PS Audio Power Director 4.7, Руководство по эксплуатации

Default settings
The Power Director comes from the factory with
standard default settings that should work well for
most situations.
You can return to the default settings at any time
by depressing the Power button and the Mode Up
button at the same time. Hold these two buttons
down for approximately three seconds, until the
display blinks indicating the default settings have
been restored.
Front panel controls
There are five buttons on the front panel of the
Power Director 4.7.
1. Power
2. Mode Down
3. Mode Up
4. Edit Down
5. Edit Up
Power On/Off
The power button will activate the front panel dis-
play and output AC power to any of the four zones
that are set to the delayed (DL) or switched (SW)
position on the rear panel.
Note: any zone whose corresponding rear panel switch is
in the “ON” position will continue to pass power even if the
director is switched off.
Mode
The Mode Up and Mode Down buttons cycle
through the available display modes.
Edit
The Edit Up and Edit Down buttons cycle through
the available options within each display mode.
Display Modes
There are six available modes to display on the
front panel of the Power Director 4.7. The Mode
Up and Mode Down buttons cycle you through the
following six modes:
1. Voltage
(labeled Volts)
2. Amperage
(labeled Amps)
3. Wattage
(labeled Watts)
4. Power Factor
(labeled PF)
5. Setup Display Modes
6. Display blanking
Voltage
The default display mode indicates line voltage
that is being fed into, and subsequently out of the
Power Director 4.7. The voltage reading typically
has a +/- 0.5% accuracy.
You may note that your line voltage goes up and
down throughout the course of the day and night.
This is not desirable, but it is normal. The addi-
tion of a PS Audio Power Plant to the input of the
Power Director will eliminate this problem.
Amperage
Amperage is a measurement of current. This fea-
ture displays in real time approximately how much
current your equipment is using. The Director is
capable of either 15 or 20 amps, depending on
its input power connector (15 or 20 Amp IEC) and
the AC source (15 or 20 Amp circuit).
Wattage
This mode will display a close approximation
of the wattage that is delivered to the load. For
example, if the display reads 100 then you are
delivering 100 watts to your equipment. The watt-
age meter will show the total wattage for all four
zones combined.
Power Factor
Power factor is a measure of how efficiently a
device is drawing power from the wall. A purely
resistive load, like a light bulb (or a heater or
toaster) draws current that is identical in shape
and phase to the sine wave of the AC voltage.
This has a power factor of “1.”
Most electronic equipment, such as a power
