Isolated Ground Post

Using an isolated ground wire can eliminate 
ground  potential  difference  problems  and 
provide  a  more  reliableground  connection. 
Before attaching the isolated ground wire to 
the grounding post on the P300 the internal 
ground wire must be disconnected. 

Place the P300 on its back so the underside 
is exposed. Remove the bottom cover of the 
P300  and  set  it  to  the  side.  Be  cautious  of 
the wires which are connected to the bottom 
cover.  Locate  the  green  cable  which  runs 
from  the  rear  outlets  to  the  main  cirucit 
board.  Disconnect  the  white  jumper  on  the 
green cable. 

Replace the bottom cover and screws. Now 
attach the isolated ground wire to the post. 
All  products  powered  by  the  power  plant 
will  use  this  ground  instead  of  the  ground 
supplied in the wall outlet.

Front Panel Controls 

There are four buttons on the front panel of 
the Power Plant P300.

1. Power
2. Mode 
3. Frequency Down
4. Frequency Up

Power On/Off

The power button will activate the front panel 
display and provide power to the outlets.

Mode

The  Mode  button  cycles  through  the 
available display modes.

Frequency

The  Frequency  Up  and  Frequency  Down 
buttons  cycle  through  the  available  options 
within each display mode.

Power Plant Operation

There  are  five  available  display  modes  on 
the  front  panel  of  the  Power  Plant.  The 
Mode button will cycle through the following 
five modes:

1. Waveform setting
2. Frequency generated (sin mode only)
3. Voltage produced
4. Wattage produced
5. Display blanking mode

Waveform setting

This  mode  will  display  the  name  of  the 
waveform  presently  being  generated. 
For  more  information  about  each  of  the 
MultiWave  settings,  see  the  Multiwave  II 
Waveforms section of the manual.

Frequency generated

The frequency setting will only be displayed 
if the Waveform menu is set to Sin.

This  mode  will  display  the  frequency  the 
Power  Plant  is  generating.  The  frequency 
can be adjusted in 1 hertz increments from 
50Hz to 120Hz by using the Up and Down 
buttons. The default setting is 60Hz.

Voltage produced

This mode will display the output voltage of 
the  Power  Plant. 

Note:

  the  voltage  figure 

will  be  flashing.  The  output  voltage  can 
be  adjusted  in  1  volt  increments  by  using 
the  Frequency  Up  and  Down  buttons.  The 
range varies depending on the Power Plant 
model:

• 100 volt model ranges from 95 - 105 v.
   Default setting is 100 volts.
• 120 volt model ranges from 100 - 120 v.
   Default setting is 117 volts.
• 240 volt model ranges from 220 - 240 v.
   Default setting is 220 volts.

   (adjustments in 2 volt increments)

As  long  as  the  voltage  to  the  Power  Plant 
does  not  deviate  more  than  10%  below 
normal it will continue to output the voltage 
displayed on the front panel. 

Wattage produced

This  mode  will  display,  in  real-time,  the 

approximate 

wattage  the  Power  Plant  is 

generating. Complex loads may not register
