Oehlbach 909 Mode D'emploi page 10

ENG I User manual
Cleaning
Before cleaning the Powerstation disconnect the mains plug.
The Powerstation should only be dusted. Do not use any liquid
cleaners or sprays.
Initial operation
Connect the supplied power cord to the Oehlbach XXL
Powerstation 909 and insert the mains plug into a wall outlet.
The multi-socket outlet can now be activated via the POWER1
switch. POWER2 switches the second socket group.
The Oehlbach XXL Powerstation 909 features four unfiltered
"analogue" and four filtered "digital" sockets. The unfiltered
sockets are designated with „PURE ANALOG" and the filtered
sockets are designated with „DIGITAL FILTER".
Connecting digital devices
Digital devices can react extremely sensitively to disturbing
pulses and sometimes even produce high-frequency
interfering signals. Therefore, make sure you connect all digital
devices (e.g. DVD/BluRay player, HDD recorder, PC,
etc.) to the digital sockets on the power strip. These
sockets are designated with "DIGITAL FILTER". Devices
connected to these sockets are protected by an
efficient filter against all disturbing pulses that arrive via the
mains supply. This switching circuit also eliminates inter-
ference caused by the connected devices themselves.
Furthermore, a delay function ensures these sockets are
switched with a 2 second delay. This provides protection
against current surges for sensitive hi-fi equipment.
Connecting analogue devices
Connect all analogue devices such as a tuner, record player,
tape deck or amplifier to the „analogue" sockets ("PURE
ANALOG"). The XXL Powerstation 909 uses these sockets
to provide unfiltered current for all analogue devices and
sufficient reserves for a permanent, stable power supply at all
times, even in the event of high power requirements.
Polarity control
An in-phase connection of all devices will guarantee the best
possible, unadulterated sound. This is the only way to ensure
that potential equalisation currents, which have a negative
impact on the sound, are effectively avoided. The POLARITY
light indicates that the red sockets are connected in-phase (L).
If the polarity light does not illuminate, switch off the power
supply, remove the mains plug from the wall socket, turn it
around around 180° and plug it in again. The polarity LED now
illuminates and the phase designation on the individual sockets
correctly designates the phase. To proof the correct in-phase
connection of your HIFI-device, you should use the Oehlbach
Phaser (Art.No. 17017). All end devices can now be connected
in-phase accordingly.
Surge protection
If the surge protection function of the XXL Powerstation 909
is triggered as a result of extreme voltage peaks, the eight
sockets (and all of the connected devices) are disconnected
from the mains. The Powerstation can be used again by
pressing the RESET button.
Correct operation of the active surge protection function is
indicated by the PROTECTED light.
