Fault Mode
If the PS Audio LED Logo button is rapidly flashing blue, your Stellar PowerPlant 3 has
detected an error and entered into fault mode, disabling all outputs. When in fault mode,
the status of the other LEDs on the front panel will help indicate what error the unit has
detected.

than the P3's capability, remove all cables that are plugged into the unit's outputs, power
cycle your PowerPlant, and begin reconnecting your equipment, one at a time. In order for

For this reason, you will have to allow each connected component to run for at least 30
seconds before connecting any other components.

protection. This means that the PowerPlant has detected a short in one of your connected
components. To find the shorted component, start by removing all cables plugged into
the P3's outputs, and power cycle the unit. You may then begin reconnecting your
equipment, one at a time. Your PowerPlant will enter into fault mode as soon as the
shorted device is reconnected.
