Torus Power PIUs (Power Isolation Units) combines the best
surge
suppression
with
unique
toroidal
transformer
technologies from PLITRON to provide the ultimate in AC
power conditioning and protection for sensitive audio and
video equipment applications.
Units are available in either single 120V input, or dual 120V
(balanced) input.
Balanced input power from two standard 120V phases
provides high input power and noise cancellation. Using
balanced input power provides the benefits of symmetrical
power without the requirement to use GFCI (ground-fault
circuit interruption) outlets. GFCIs are prone to nuisance-
trips. The toroidal isolation transformer steps-down the 240V
input to 120V to power equipment. (Where 240V balanced
input is unavailable, units may be configured for 208V
operation.)
PIUs use ZeroSurge
patented series-mode surge removal
filters to absorb dangerous voltage surges and safely dissipate
them
without
using
failure-prone
MOVs
(metal
oxide
varistors). Also, unlike MOV-based protection, voltage surges
are not shunted to ground.
Isolation is combined with proven proprietary technologies
from PLITRON in the over-sized toroidal transformer. NBT
works as a low pass filter using the controlled leakage
inductance and capacitances within the transformer to cancel
common mode and differential mode noise. LoNo technology
has been used for years by high-end audio companies who
demand silent transformers. Imin technology reduces inrush
currents. UST provides additional common mode filtering
using a highly efficient Faraday screen.
Low-impedance output with balanced high-power primary
input provides the most unconstrained, yet protected, energy
source available to your equipment.

Description
Shipping Carton & Packing Material
Torus Power PIUs are extremely efficient devices, however,
they are also very high-power devices, and must be
adequately cooled.
Do not install the PIU directly above heat-generating
equipment.
Maintain at least 15cm behind the PIU for adequate wiring
space.
PIUs have ventilation slots on the base, side panels and the
cover. Maintain at least 2.5cm distance from each of these
surfaces to anything else. Should your installation conditions
be
constricted,
additional
forced
air-cooling
may
be
necessary.
Placement & Ventilation
Torus Power products are warranted to be free from
manufacturing defects for five years from the original date of
sale. This includes parts, labour and return shipping to the
first registered owner and all subsequent registered owners.
Warranty coverage is extended to applicable products
registered or having proof-of-purchase (sales invoice, etc.).
N the event of a defect or malfunction, Torus Power will
remedy the problem by repair or replacement, as we deem
necessary, to restore the product to full performance.
This warranty is considered void if the defect, malfunction or
failure of the product or any component part was caused by
damage (not resulting from a defect or malfunction) or abuse
while in the possession of the customer. Failure to fully comply
with Torus Power operating instructions, voids the warranty.

Please keep the original shipping box and all packing material.
This will ensure the PIU is protected in future transport.
In the unlikely event you have a problem and must return it for
service you must use the original packing material.
Ship the PIU only in the original packing material, as the unit is
not insurable by carriers otherwise.
