  • Page 6: Shipping Carton & Packing Material

    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.
  • Page 7: Torus Power Avr Elite Series Overview

    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.
  • Page 8: Front Panel Display

    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.
  • Page 9: Voltage Fault Protection

    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.
  • Page 10: Notes

    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.
