Hookup and Installation PureAV Power Console Step 1 (optional) Mounting your Power Console The PureAV Power Console can be mounted to a standard AV equipment rack or inside a cabinet equipped with an equipment rack. A. Remove the brackets and mounting screws from the box. B. Make sure that the Power Console is unplugged. C. Align the bracket with the front of the Power Console for flush installation in the rack. D. Attach the bracket to the side of the Power Console with the screws provided (Fig. 1).
Hookup and Installation Each outlet bank on the rear panel of the Power Console is programmable. Using the slide switches on the rear panel, you can program the outlets for switched or unswitched, and for delay or always-on (no delay) (Fig. 2). You can also determine the length of the delay (5, 10, or 15 seconds). A. Outlet Banks Always-On (unswitched): For components that need to retain memory or other settings (DVRs, satellite receivers, VCRs), set the top slide switch to “Always ON” (Fig. 2a).
Hookup and Installation PureAV Power Console E. Trigger Out: The trigger out function gives you the ability to control an external device equipped with a remote trigger such as a retractable movie screen when the Power Console is switched on. The 12-volt DC OUT port accepts a 1/8” mini plug cable. Set the “Trigger Out” switch to “Delayed” and the Trigger Out will power an external device after a delay set by the Delay Time Switch (Fig. 2e).
Hookup and Installation This function allows you to turn your Power Console on and off via your preamplifier or receiver equipped with a switched AC power outlet. Note: You cannot turn off the switched outlets on the Power Console with the switched button on the front of the unit when there is any external power signal supplied to either the AC or DC remote inputs. To install the Remote AC Control Cable: PureAV Power Console Step 3 Remote AC Operation A.
Hookup and Installation PureAV Power Console Step 4 Remote DC Operation This function allows you to turn your Power Console on and off via any component that is equipped with a 3~30V DC output (low-voltage trigger out). Note: You cannot turn off the switched outlets on the Power Console with the switched button on the front of the unit when there is any external power signal supplied to either the AC or DC remote inputs. To install the Remote DC Control Cable: A.
Hookup and Installation The PureAV Power Console PF60 contains two isolated digital filters that are optimized to clean and condition the power to all of your digital components. The digital filters also filter out noise created by digital components such as DVD players and isolate your digital components from connected video, audio, and high-current audio components. A.
Hookup and Installation PureAV Power Console Step 6 Connect Video Components to the Video Filter (Bank 03) The PureAV Power Console PF60 contains an isolated video filter that is optimized to clean and condition the power to all of your video components. The video filter also isolates your video components from connected digital, audio, and high-current audio components. A.
Hookup and Installation Step 7 Connect Audio Components to Audio Filter 1 and Audio Filter 2 (Bank 04 and Bank 05) The PureAV Power Console PF60 contains two isolated audio filters that are optimized to clean and condition the power to all of your audio components. The audio filters also isolate your audio components from connected digital, video, and high-current audio components. A.
Hookup and Installation PureAV Power Console Step 8 Connect High-Current Audio Filter (Bank 06) This outlet is specifically designed to filter out AC line noise while delivering maximum current to power-hungry amplifiers and other high-current audio components. These outlets should be programmed for "Delay". This allows your high-current amplifiers to turn on last and turn off first, avoiding that annoying, and potentially damaging "thump" from getting to your speakers. A.
Hookup and Installation Step 9 Connect your Pay-Per-View/Phone Line Your PureAV Power Console comes equipped with Pay-Per-View/phone-line protection with a built-in splitter. These are standard RJ11 phone jacks and are labeled “Phone”. A. Connect one end of your telephone cable to the wall outlet to which you normally connect your phone line.

Troubleshooting Power Console is not providing power PureAV Power Console • Check to ensure that the Power Console is plugged into a properly grounded AC wall outlet. Some outlets require a wall switch to be turned on in order to deliver power to the outlet. • Too many devices may be plugged into the Power Console, which are overloading the unit and tripping the overload circuit breaker. The Power Console is not designed to handle current loads larger than 15 Amps or 1800 watts.
Troubleshooting Ground Fault indicator is lit • Check to make sure that the Power Console is plugged into a grounded AC wall outlet. (3-prong AC outlets only. Do not use 2–3-prong adapters.) • If the “Ground Fault” indicator is still lit, you have a ground-wiring problem. Connecting the PureAV Power Console to an improperly grounded outlet is not safe and will void all Belkin Corporation warranties. Unplug the Power Console and consult an electrician to properly ground the outlet.
