in that case you will lose your entitlement for our manufacturer
warranty.
In the case of damages at the power plug or power cable please
initiate an exchange at SCHNERZINGER via your dealer.

PROTECTOR SYSTEM
The music reproduction quality of an audio system is highly affected by low and high frequency electrical interfering fields, caused by Wi-Fi,
cellular radio, power lines etc.With the
PROTECTORS
and their integrated trendsetting
GIGA-PULSE
technology, SCHNERZINGER has developed
aproduct category that actively eliminates the sonic effects of low and high frequency interfering fields.
The PROTECTORS significantly enhance the transmission quality of audio systems.The sonic effects include an astonishingly higher spatial
depth and resolution as well as increased broad and fine dynamics in music reproduction.
Utilizing the operating principle and efficiency of the GIGA-PULSE technology, the SCHNERZINGER PROTECTORS represent aunique solution in
the market.
An important health aspect:protector technology does not increase radiation exposure within the room.

GIGA GUARD
Protection of Hi-Fi -components via direct plug-in
Wireless controlled GIGA GUARDs use GIGA-PULSE technology to clear up internal interfering fields, originating in the devices. From the master
unit they receive a dejamming signal, actively penetrating the entire device.
In order to protect the sensitive signal inside the devices against impairment, developers of high grade devices try hard to keep interfering fields
low inside of the devices by use of very low stray field components or by shielding enclosures. Problematic power filter or conditioner may help
keep external field loads away from the device, but the inner interfering fields, caused by the equipment itself and close to the audio signal,
cannot be cleared up this way.
In contrast the GIGA GUARDs actively operate right in the equipment, in the immediate vicinity of the signal-transmitting components. This
makes them an unrivaled solution on the market.
The product line comprises several specific GIGA GUARD modules for the respective application:
RCA, XLR, BNC, USB.

Setting up aSCHNERZINGER system
Recommendation for the first setting resp.resetting of several SCHNERZINGER components:
1. Step:
Connect all components
-with the power circuit, if required (see manual)
-with the Hi-Fi devices (GROUND, SPEAKER AMP)
2. Step:
Set all switches at all components to basic setting (switches to position 0).
3. Step:
Test each component
one after the other
for its optimal setting according to the manual, with the following configuration sequence:
CABLES, GROUND PROTECTOR, GRID PROTECTOR, POWER GUARD, OPERATOR/NEW INNOVATOR, SPEAKER AMP PROTECTOR,
EMI PROTECTOR, GIGA PICCOLO PROTECTOR, GIGA GUARD, GIGA PROTECTOR
If you add your device to an already existing SCHNERZINGER chain,
outstanding results will be obtained mostly when all devices will
keep their former settings and just the additional product will be installed and configured as described in its manual.
If this does not provide satisfactory results, we recommend acomplete system resetting.

Connecting the GIGA GUARD Master to the power grid
Screw in the antenna;it has to stay in upright position for proper functioning.

Control
Unit 12 V
power supply
The GIGA GUARD MASTER should be placed close to the Hi-Fi devices.
The
CONTROL UNIT
will be connected to the MASTER and the
12Vpower supply
will be connected to the CONTROL UNIT.
The 12 Volt power supply should be connected to apower circuit separate from the Hi-Fi system –ideally even to adifferent power
phase.
The GIGA GUARD MASTER may be used without the 12Vpower supply.This supports aflexible placement of the unit.But in this
case it should be connected to the grid with CONTROL UNIT and 12Vpower supply once ayear for 15 minutes.
Mostly abetter result will be achieved, when the 12Vpower supply is permanently connected.

Via the GIGA GUARD modules RCA, XLR/W, XLR/M,
BNC, USB Type Aand Type Bfirst the free inputs of
the Hi-Fi components (but no speakers*) are available
to connect to the GIGA GUARD.
For each single component please test the optimal
input;primary digital inputs, alternatively analog
inputs.Per component more than one GIGA GUARD
may be connected, this results in an increased effect
for this component.
If no digital or analog input is available, the effect of a
GIGA GUARD may also be tested at an output (digital
or analog).
Screw in the antenna for each individual GIGA
GUARD;by turning and bending at the hinge it has to
be moved and stay in upright position for proper
functioning.

*Caution –risk of damage
Connecting the Hi-Fi Components
The
GIGA GUARD MASTER
may control several GIGA GUARDs.Hi-Fi Components are connected through the individual GIGA GUARDs.The
particular Hi-Fi component should be switched off* during installation.

Setting up the GIGA PICCOLO PROTECTOR
The
GIGA GUARD MASTER
has an additional GIGA-PULSE amplifier,
allowing to optimally calibrate the unit to the respective interference field
spectrum of the environment (e.g.WLAN, mobile communication, DECT,
Bluetooth, radio waves and other interfering sources).
Changes need some time to take effect mostly.Therefore at each of the
following steps you should wait for app.two minutes before judging.
Do not change the results as determined from the previous steps when
you do the subsequent steps.
Switch at the back:
Activating a
GIGA-PULSE amplifier
.
0 = Power Level 1
(without CONTROL UNIT and 12V power supply)
0 = Power Level 2
(with CONTROL UNIT, without 12V power supply)
1 = Power Level 3
(with CONTROL UNIT and 12V power supply, LEDs low)
2 = Power Level 4
(with CONTROL UNIT and 12V power supply, LEDs high)

Lasting Effect of the GIGA GUARD
The
GIGA GUARD
constantly operates to clear up interfering fields effectively and comprehensively.
If after awhile you once want to hear the performance of your system without your GIGA PICCOLO PROTECTOR, the buffering
effect absolutely has to be considered.
If the GIGA GUARD is switched off for ashort time only, it still takes effect because of the buffering of the power supply unit.
Disconnect the 12Vpower supply and the CONTROL UNIT from the power grid and the GIGA GUARD MASTER resp.Disconnect all
GIGA GUARD units from the devices.Additionally bend the antennas of all units at the hinge into ahorizontal position and place
the MASTER and the GIGA GUARD units on the floor.Keep these conditions for several hours, preferably overnight.This way you
achieve that the GIGA GUARD has no effect any more.
Upon recommissioning the interfering fields will be cleared again fast.
