Once you have decided on the location and chosen the appropriate power cables, you are ready to
install the UPC-HB.
The UPC-HB has two output choices available: “FILTER ONLY” or “FILTER AND HUMBUSTER”.
Choose FILTER ONLY if you want to run equipment with the benefi ts of fi ltered AC. Examples would
be analog sources and digital sources. Analog sources might be a preamplifi er, phono stage or analog
power amplifi er. Digital sources might be a CD player or a D to A converter. Choose FILTER AND
HUMBUSTER if you want to lower or eliminate hum inside a unit, sensitive to DC on the line. Examples
might be a noisy power amplifi er .
You can power any piece of equipment you
wish with either the FILTER ONLY or the FILTER
AND HUMBUSTER outlets with no concerns.
Both Power Ports on each of the two output
choices are tied together and are in parallel.
This means that the two receptacles in
FILTER ONLY are tied together and the two
receptacles on FILTER AND HUMBUSTER are
tied together.
Both the FILTER ONLY and the FILTER AND
HUMBUSTER are fi rst cleaned by the UPC-HB’s
Ultimate Power Cell and connected equipment
will benefi t from either set of outputs.
Turn off the unit you are going to power with the
UPC-HB. We recommend turning all equipment in the system off or to standby mode when powering
down the unit you wish to power with the UPC-HB.
Remove the power cord that was powering your AV unit from its power source. The power source
could be a wall AC receptacle, the output of a power conditioner, surge and spike protector or a
Power Plant AC regenerator.
Insert the UPC-HB into the system. Plug the UPC-HB into the power source using the AC power cable
you selected. It is advisable to use as short a power cable as possible to the UPC-HB. We do not
recommend plugging the UPC-HB into an extension strip or plug extender unless it is of the highest
quality and heavy duty design, such as the PS Audio Juice Bar or device with similar properties.
If the AC power source is a balanced transformer or Power Plant, plug the UPC-HB into the output of
the transformer or Power Plant.
Once the UPC-HB has been connected to the power source, make sure that power source is energized
and providing AC power to the UPC-HB.
