Need help?Do you have a question about the PS Audio Power Plant P1000 and is the answer not in the manual?
General| THD | <0.5% |
|---|---|
| Type | Power Regenerator |
| Output Power | 1000W |
| Continuous Power | 1000W |
| Frequency | 50Hz or 60Hz (user selectable) |
| Waveform | Sine Wave |
| Input Frequency Range | 47-63Hz |
The P1000 comes from the factory with standard default settings that should work well for most situations.
One Power Port duplex receptacle provides two outlets for filtered AC. The filtered AC zone will pass as much current as a 15 amp wall receptacle can provide, up to 1800 watts.
The P1000 comes equipped with a built in PS Bus. The PS Bus allows other PS Audio products to communicate via standard RJ11 'twisted end' crossover cable.
The main fuse is a 15 Amp slow blow. The protection fuse is a 1 Amp fast blow. Both can be removed by inserting a flat device into the fuse holder.
15 Amp IEC standard male socket.
Four Power Port duplex receptacles provide eight outlets for regenerated AC. The Regenerated AC zone will produce up to 1000 watts peak power.
The power button will activate the front panel display and output AC power to the Regenerated AC zones.
The Mode Up and Mode Down buttons cycle through the available display modes.
The Edit Up and Edit Down buttons cycle through the available options within each display mode.
This mode will display the name of the waveform presently being delivered through the Regenerated AC outlets.
This mode will display the frequency the P1000 is generating, while in SINE mode.
This mode will display the output voltage of the Power Plant at the Regenerated AC outlets.
If the P1000 exceeds safe operating temperature the front panel display will flash 'HOT!'
If equipment draws current over 100% for more than 3 seconds, or over 200% for any amount of time, the display will flash the over current percentage.
If the P1000 detects an electrical short either internal or external the front panel display will flash 'SHORT'.
If there is any other type of operational error the P1000 will flash 'FAULT' in the display.
In all of these situations the Regenerated AC outlets will not produce power, however, the Filtered AC outlets will continue to pass power.
This mode will display the current version of the P1000 operation software.
If more than one piece of PS Audio equipment is used in a system, then each piece connected to the PS Bus must have a unique Network Address.
It is possible to assign the P1000 to a unique Network Group. There are 3 possible groups which can be selected.
The Network Power setting will alter which PS products will be affected by the power status of the P1000.
If at any time it is necessary to reset all of parameters of the P1000 to their default settings, it can be done by pressing the Edit Up/Down button twice.
In the SineWave mode the Power Plant will generate a perfect SineWave (50-120Hz).
TubeWave is specifically designed to optimize the performance of tube based audio products.
MultiWave1 is a single 60Hz SineWave with a minute amount of 3rd Harmonic Sine Waves mixed together.
MultiWave2 is a 60Hz SineWave that incorporates a pseudorandom collection of frequencies which are dithered from 55-65Hz.
MultiWave3 is a combination of Multiwave1 with a slight degree of 3rd harmonic addition.
MultiWave4 is full combination of MultiWave1 and MultiWave2. It generates a pseudorandom collection of frequencies.
Any turntable or equipment with AC synchronous fans should not be used with MultiWave II or AutoWave.
Check connections, outlet, and main fuse. Ensure unit is plugged in and power button is pressed.
Check the Protection Fuse. Unplug the unit, remove the fuse, check conductivity, and replace if necessary.
Check for thermal shutdown due to inadequate airflow or high room temperature. Unit will auto-restart.
Indicates internal temperature exceeds safe operating limits. Unit will not power up during cooldown.
Indicates an over-current condition. Unit powers down or displays over-current amount.
Detects an electrical short. Unit powers itself off and flashes 'SHORT'.
Indicates a general hardware or software error. Unit powers itself off and flashes 'FAULT'.
PS Audio's warranty is 3 years parts and labor, from the date of original purchase. The warranty follows the product itself.
Warranty service should normally be obtained from the importing retailer or distributor from whom you purchased the product.
Contact your dealer or PS Audio distributor for service. No equipment will be received without an attached RA number.
