Description
Please keep the original shipping box and all packing material.
This will ensure the PIU is protected in future transport.
In the unlikely event you have a problem and must return it for
service you must use the proper packing material.
Ship the PIU only in the original packing material, as the unit is
not insurable by carriers otherwise.
Shipping Carton & Packing Material
Torus Power PIUs are extremely efficient devices, however,
they are also very high-power devices, and must be
adequately cooled.
Do not install the PIU directly above heat-generating
equipment.
Maintain at least 15cm behind the PIU for adequate wiring
space.
PIUs have ventilation slots on the base, side panels and the
cover. Maintain at least 2.5cm distance from each of these
surfaces to anything else. Should your installation conditions
be constricted, additional forced air-cooling may be
necessary.
Placement & Ventilation
Torus Power products are warranted to be free from
manufacturing defects for five years from the original date of
sale. This includes parts, labour and return shipping to the
first registered owner and all subsequent registered owners.
Warranty coverage is extended to applicable products
registered or having proof-of-purchase (sales invoice, etc.).
In the event of a defect or malfunction, Torus Power will
remedy the problem by repair or replacement, as we deem
necessary, to restore the product to full performance.
This warranty is considered void if the defect, malfunction or
failure of the product or any component part was caused by
damage (not resulting from a defect or malfunction) or abuse
while in the possession of the customer. Failure to fully comply
with Torus Power operating instructions, voids the warranty.
Warranty
Torus Power IS Series Power Conditioners are available in 4A
and 8A models. Each model includes 16A/250V Ivory
Continental European outlets, available in a choice of
aluminum silver or black 17" faceplates, or black 19" rack
mount style.
Torus Power Isolation Power Line Conditioners include unique
toroidal transformer technologies from PLITRON to provide
the ultimate in AC power conditioning and protection for
sensitive audio and video equipment applications.
Isolation is combined with proven proprietary technologies
from PLITRON in the over-sized toroidal transformer. NBT
works as a low pass filter using the controlled leakage
inductance and capacitances within the transformer to
effectively reduce noise. LoNo technology has been used for
years by high-end audio companies who demand silent
transformers. UST provides additional common mode
filtering using a highly efficient Faraday screen.
Low output impedance technology allows high instantaneous
peak current capability, providing the most unconstrained,
yet protected, energy source available to your equipment.
