Important Safety Instructions
Please keep the original shipping box and all packing material.
This will ensure the AVR2 is protected in future transport.
In the unlikely event you have a problem and must return it for
service you must use the original packing material.
Ship the AVR2 only in the original packing material, as the unit
is not insurable by carriers otherwise.

Torus Power AVR2 Series Power Conditioners - User Notes and Manual
Page 3
Torus Power AVR2 series products are full-feature
state-of-the-art power conditioners and voltage
stabilizers, with built-in web interface and
multiple-addressable zones to provide the ultimate
in monitoring and control of audio/video systems.
AVR2 series provide multiple IP-addressable duplex
outlet zones that can be separately turned on or off
through the web browser, and/or remotely
scheduled. Torus Power AVR2 models clean and
condition AC power, providing noise attenuation
from 2 kHz to beyond 1MHz.
They provide true isolation (using massive toroidal
transformers) along with low source impedance
and large enough instantaneous current for today's
most sophisticated and powerful audio amplifiers.
The performance level is far beyond what any
typical power conditioner using discrete filters can
provide.
AVR2 series provide voltage stabilization that keeps
equipment in the optimal voltage operating range
(in North America +/ 5V, in Europe/Asia/Australia
+/- 10V of nominal operating voltage, regardless of
fluctuations in line voltages. Voltage sags,
brownouts, and surges can stress components and
shorten equipment life. In the worst case,
catastrophic events can destroy valuable
equipment. Torus Power products protect connected
equipment, and improve the quality and enjoyment
of your audio and video experience.
Series mode surge suppression is built into AVR and
AVR2 units to provide protection against lighting
strikes and other power disturbances.
Toroidal Isolation Power Conditioning provides
the ultimate in clean power performance
Automatic Voltage Regulation maintains stable
output voltage
Series mode surge suppression protects against
lighting strikes
IP addressable zones with built-in web interface
- for remote control and monitoring
Password control
Email notification of fault conditions
RS232 control compatible with Crestron and
other major control systems
Delayed switch on (5 seconds) when power
turned on/restored
Front panel displays voltage conditions
(input/output voltage), current draw, and IP
address.
Individually addressable outlet zones (5 individual
zones in 15A and 20A models, and 8 individual
zones in 60A and 100A models.)
Zone “R” can be re-configured to provide
automatic router reboot in case of internet failure
Enhanced web browser interface to
monitor/control/schedule/sequence individual
zones
Scheduling features allows automatic control
(on-off) of any outlet zone according to
user-defined schedule. Schedule parameters allow
one week repeating schedule, with up to 6 events
per day for each controlled zone. Outlets can be
sequenced during start up. Each zone can be
operated by the schedule, or in real-time via the
web browser. Schedule is followed even when
internet connection is lost, as long as system
power is maintained.
The Zones on the AVR2 switch on in sequence:
Zone A first, Zone B second and so on. This will
allow you to select the order in which your
components are switched on. For example,
components that should be switched on first (such
as front end components) can be connected to Zone
A, and Zone B. Components to be switched on last
(such as power amplifiers) can be connected to
Zones C, D (or Zones F, G in higher capacity units).
Routers should be connected to Zone R if the
automatic reboot feature is to be utilized; if this
feature is NOT to be used, Zone R can be used as an
extra controllable outlet zone. Zone R switches on
last.
Since every outlet on the AVR2 is capable of
providing full current with no restriction, connecting
components for preferred sequencing wil NOT
compromise performance.
Noise Reduction:
Surge Suppression:
Performs as a low pass filter,
attenuating noise by 12db/decade to 500kHz
Meets IEEE C62.41-1991:
Series mode type; built to withstand 6000V, 3000A
for 1000 repeats

Front Panel Display
The Front Panel display consists of a 2 line LCD and 1 push button. Each time you push the button the
display will show a different feature of the AVR2.
When you first turn on the AVR2 the System Status will appear. Each time you push the button it will change
from one display to another. One last push will take you back to the System Status and will stay here till you
push the buttons again.

Protection in Event of Voltage Faults
If a high or low voltage condition occurs, and remains for 30 seconds or more a voltage fault message is
displayed. The fault output is turned on and the system shuts down (unless over-ridden by the user). The
user can program the AVR2 software to allow the system to remain on in case of fault (see AVR2 software
section for details)
Display will show or
SYSTEM OFF SYSTEM OFF
LOW VOLTAGE HIGH VOLTAGE
As the output power from the Torus Power AVR2 is shut down, all the connected equipment is turned off.
The AVR2 power switch remains in the ON position, although there is no power to the load.
When the voltage has been restored to the normal operating range, the unit will automatically switch on.
If the fault condition still exists, the AVR2 will require approximately 15 seconds to monitor the incoming
voltage, and the system will shut down again.
Notes:
1. AVR2 unit needs to be switched ON at all times for Series Mode Surge Protection to be active. If the
AVR2 and connected components will not be used for an extended period of time, it is recommended
to unplug the AVR2 unit from main power.
Torus Power AVR2 Series Power Conditioners - User Notes and Manual Continued
2. There is a 20-second delay built into the AVR2 system, to prevent nuisance switching. The AVR2 will
take approximately 20-sec onds to change relay taps to switch to the proper output voltage setting.
3. A drop in the Input voltage is normal when increasing the load on the Torus AVR2. This is a result of
the impedance of the power line, a function of the distance from the electrical panel and transformer
regulation.

AVR2 Software
AVR2 software is resides in the microprocessor on the internal control board. There are two methods to
access the software.
1) Connect the AVR2 to the Ethernet port. Open a web browser on a local computer that is connected to the
same network as the AVR2 via another Wall Network Jack. Enter AVR (or the IP address displayed on the
LCD, screen#5) into the browser window. Press ENTER and the software will open.
2) Use a three way DHCP Router. You then connect both PC and AVR2 to the same DHCP Router. Open a
browser window from the PC. Type AVR, (or the IP address displayed on the LCD, screen#5) into the browser
window. Press ENTER and the software will open.
Username and Password
The password is required to change the setup of the Torus unit.
Username is admin This is factory set and cannot be changed
Password is avr This is the default password, and can be changed.
In case you forget your password, the AVR2 can be restored to the factory default password avr by pressing
and holding the button on the front panel for at least 10 seconds.

of fault voltage condition (button
checked). By un-checking this button it
will override and the AVR2 will remain on
even if voltage drops or rises
beyond acceptable range.
User has the option to
assign Zone R (individual zone located

can be programmed to switch ON/OFF
individually like other zones
(see page 8, Zone Power Control)
-Zone R is not regulated
-Zone R works with the Schedule Manager
and can be programmed to turn ON or OFF at
any time on any day of the week like other zones
(see page 10, Scheduling Management)
-Zone R operates with other zones during
sequential start-up.
