Power Plant Premier
The front panel of the Premier has three function buttons, located just below the display. It also has
multiple modes that can be accessed from the front panel or remote control including: voltage, THD,
MultiWave and CleanWave. The latter can only be accessed via the remote control.
From left to right as
you face the unit, the
functions are mode up,
mode down, display.
Mode buttons are
used to scroll through
the display options.
Display options include,
voltage and THD (Total
Harmonic Distortion).
Each mode has an
associated function
indicator that will light
up to indicate the
display function you are
on.
The default display
position is Voltage In.
This shows the voltage
coming into the Power
Plant from the AC wall socket.
Pressing the mode up button, the next display choice is Voltage Out. This displays the voltage from
the output of the Power Plant and represents the voltage being fed to your equipment. The default
Output Voltage is 230. Under normal operating conditions, the output voltage will remain steady,
The next position is the Difference Voltage. This is the numeric difference between the input AC
voltage and the Output AC voltage.
The next position is the Incoming THD measurement. This measures the percent of harmonics
present on the incoming AC line. Typical in a home is between 2% and 5%. Harmonics are
generated by distortions in the AC waveforms, clipped top of the sine wave and added noise. These
are undesirable. The Premier will reduce these harmonics on its output by up to 10 times.
The next position is Outgoing THD. This measures the percentage of harmonics present on the
output of the Power Plant, and what is being fed to your equipment.
The display button on the far right side of the Premier has three positions that control display
brightness. Full, half and off.
MultiWave and CleanWave are accessed from the supplied remote control. Using the button
