PS blue logo) or the DC triggers will activate
or deactivate any equipment plugged into a receptacle set to “switched”. This is the standard default
and recommended switch setting for any source equipment plugged into the Power Plant Premier.
These receptacles will become the delayed receptacles on turn-off, giving the power amplifi er time to
shut off properly.
Delayed. After the power button is pressed or the trigger is activated on the Power Plant Premier,
these outlets will be delayed by 3 seconds before turning on. Use this setting for power amplifi ers
or any equipment that should turn on after the Power Plant Premier’s switched outlets are activated.
These recetacles will turn off immediately when the power button is pressed and the switched outlets
become delayed.
DC triggers on the Power Plant Premier are used to remotely turn on and off the Power Plant Premier.
These will accept any voltage from 5 to 15 volts. If your equipment produces a DC trigger voltage, use
this input to control the Power Plant Premier.
The CATV and telephone protection inlets found on the Power Plant Premier are high quality, no-loss
in/out paths for protection. The CATV connectors can accommodate two sources such as a cable
TV or a satellite or antenna feed.
Once everything is connected you can press the front panel blue PS logo light which will act as the
on/off power button if you are not using the DC triggers or do not have the Always On switch position
activated on the rear of the unit.
