GENERAL DATA
GENERAL DATA
POWERGRIP YG-2 power console is intended for connected equip-
ment protection against overvoltage, power surges and network
interference of various kinds.
Due to a great number of digital power modules in the network there
is a large amount of high-frequency interference which disturbs the
operation of devices with traditional power modules. In POWER-
GRIP console different types of filters are used which enable isola-
tion of devices preventing their undesirable influence on each
other, as well as help avoid interference produced by the network.
Filters ensure minimum harmonic distortion and are able to gate
through large current impulses, unlike traditional power filters.
Switching relays operate using Zero cross technology: switching on
and off the load is performed while crossing zero point supply
voltage by the sinusoidal wave. Thanks to it, soft switch on and off
even of the most high-capacity energy users is provided.
Protection system consists of three levels:
• The first level includes the filters for absorption of interference
and minor surges.
• The second level includes varistors absorbing heavy voltage
surges in the network.
• The third level deenergizes the console in case the voltage devi-
ation in the network exceeds the permissible level.
Besides, POWERGRIP console is equipped with self-diagnostics
system. In case of failure connected equipment will be deener-
gized, and blinking indicators will inform the user of the arisen
defects.

APPEARANCE AND CONTROLS
APPEARANCE AND CONTROLS
FRONT PANEL
1. Power ON/OFF button controls switching on and off of the
group of outlets. Its readings may differ from other measuring
devices
2. Voltmeter displays a current value of voltage in the mains line.
3. The group indicator shows groups of outlets active at the
moment.
4. Correct switching indicator lights up in case of correct plug-
ging of equipment in the outlet. Phase of the outlet must be on
the left while the power cable is directed downwards. If the
indicator does not light up, turn the plug in the outlet. If the
indicator does not light up regardless of the plug position it
means that the outlet is not grounded. Consult a competent elec-
trician to remedy this problem.
5. By means of touch-screen the light intensity of the screen can
be adjusted and switching the groups by touch.

6. Phase position in an outlet is marked by a dot with a lighted
indicator of correct switching (4).
7. Number of outlet group.
8. Filter type of a given outlet group. The console is equipped
with different types of filters (see the «Equipment connection»
section).
9. Trigger signals input is intended for switching on and off the
console by the signal from another device. RS232 signal trans-
mission by means of an adapter is possible (not included in the
delivery package).

10. Ground terminal is designed for optional grounding of devic-
es.

EQUIPMENT CONNECTION
EQUIPMENT CONNECTION
In POWERGRIP console outlets different types of filters are used,
which allow to achieve the best results for certain equipment.
For connecting equipment with digital power modules a multi-level
filter is provided designated as DIGITAL (used in the first and
second group of outlets). Generally, digital power modules are
used in DVD and Blu ray players, satellite tuners and remote units
(adapters). It is recommended to connect these devices to the
outlets of the first or the second group, thus providing reliable seg-
regation of the interference emitted by digital power modules. If you
are not able to determine what kind of power module is used in the
equipment, consult the manufacturer.
The filters marked as ANALOG and HIGH CURRENT are intended
for equipment with traditional power modules. These filters ensure
the most accurate power transmission to devices’ power transform-
ers and help eliminate interference from the power supply network
effectively. These filters are effective both with traditional power
modules of a small consumption (used in CD-players) and
high-power toroidal transformers of terminal amplifiers.

SAFETY RULES
SAFETY RULES
POWERGRIP power console should be connected directly to the
stationary grounded outlet of the power network. Do not connect
console in parallel (i.e. daisy chain connection) to other electrical
devices, such as power supply protection devices, power filters or
UPS. Do not use extension cords or T-connectors. Non-compliance
with these requirements may cause injuries or equipment damage,
which will automatically incur warranty termination. If you are not
sure which power outlet is duly grounded, consult a competent elec-
trician.
Although POWERGRIP console is intended for considerable current
surges, it is recommended to unplug the device in case of heavy
thunderstorm. To disconnect the equipment connected to the con-
sole is not necessary.
Avoid water ingress in the console or the housing. In case of water
ingress disconnect the console from the power outlet. Use the
device only idoors. Do not use the console in the rooms with high
humidity.
In case any problems in console operation or its complete damage
may occur, do not try to remedy them unassisted. It may cause
serious injuries or death. Do not dissemble the console. This will
automatically incur warranty termination. Disconnect the console
from the network immediately and contact autorized . The manufac-
turer is not liable for console functioning and reparation of unauthor-
ized interference effects if the maintenance was performed in an
uncertified service center.

CONTROL VIA SENSOR
CONTROL VIA SENSOR
The sensor is located in the bar under the digital indicator.
There are 3 types of sensor action (for sensor activation it is neces-
sary to fix the action for approximately one second):
1 To change the brightness bring the hand close to the screen
(10 – 15 mm).
2 Light touch with one finger. The action is assigned via the
menu.
3 Light touch with two fingers activates the second group; it
can be deactivated via the menu.
Do not apply too much pressure to the panel – it may cause
damage! Only light touch is needed for sensor operation.
In case of sensor activation incorrect recognizing of action is
possible which may cause unwanted tripping of the controlled
group!

CONFIGURATION MENU
CONFIGURATION MENU
To enter configuration menu, disconnect the console from the
power outlet, wait for the screen to blink off, plug the console into
the outlet with pressed power button.
Short pressing of power button enables to change the settings of
the selected menu item, prolonged pressing moves you to the next
menu item.
Menu items:
oN Selection of permanently operating outlet groups. From 1
to 3 in succession. Blue group indicator means that the
group will be operating permanently, red is switched off by
power button. For full disconnection of the console hold
the power button for some time with switched off automatic
restarting.
ES Automatic restarting of permanently operating outlets after
protection activation. This menu item is accessible only
when at least one permanently operating group of
outlets is chosen. Blue group indicator means that the func-
tion for the group is active, red is inactive.
Xx Selection of delays, where xx is time in seconds. Delay is
set for the group marked by indicator 3. If the indicator is
blue, delay is set before switching on the group, if it is red,
after switching off the selected group.
BH The first stage of brightness.
B The second stage of brightness.
Switching between the selected brightness stages
during the setting is done by bringing the hand close
to the touch pad. Touch pad in menu mode is not
active.

end.
MEASUREMENT MODE
To switch to measurement mode, the fourth sensor mode should be
chosen in the menu (see configuration menu), and then, by touch-
ing the screen with one finger in the operating mode one can
change the displayed information.
Three types of values are displayed:
1. Supply voltage
2. .ХХ – supplying network frequency deviation by one and
two decimal places of 50 Hz. It characterizes the power
plant workload.
3. H00 – percent of sinusoid cut. It closely matches harmonic
distortions of sinusoidal wave in the network. It characteriz-
es the electrical wiring workload.
