Torus Power toroidal isolation transformers dramatically improve the performance of all audio and video systems. Connect audio equipment to a Torus Power isolation transformer and it comes alive - with more dynamics, improved imaging, and cleaner, enhanced bass. Video is crisper, with darker blacks, and brighter colours.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS CAUTION! To reduce the risk of electric shock and fire, do not remove the cover of this device. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Please refer all servicing to licensed service technicians. CAUTION! The international symbol of a lightning bolt inside a triangle is intended to alert the user to uninsulated “dangerous voltage”...

Ship the unit only in the original packing material, as the unit is not insurable by carriers otherwise. Placement & Ventilation Torus Power PIUs (Power Isolation Units) are extremely efficient yet very high power devices, and must be adequately cooled.
Torus Power AVR ELITE SERIES Overview Torus Power AVR ELITE models deliver clean AC power with noise attenuation from 2 KHz to beyond 1 MHz. They provide true isolation (using large toroidal transformers) along with low source impedance and high instantaneous current for today’s most sophisticated and powerful audio amplifiers.
Front Panel Display The front panel consists of a 4 line LCD display and a pushbutton switch. Each time you push the button the display will show a different feature of the AVR ELITE. When you first turn on the AVR ELITE the System Status will appear. Each time you push the button it will change from one information screen to another.
Voltage Fault Protection If the AC voltage supplied to the AVR ELITE is too high or too low voltage (see reference chart at the end of this section) for 1 second or more, a voltage fault message is displayed and the back panel fault output is turned on.
Notes: ON at all times for series mode surge protection to be The AVR ELITE unit needs to be switched active. If the AVR ELITE and connected components will not be used for an extended period of time, it is recommended to unplug the AVR ELITE unit from main power. There is a 20-second delay built into the AVR ELITE system, to prevent nuisance switching.
• Each zone can be scheduled to turn ON or OFF at any time or day of the week. • Each zone can also be individually turned ON or OFF through the local web browser interface or Torus Power Connect account •...
Ethernet Allows access to the AVR ELITE and internal software via a local web browser interface (See AVR ELITE software section for more details) or Torus Power Connect service (see Torus Power Connect section). USB 2.0 Port For charging and external control (future) 12VDC Trigger On/Off The AVR ELITE can be turned on and off by a 12 volt trigger input.
AVR ELITE Embedded Software The AVR ELITE local area network web browser interface is resident in the microprocessor on the internal control board. There are two methods to access the software. Connect the AVR ELITE Ethernet port to a local network port and open a web browser on a PC that is connected to the same local network.
AVR ELITE Menu Selections System Status This screen indicates the overall status of the system, showing Voltage In, Voltage Out, Current Out, Power Consumption and Active Zones. It also reports if the system is functioning normally or whether there is a fault condition. (No password required to monitor status) Switch Main Power This screen allows ON/OFF control of the AVR...
