your Hi-Fi system.
This guide facilitates your use of the product, promotes
understanding its functional characteristics and helps
you to obtain the full efficiency of the product.
We hope you enjoy your new SCHNERZINGER product.
Please clean the product with anonscratching dry duster only.
Avoid using cleaning agents.
In case of malfunctions contact your SCHNERZINGER dealer.
Please do not attempt to service the device yourself or to open it,
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.

GRID PROTECTOR
The GIGA-PULSE technology of the
GRID PROTECTOR
penetrates and clears up the entire domestic power grid from sound
damaging interfering fields, caused by the electrical devices in the home (computer, refrigerator, cooktop, router, etc.).
Due to GIGA-PULSE technology the GRID PROTECTOR can do without problematic filters and passive components like capacitors,
which are responsible for loss of dynamics, resolution and naturalness;especially at high power requirements of the power grid.
The operating principle and efficiency of the GRID PROTECTOR are unique; a single GRID PROTECTOR raises the potential of the
entire music system to anew level.

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 GRID PROTECTOR to the power grid
4
1
The connection* of the
GRID PROTECTOR
to apower circuit separately from the Hi-Fi system –ideally with adifferent power phase -will obtain
the best result mostly.
If this is not possible in your listening room, it’s worth to test the operation of the GRID PROTECTOR in asuitable different room.
If the GRID PROTECTOR will be connected to apower strip (not the Hi-Fi power strip), it should occupy the first slot -the connection at the first
slot of the Hi-Fi power strip may have successful results rarely.
2
Connection of the
CONTROL UNIT
and the
12Vpower supply
.
The CONTROL UNIT will be connected to the PROTECTOR and the 12Vpower supply will be connected to the CONTROL UNIT.
The 12 Volt power supply of the GRID PROTECTOR should not be connected to the Hi-Fi system power circuit.
The GRID PROTECTOR 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.
The other ports are reserved for PROFESSIONAL LINE accessories.
Screw in the antenna;it has to stay in upright position for proper
functioning.
*note the correct phase (marked
with asilver dot) –measure the
phase of your socket.

Setting up the GRID PROTECTOR
3. Step: Switches left:
Functional circuit I –setting the
GIGA-PULSE bandwidth
Switches: L1 = narrow to L4 = wide
Starting from the base setting the switches L1 -L4 will be set
sequentially from position 0 to position 1. Each step will increase
the bandwidth.
If the bandwidth is to low, the best possible effect will not be
reached yet. If the bandwidth is to high, even a sound degradation
may occur.
The test ends, when the subsequent step won’t achieve a better
result.
4. Step: Switches right:
Functional circuit II –setting the
GIGA-PULSE clocking
Switches: R1 = low to R4 = high
Starting from the base setting the switches R1 -R4 will be set
sequentially from position 0 to position 1. Each step will increase
the clocking pace.
If the pace is to low, the best possible effect will not be reached yet.
If the pace is to high, even a sound degradation may occur.
The test ends, when the subsequent step won’t achieve a better
result.
The
GRID PROTECTOR
has an additional GIGA-PULSE amplifier and two functional circuits,
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.
1. Step:
Set all 9 switches to base setting 0.

2. Step:Switch in front:
Activating a
GIGA-PULSE amplifier
.
0 = Power Level 1(without CONTROL UNIT and 12Vpower supply)
0 = Power Level 2(with CONTROL UNIT, without 12Vpower supply)
1 = Power Level 3 (with CONTROL UNIT and 12V power supply, LEDs on)

Lasting Effect of the GRID PROTECTOR
The
GRID PROTECTOR
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 GRID PROTECTOR, the buffering effect
absolutely has to be considered.
If the GRID PROTECTOR 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 GRID PROTECTOR resp.and detach the
power cable of the GRID PROTECTOR from the power grid.Additionally bend the antenna at the hinge into ahorizontal position
and place the unit on the floor.Keep these conditions for several hours, preferably overnight.This way you achieve that the GRID
PROTECTOR has no effect any more.
Upon recommissioning the interfering fields will be cleared again fast.
