About the PurePower APS
The PurePower Audio Power Supply
The PurePower Audio Power Supply (APS) provides pure regenerated power for your sensitive
home theater and audio equipment. This is accomplished through our double conversion technol-
ogy. We convert the incoming AC power to produce a clean DC supply, then recreate a new AC
wave form with propper voltage and frequency from the DC. We make sure that your system gets
the power it was designed for and your amplifiers get the current they need for top performance.
The APS also protects from power disturbances including power sags, power surges, over-
voltages, line noise, undervoltages, frequency variations, switching transients and harmonic dis-
tortion. Power disturbances have the potential to damage sensitive hardware causing expensive
repairs with either catastrophic failures or degradation over time through chronic overheating.
With the APS you can safely eliminate the effects of power disturbances and guard the integrity
of your equipment.
In addition to pure power, the APS provides you with something unique in audio power
regenerators - protection against power outage. The APS maintains full wattage output even
when the power fails completely.
Providing outstanding performance and reliability, the
PurePower’s unique benefits include the following:
• True double conversion AC regeneration design with pure sine wave output. The APS filters
and regulates incoming AC power, creates a DC source, then regenerates new pure AC and
provides monitored, consistent power to your components.
• The APS improves amplifier performance by ensuring full wattage and improves signal
component output quality by removing noise and distortion.
• The PurePower APS design allows any of our high quality, full contact receptacles
to supply digital, analog or amplifier components.
• Hours of extended viewing or listening time with optional APS PowerPack Modules
during outages.
• Built in line surge protection guards against spikes and surges on coax, RJ11and RJ45 lines.
•
USB communiction port allows the APS to be integrated into whole home systems.

Installation
APS Preparation
The APS is designed for flexible configurations and can be rack mounted or placed on a shelf or
as a standalone cabinet.
Standalone / shelf component
When you position the APS horizontally on a shelf or in a non-rack style AV equipment stand or
enclosure, ensure there is sufficient clearance for unimpeded airflow through the grilles at front
and rear of the unit.
Rack-Mount
The APS can be installed in 19 or 23-inch racks and needs only 2U of rack space for 700 adn
1050 models, 3U for the 2000. Mounting rails or a rack shelf are recommended.
Place the APS on a flat, stable surface with the front of the APS facing toward you.
Attach the mounting handles to the bracket with the screws provided in the accessory kit.
If installing optional PowerPacks, install rack handles for each unit.
NOTE The PowerPacks must be installed
BELOW
the APS.

Connections
The PurePower APS 700 and 1050 provide
8
Hubbell NEMA 5-15 output receptacles that may
be used interchangeably to power signal components, video components or ampli
fiers. The 2000
provides 10 Hubbell 5-15 receptacles
.
Surge protection connectors
The PurePower unit provides
built in surge protection to isolat
e system components such as cable
television, satellite, ethernet and teleph
one lines from your AV system.
The surge protection is not provided specifically to protect satellite receivers, computer network
and telephone equipment from damage from surges -- although it does that task admirabl
y. The
main purpose
is to
prevent satellite or cable TV coax cables, telephone and ethernet lines from
providing a path that would allow surges or spikes to damage your AV system that is otherwise
isolated from surg
es arising in the
AC power lines by the PurePower A
PS.
It is
intended to prevent
a back door attack that would circumvent the PurePower protection.
All surge modules provide instantaneous response using advanced silicon avalanche diodes with
the ability to safely dissipate surge currents of up to 1kA and auto reset in readiness for any sub-
sequent surge or transient voltage.

Activating your PurePower APS
The following steps explain how to install and start the APS.
Activating the APS
· Examine the rear panel label to ensure the voltage specifications of the unit and the
power source are correctly matched.
· Plug the components to be supplied into the APS output receptacles. The PurePower APS
design allows any outlet to supply digital, analog or power amplifier components.
· E
nsure that each component is switched off.
· DO NOT operate electric space heaters or other items with heater elements with the APS.
·
O
n the 2000 model only, ensure the inpu
t circit breaker is switched to "on"
· Plug the APS power cord into a utility outlet. The APS conducts a self-test. You may hear
a slight click and the fans will rotate momentarily. When the self-test is complete, the APS
is in standby mode.
· Start the APS by pressing the On/Off button until the blue LED is illuminated..
When the blue "Output" LED is illuminated, power is being supplied to the PurePower output
receptacles. The APS will operate in Bypass mode for a few seconds, then turn on its inverter out-
put - indicated by the LCD Display. The PurePower APS is now in Normal mode and ready to sup-
ply power to your system. Turn on the components, ensuring that the total load does not exceed
the capacity of the PurePower APS.
After init
ial start up it is best to keep the
APS on at all times to ensure its batteries are fully
charged. Battery charging will continue with the unit turned Off so long as it is plugged in to an
AC supply
.
If the
LCD lights fail to illuminat
e after plugging the unit in and pressing the On/Off button, chec
k
the line cord,
ensure AC power is available at the receptacle and
check the line fuse located
in
the back of the unit before
notifying PurePower service.
If the
amber "Fault" LED is illuminated ther
e may be a problem requiring sevice of the APS.
Ple
ase call our support line for instructions.
I
n no circumstances should the lid of the PurePower unit be removed. Ther are no user service-
able components inside and there may be lethal voltages present even if the unit is unplugged
from the wall.
