About the Audiophile APS

The PurePower Audio Power Supply

The Audiophile Audio Power Supply (APS) provides pure regenerated power for your sensitive home theater and audio equipment. This is accomplished through our double conversion technology. We convert the incoming AC power to produce a clean DC supply, then recreate a new, 60

Hz, 120 volt AC wave form from the DC. We make sure that your system gets the power it was designed for and your amplifiers get the current they need for top performance.

The APS also protects from power disturbances including power sags, power surges, overvoltages, line noise, undervoltages, frequency variations, switching transients and harmonic distortion. Power disturbances have the potential to damage sensitive hardware causing expensive repairs with either catastrophic failures or degradation over time through chronic overheating.

With the APS you can safely eliminate the effects of power disturbances and guard the integrity of your equipment.

In addition to pure power, the Audiophile APS provides you with something unique in audio power regenerators - protection against power outage. The Audiophile APS maintains full wattage output even when the power fails completely.

Providing outstanding performance and reliability, the

PurePower’s unique benefits include the following:

• True double conversion AC regeneration design with pure sine wave output. The APS filters and regulates incoming AC power, creates a DC source, then regenerates new pure AC and provides monitored, consistent power to your components.

• The APS improves amplifier performance by ensuring full wattage and improves signal com ponent output quality by removing noise and distortion.

• The PurePower APS design allows any of our 6 available high quality, full contact receptacles to supply digital, analog or amplifier components.

• Hours of extended viewing or listening time with optional APS PowerPack Modules during outages.

• Optional Line surge protection guards against spikes and surges on coax or RJ11 lines.

• Start on battery capabilities allows you to power up the APS even if utility power is not available.

Bypass Mode

In the event of an extended APS overload or internal failure, the APS transfers your system to utility power. Battery mode is not available, however the utility power continues to be passively filtered by the APS. The bypass indicator illuminates when bypass mode is engaged. The APS switches to Bypass mode when:

· The APS has an overtemperature condition.

· The APS has an overloaded condition of 101 to 110% for 2 minutes.

· The APS has an overloaded condition of 111 to 150% for 30 seconds.

· The APS detects a fault in the battery or APS electronics.

Standby Mode

When the APS is plugged in initially, or is turned off and remains plugged into a power outlet, the

APS is in Standby mode. The ~ indicator flashes and the bar graph indicators are not lit, indicating that the APS output receptacles are off.

After the APS is connected to a power outlet, it conducts a self-test and enters Standby mode. To turn on the APSoutput power, press the On | button on the front panel. The ~ indicator illuminates and the bar graph indicators display the percentage of available power being supplied by the APS.

Starting the PurePower APS on battery

To turn on the APS without using utility power, press and hold the On | button for a least four seconds. The APS supplies power to your equipment and goes into Battery mode. When the APS starts on battery, it does not conduct a self-test to conserve battery power.

Turning the PurePower APS off

To turn off the APS:

· Press and hold the off button for approximately three seconds.

· The APS switches to Standby mode and removes power from the APS output receptacles.

· Unplug the APS from the power outlet; the APS shuts down in five seconds. All front panel indicators flash briefly prior to shutdown.

· If you do not unplug the APS, it remains in Standby mode.

NOTE: Pressing the off button while the APS is in Battery mode causes the APS to shut down immediately.

Initiating the Self-Test

Press and hold the alert button for three seconds to initiate the self-test. During the five-second test, the bar graph indicators cycle through twice. If the APS finds a problem, a LED indicates where the problem is. For more information, see the “Troubleshooting” section.

NOTE: The batteries must be fully charged and the APS must be in normal or standby mode to perform the self-test.

APS Maintenance

PurePower Maintenance

PurePower APS and Battery Care

For the best preventive maintenance, keep the area around the APS clean and dust-free. If the atmosphere is very dusty, clean the outside of the system with a vacuum cleaner. For full battery life, keep the APS at an ambient temperature of 21° C (72° F).

Storing the APS and Batteries

If you store the APS for a long period, recharge the batteries every 12 months by plugging the

APS into a power outlet. The batteries charge to 80% capacity in approximately 2 hours.

However, it is recommended that the batteries charge for 24 hours after long-term storage.

When to Replace Batteries

When the battery indicator illuminates, the batteries may need replacing. Conduct a self-test. If the battery indicator stays on, contact Audiophile or your Audiophile dealer to order new batteries. The average battery life is aproximately 5-7 years.

The PurePower APS will still provide full power conditioning and protection when the batteries need replacement, but it will not be able to continue to operate during a power outage.

You may perform the battery replacement yourself by ordering an Audiophile battery replacement kit. Full instructions are included with the kit and are also available on our web site.
