Operating manual
AC-A3016
Connection
CAUTION: The active power distributor is equipped with safety features (see pages11- 12)
which may
cause all connected components to be switched off suddenly! In certain circumstances, this could
damage components or result in the loss of data. It is IMPERATIVE that table 1 on page 10
is observed
in order to determine which components may not be suitable for use with the device or which may be
at risk of being damaged.
1. Before connecting the AC-A3016 active power distributor, please switch off all components
and un-plug the respective mains plugs.
2. If your system already has a power strip, please remove it.
3. Position the active power distributor next to your other components. The active power
distributor may not be covered and should be sufficiently ventilated (refer to Set-up
on page 6). Note the length of the cables of the other components which will be connected
to the active power distributor. The cables should be sufficient in length and may not be
crimped, crushed or stretched under too much tension.
4. The AC-A3016 is equipped with 4 groups, each with 2 sockets (items 7-10). Every group
can be assigned to a special filter (page 14) perfectly tailored to device characteristics.
The following filters are available: Filter Off | High Power | Analogue | Digital | Group D |
Video. The groups can also be switched off individually (page 15).
Please note that socket groups B, C and D can each be loaded with a maximum of 4 ampere
(4A / 920 W in total - distributed to two sockets)..
The device categories are described in more detail on page 10. You can find an example
on page 21 and a table where you can plan the device connections and the preset
configurations on page 23.
The voltage regulators for groups B - C – D can be loaded with a maximum of 920 W/4 A.
The peak current here is 25 ampere.
5. Plug the mains power cable (item 4) of the active power distributor into a wall socket.
CAUTION: It is imperative that the phase orientation on the mains plug is observed!
The pin on the SAFETY socket with the white indicator dot MUST be connected in
phase. Non-compliance will significantly reduce the functionality and performance
of the active power distributor.
An active screening tester has been supplied in order to determine the phase of the power
socket (see page 13). If in doubt, please consult a qualified electrician.
6. Before you start running all components now, please check again the whole installation of
your components.
