Dear customer, thank you for purchasing the POWERGRIP YG-3 Clean Power Console. You have purchased a power unit with excellent filtering quality, a high level of protection and rich control functionality. Before you start using the console, we strongly recommend that you read this manual through to the end. This information will allow you to fully use all the features of the power console and increase the performance of your system.
Safety Instructions • Connect the POWERGRIP Console directly to a stationary grounded power outlet. Do not connect with an extension cord, power distribution unit, UPS, protection device or voltage stabilizer unless approved by the manufacturer. • Do not expose the unit to moisture. Use indoors only.

Can operate as RS232 input (see www.powergrip.com for more information). Output is to control 3rd party devices.
‘always ON’. <Amb.Light> -Activation with illumination of YG-3. The Threshold can be set in the ‘Display’ section of menu. ‘OFF Threshold’ controls the level of activation. In case the display is set to auto option, when the display is turned off/on this function will trigger as well.

Display: Brightness -Display Brightness level. Auto -automatic brightness by light sensor. Аuto2 -same with less light to brightness response. 0...10 -static value. OFF Threshold -illumination level (conventional units) at which display turns on in auto mode. This setting also controls turn on by brightness function. 0...18 -more value needs more illumination to turn on display.

Filtering Hi-Fi High Current filter section: This is designed for Hi-Fi devices and high-power amplifiers and features a special design with low output impedance to reduce device to device interference. Wide cooper traces provide current to amplifiers without limitation. Because the filter construction avoids any resonances this filter can do filtering in the audio range without adding distortion and additional noise.

If grounding doesn’t exist, or the power line does not comply with TN standard this function is not available. In this case you need to connect YG-3 as shown on diagram 13 by using a phase detecting tool. Antenna grounding connector In case an antenna is used in your system it is important to use the supplied antenna grounding cable.
Specification: 1) Voltage range for safe continuous operation of YG-3 PSU: 160-320 V. 2) Protection voltage range (turn off connected devices): low - 190V, high - 256V. (May be influenced by other parameters like mains distortion to provide best protection and exclude false...
