interface for Zone A, which is the name of the first two of eight total output receptacles (four total for
all products marked UK, GR, and AU) on the back of the Power Plant 5. Zone A, along with each
other zone, allows four different parameters to be set.
Naming output receptacle #1
, Zones can be named by accessing the online interface once a
network connection has been established and the Power Plant 5 is accessed over the network
via the unit’s IP Address. For more networking information, please see the section under Getting
Started: NETWORK CONNECTIVITY.
Naming output receptacle #2
, Zone A: Here precisely the same methods will be used as found in
#1, and precisely the same usage suggestions will apply.
Delay Mode
: The Power Plant 5 allows for six different power sequencing options. The default
setting for all four zones is SWITCHED. All of these selections are only activated by the front-panel
power button. It is important to make the distinction between the Power Plant 5’s back-panel power
switch, which mechanically cuts incoming AC to the unit and is known as the “hard” power switch,
and the front-panel power button which illuminates blue when activated, and functions to carry out
the settings that are described below.
1.
SWITCHED: As the front-panel power button is engaged, any zone set to SWITCHED will
power up with no delay, and power down with a three-second delay.
2.
DELAYED: As the front-panel power button is engaged, any zone set to DELAYED will
power up with a three-second delay, and power down with a zero-second delay.
3.
PROGRAMMED: As the front-panel power button is engaged, any zone set to
will power up with a delay in the number of seconds desired, as well as
power down with a delay in the number of seconds desired.
4.
REBOOT: As the front-panel power button is powered down, any zone set to REBOOT
will power down accordingly, and will after a three-second delay power back on.
5.
AUTO-REBOOT: If your Power Plant 5 is connected to the network, and if the network’s
router is being powered by the Power Plant 5, you may want to set that zone to AUTO-
REBOOT. At this setting, the Power Plant 5 will use the router and the network to PING
the PS Audio Server, essentially saying “hello, I’m an active network device and the
router is working.” If the PING does not reach our server after several tries, the Power
Plant 5 will assume that the router has frozen up, and will automatically reboot that zone,
thereby resetting the router and restoring connectivity. One may wish to power the
network’s modem on this zone as well, for the same reason.
6.
ALWAYS ON: In this setting, the P5 will output power from this zone regardless of
whether the front-panel power button is engaged. As long as the Power Plant 5 is
plugged in and the back-panel power switch is flipped, any zone set to ALWAYS ON will
output regulated, regenerated AC power.
Note
that pressing the Next button will take you from control parameters for Zone A to the
parameters for Zone B, C, and D respectively. All Zone setting can be made with the same
instructions and suggestions as described above for Zone A.
