Quintet and Duet Power Center
®
systems and small electric tools. It is unnecessary to have a lot of current (power) to operate the
trigger, and any voltage between 5 and 15 will do fi ne.
You do not have to use the Power Amp IsoZone on the Quintet for a power amp. It is marked like this
for convenience.
All IsoZones are identical in build and
all use our new Nano Crystalline soft
magnetic material to clean the AC
power.
You can plug the Control Center into a
15 amp or 20 amp receptacle without
any problems (half of that current in 220
volt countries).
If the blue logo power button blinks
when you fi rst plug in the Power Center
to an AC receptacle, this is normal. The
unit is calculating the voltage being fed
to it. A fast blinking logo power button means there is an over or under voltage situation and the unit
has shut off. This occurs at 130 (260) volts on the high side and 100 (200) volts on the low side. The
Power Center should automatically turn back on when the voltage on the line has returned to normal.
If it does not, simply press the logo power button to reactivate the Power Center.
If the logo light fl ashes slowly, it means the voltage has exceeded 125 (250) on the high side or
dropped below 105 (210) volts on the low side. The blinking only indicates a potential problem. There
is no harm in running most equipment at these higher and lower voltages.
The Power Center is specifi c to your country’s voltage. Do not use the Power Center on a voltage
higher than it is rated for. For instance, do not take a 120 volt rated Power Center and attempt to use
it in a 230 volt country. Failure to observe this cautionary note will void your warranty and may damage
the Power Center. If you need to operate the Power Center at a voltage other than the voltage it was
designed for, contact your dealer, distributor or the factory.
What if it fl ashes
slowly?
What does it
mean if the logo
power button is
fl ashing?
Will it work on
other voltages?
Is there
something
special about
