Introduction
Thank you for purchasing this TAGA Harmony power lter.
The electricity network in our homes or workplaces is exposed to di󰀨erent interferences
for instance electromagnetic interference (EMI) generated by appliances connected to
the same network (refrigerators, air conditioners, computers etc.). These interferences
are not only produced inside your house or o󰀩ce but by all appliances in your building
or even outside it and can di󰀨er on the time of day or week when the tra󰀩c on the
electrical network changes.
All these interferences which we call noises can get into your AC power and interfere
with your system.
This “dirty” electricity can have a negative e󰀨ect on performance of your audio-video
system.
TAGA Harmony power noise lter is a great way to limit the negative noises from your
electricity and to isolate your system from the contaminated power and has a feature to
indicate the correct power phase.
Thanks to the PF power lters you will be able to enjoy a better quality of your audio
and video equipment.
The contaminated electricity has also a negative impact on internal circuits and power
supplies of your equipment and because the PF lter works as a bu󰀨er between
the wall socket and your gear it will help to increase the longevity of connected
components.
The voltage meter located on the front panel of the PF lter (selected models) helps to
control whether the power voltage in the wall socket is stable.
Removable IEC type power cord gives an option to upgrade your system with a
premium audiophile power cable in any time.
Cleaning
Do not use strong or abrasive cleaners. Use a dry, soft cloth for cleaning.

the Power Cable is removed).
2. Using power cables (only a power cable for the lter is supplied with this product)
connect your audio-video equipment to the power sockets.
Follow the below recommendations:
FILTERED SOCKETS (these sockets are ltered. Electrical noises are ltered and
limited) – connect here your audio-video sources (CD/DVD/BluRay/Media Player,
Radio/TV Tuner, Digital-to-Analog Converter, Turntable, Preamplier, Active Speakers
etc.) and video display devices (TV Set, Video Projector etc.).

Operation
1. Plug the Power Cable to the lter and into the electrical outlet.
2. Turn on the lter (the Power Switch should be in the upper ON position).
The Power Indicator should light up – if not then check the connection
to the electrical outlet and whether it is powered.
3. Phase Indicator - the indicator will illuminate when the phase is incorrect.
If the Phase is incorrect perform the following steps:
a) Schuko type electrical outlet. Make sure the lter is turned o󰀨 (the Power Switch is in
the down OFF position and the Power Cable is removed).
Remove the power plug from the outlet, reverse the plug by 180 degrees and put it into
the outlet.
Turn on the lter – the Phase Indicator should switch o󰀨 – the Phase is correct.
b) Electrical outlet with a ground pin. Make sure the lter is turned o󰀨 (the Power
Switch is in the down OFF position and the Power Cable is removed).
Contact a qualied electrician to reverse wiring connection in your electrical outlet.
Turn on the lter – the Phase Indicator should switch o󰀨 – the Phase is correct.
4. The Power Sockets in your lter may have additional marking related to the female
contacts: L – LIVE | N – NEUTRAL.
If not then check the below gure showing the Power Sockets wiring (for the
correct Phase).
This unit requires a single-phase 3-conductor electrical outlet.
Due to risk of electric shock refer any changes related to electrical
equipment to qualied personnel.

Operation
If your audio-video equipment has the phase marking for the power cable input make
sure to connect correctly the equipment power cable plug to the power lter.
5. Turn on your audio-video equipment and enjoy your system.
6. Reset – the Power Output Sockets will be powered o󰀨 when the maximum power
load is exceeded (check on the rear of the lter or in specications).
Press the RESET button to restore the power supply.
7. Voltage Meter - whenever the power lter is turned on and connected to a
properly working electrical outlet the Voltage Meter will be displaying approximate
current voltage in Volts.
Note! The results of Voltage Meter measurement accuracy are highly approximate
and should not be taken into account for the professional assessment of the power
line quality.
• When you want to turn o󰀨 the power lter we recommend to turn o󰀨
your audio-video equipment rstly.
• This power lter is not a uninterruptible power supply unit (UPS).
It will not operate when the input power source fails (no power
or too low voltage).
