PureAV Isolator
Features
The PureAV Isolator comes with three Diagnostic Indicators, plus an Amber Master
Switch light. When you plug the unit into a live, 230V AC 50Hz outlet, these lights
let you know that protection is activated and warn of a power problem before you
connect your equipment.
Protection (Yellow) indicates your surge protection is functioning properly.
Line OK (Green) indicates line integrity.
Line Fault (Red) indicates wall outlet in use has existing ground fault, or is
improperly wired.
Protection (Yellow): This light should come on when the unit’s power switch is
turned to the “ON” position. If this light goes out at any time, it means that your
surge protector has “sacrificed itself” to protect your equipment and should be
replaced. Please contact Belkin Corporation for a free surge protector replacement.
Line OK (Green): This light should also come on when the power switch is turned
on. It shows that 230V AC power is present with no wiring faults and it is safe to
plug and use connected equipment.
Line Fault (Red): If on, this light indicates that a wiring fault has been detected.
This may be the result of a lack of grounding or reversed phases, among other
problems. A qualified electrician should be notified so that the problem can be
corrected before plugging in devices.
Master (Amber): This on/off switch provides a built-in, automatic shutdown,
16-Amp circuit breaker. The light should come on when the unit is plugged into a
230V AC 50Hz socket and switched to the “ON” position. Important: If the current
draw exceeds 16 Amps for an elongated period of time, the circuit breaker will shut
down the surge protector power to prevent damage. Allow a brief time for the
Isolator to cool before resetting the circuit breaker switch. (To reset, simply press the
switch.)
Isolator Technology: As mentioned earlier, this design prevents devices that are
plugged into a given receptacle bank from transferring contamination to a device
plugged into another receptacle bank. Each pair of receptacle banks is isolated from
the other pairs within the PureAV Isolator. (The 8-socket PureAV Isolator has 4 pairs
of PFT receptacle banks.)
The PureAV Isolator provides increasing levels of protection and filtration from
surges, spikes, lightning strikes, and EMI/RFI. When AC power travels from the wall
socket and throughout each successive pair of receptacle banks, each power filter or
“graduating filtration” level increases the isolation, filtration, and protection for your
most sensitive devices. The higher receptacle banks (farthest from the power switch)
will provide a greater amount of surge and line-noise protection than the first
receptacle bank or the bank labeled “High Current Filter”. The “High Current Filter”
is designed to deliver the maximum current with the minimal filtration required by
amplifiers and powered subwoofers.
