Helios AS-P-601 User manual

AS-P-601 - Power Solution 1000 8 Outlet Surge Protector.
Description:
The AS-P-601 Power Solution 1000 offers 2160-joule surge suppression with a 15A circuit breaker to protect
against dangerous system overload. Using four kinds of filter circuitry to isolate and protect audio, video, digital
and high current equipment, the Power Solution 1000 provides overload protection with a 120V/15A electrical
rating. Use the front panel LCD display to monitor voltage and amperage levels. Overload protection acts like an
additional circuit breaker, shutting down the unit and connected equipment in the event of a catastrophic surge.
This system is built to last with sturdy metal housing, and is UL approved.
EMI/RFI Shielding
EMI/RFI line noise filtering helps components perform safely at their peak, while 3 built in Isolated Filter Banks
(Analog, Digital, High Current) eliminate interference between connected components.
Remote 12V DC Trigger Operation
The Power Solution 1000 can be controlled remotely by another power solution equipped with a remote trigger
out feature.
Remote AC Operation
The Remote AC function on enables you to turn your Power Solution on or off using a preamplifier or receiver
equipped with a switched AC power outlet, providing one-touch power control over all components.

replace, atits option, any defective unit.
Caution: Helios® surge suppressors have LED indicators that show their surge protection status. An illuminated
LED indicates that the unit isproviding surge protection. Due tothe frequency and severity of electrical storms in
some areas ofthe country, the consumer should visually check the indicators periodically to make sure that
cumulative surges have not overwhelmed the unit’s protection capabilities.
Conditions and Limitations:
1. Proof of purchase is required (i.e. the sales receipt of other proof of payment)
2. Damage caused by accidents, abuse, misuse ormodification ofthe surge suppressor will render this warranty null
and void.
3. Transient Voltage Surge Suppression devices using MOV (Metal Oxide Varistor) technology are designed to
sacrifice themselves in order toprotect the connected equipment. The proper functioning ofthis surge suppressor
during a catastrophic surge event like lightning may result inthe depletion ofthe units protection capabilities. This
is not a defect indesign, material orworkmanship. Therefore, ifthe unitisknown to have been active during
lightning strikes over a period oftime, the unit may nolonger perform toits full capacity. It isdesigned for
infrequent surges. Ifthere are multiple storms orcatastrophic events such as a hurricane, tornado, etc., and the
consumer haswarning ofthe impending event, all electrical equipment and connections that generate any flow of
electricity should be disconnected for the safety of the home, the consumer and the products.
