Acoustic Research PW100 - Manual (Page 3)


Indicator Lights
• “Protected” indicator-The protected indicator on your power
conditioner should be on when the power switch is turned on. If
this indicator goes out and the power light is on, it means your
power conditioner has sacrificed itself to protect your equipment
and should be replaced.
• “Grounded” indicator-The grounded indicator on your power
conditioner should be on when the power switch is turned on. If
the light does not come on when you turn on the power conditioner,
a ground wiring problem may exist and you should contact an
electrician to properly ground the outlet. Connecting your
power conditioner to an improperly grounded
outlet will void all Thomson warranties.
• “Volts” indicator (available on PW101 only)-The voltage indicator
tells you the number of volts coming from the outlet you’ve plugged
the power conditioner into.

Connecting Equipment To Your
Acoustic Research Power Conditioner
with Surge Suppression
1. Plug the power conditioner into a grounded outlet.
2. Plug all connected equipment directly into the power conditioner.
Note: Power plugs can be heavy and may cause the conditioner
to tip backwards slightly. If this happens, pull out the extending
arm on the left size of the conditioner’s back panel. This arm
stabilizes the unit.
3. Turn on the power conditioner. The LED will illuminate when the unit is
powered on. Your power conditioner provides maximum surge
protection even if the power switch is in the off position.
1. Connect the
Phone/Fax/
Modem line from
your wall outlet to
the INPUT jack on
the power
conditioner.
2. Connect a second
phone cord into
the OUTPUT jack
on the power
conditioner.
Pass the phone/fax/modem connection through the jacks on your power
conditioner as illustrated.
Pass the coaxial cable connection through the protected coaxial jacks
on your power conditioner. Most TV/VCR/Satellite receiver damage
can be prevented if you connect the coaxial cable through the power
conditioner.
