Remove from packaging.
The Power Plant will arrive in a single
container that is made of three ele-
ments: an outer shipping carton, an
inner shipping carton, and a protective
sleeve.
Be certain to save all packing material
in case you ever need to ship the
Power Plant back to us.
Position the Power Plant.
The P300 is rather easy to locate
appropriately; the P600, P1200 and
P2000 models may be more difficult.
P300.
The P300 was designed, primarily, for
low-powered items such as CD players,
preamplifiers, DAC's, video processors,
and so forth. It was not designed to
power anything greater than a 50 watt
per channel power amplifier, or integrat-
ed, or receiver.
Place the P300 in a reasonably well-
ventilated area, close to the low-level
items you intend to power. In many
applications this will be on a shelf
alongside your other equipment. It may
also be placed inside a cabinet, if that is
more convenient. In other instances,
you may wish to place the Power Plant
on the floor, behind your equipment.
It is permissible to leave the Power
Plant switched on continuously.
P600, P1200, P2000.
These larger units were designed
with two purposes in mind: power-
ing small to large power amplifiers
and/or other lower power units at
the same time. If you wish to use
the P1200, the P600 or the P2000
to operate both a power amplifier(s)
and a number of lower power units
simultaneously, it is advisable to
purchase the PS Audio Extension
Link. The Extension Link provides
an additional eight hospital grade
outlets, and it allows you to place
the Power Plant near the power
amplifier and to use the Extension
Link to remotely power your other
equipment.
Do not place these larger units inside a
cabinet, unless it is extremely well venti-
lated. The P600, P1200 and P2000
produce a great deal of heat.
It is not advisable to use an extension
cord for a power amplifier, unless it has
at least a 12-gauge cord.
Adjust the voltage to match
your country's standard.
The Power Plants are shipped ready to
operate on 120 volts AC. This voltage
is the standard in most of North
America, Canada, Taiwan, and parts of
South America. Most of the rest of the
world is running on 220 volts AC to 240
volts AC. If you live in North America,
Canada, or Taiwan, there is nothing to
change.
If you live in Europe, mainland Asia,
Australia or a part of South America
that runs on 220 volts AC, you must first
change the voltage to the appropriate
level to match your country's standard.
To change the input voltage,
nect the Power Plant from the wall
socket first!
Next, on the PS Audio
P300 Power Plant, remove the bottom
plate; on the P600, P1200, or P2000,
remove the top plate.
Locate the voltage change switch.
Move the switch to the appropriate volt-
age.
Note for P2000
owners: you must
have at least a 20-amp, 120-volt AC
dedicated circuit available for the
P2000, preferably a 30-amp circuit. If a
220-volt AC line is available, this would
be even better. Contact PS Audio cus-
tomer service, or your dealer or distribu-
tor, if you have any questions.
Choose a power cord.
The power cord used to operate the
Power Plant, as well as the power cords
that connect up each piece of equip-
ment, are important elements in your
quest for great performance.
