Instruction manual for Oehlbach XXL Powerstation 909 "State of the art" multi-socket outlet with separately switched plug socket groups

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:

This manual contains important information concerning operation and safety. It is imperative you observe all of the information. Keep the manual in a safe place for future reference.

According to DIN VDE 0620 portable multiple socket outlets should not be

• connected in a row,
  · operated under a cover,
• used as a substitute for fixed installations

The Powerstation should only be connected to a mains socket which has the required connection values.

The Powerstation should not be used if there is any liquid in or on the device.

The Powerstation should not be used in areas where there is a very high degree of humidity.

Do not touch or connect the mains cable with damp hands.

Keep the Powerstation and mains cable away from heating appliances.

The device should no longer be operated if there is visible damage to the Powerstation or mains cable.

A damaged Powerstation should not be repaired, but replaced. No heavy objects should be placed on the Powerstation or the mains cable.

The mains plug should be easily accessible at all times.

If the devices that are connected to the Powerstation are not going to be used for a pronged period (e.g. while on holiday), the Powerstation should be disconnected from the mains by removing the plug.

Do not use any cleaning agents or chemical solvents when cleaning, as these could damage the surface.

Repairs should always be conducted by qualified specialists, as you could be exposed to dangerous high voltage levels or other hazards.

During a thunderstorm we always recommend disconnecting the Powerstation from the mains.

Cleaning

Before cleaning the Powerstation disconnect the mains plug. The Powerstation should only be dusted. Do not use any liquid cleaners or sprays.

Initial operation

Connect the supplied power cord to the Oehlbach XXL Powerstation 909 and insert the mains plug into a wall outlet. The multi-socket outlet can now be activated via the POWER1 switch. POWER2 switches the second socket group.

The Oehlbach XXL Powerstation 909 features four unfiltered "analogue" and four filtered "digital" sockets. The unfiltered sockets are designated with „PURE ANALOG“ and the filtered sockets are designated with „DIGITAL FILTER“.

Connecting digital devices

Digital devices can react extremely sensitively to disturbing pulses and sometimes even produce high-frequency interfering signals. Therefore, make sure you connect all digital devices (e.g. DVD/BluRay player, HDD recorder, PC, etc.) to the digital sockets on the power strip. These sockets are designated with "DIGITAL FILTER". Devices connected to these sockets are protected by an efficient filter against all disturbing pulses that arrive via the mains supply. This switching circuit also eliminates interference caused by the connected devices themselves.

Furthermore, a delay function ensures these sockets are switched with a 2 second delay. This provides protection against current surges for sensitive hi-fi equipment.

Connecting analogue devices

Connect all analogue devices such as a tuner, record player, tape deck or amplifier to the „analogue“ sockets (“PURE ANALOG”). The XXL Powerstation 909 uses these sockets to provide unfiltered current for all analogue devices and sufficient reserves for a permanent, stable power supply at all times, even in the event of high power requirements.

Polarity control

An in-phase connection of all devices will guarantee the best possible, unadulterated sound. This is the only way to ensure that potential equalisation currents, which have a negative impact on the sound, are effectively avoided. The POLARITY light indicates that the red sockets are connected in-phase (L). If the polarity light does not illuminate, switch off the power supply, remove the mains plug from the wall socket, turn it around around 180° and plug it in again. The polarity LED now illuminates and the phase designation on the individual sockets correctly designates the phase. To proof the correct in-phase connection of your HIFI-device, you should use the Oehlbach Phaser (Art.No. 17017). All end devices can now be connected in-phase accordingly.

Surge protection

If the surge protection function of the XXL Powerstation 909 is triggered as a result of extreme voltage peaks, the eight sockets (and all of the connected devices) are disconnected from the mains. The Powerstation can be used again by pressing the RESET button.

Correct operation of the active surge protection function is indicated by the PROTECTED light.

Digital display

The digital display either shows the applied voltage (Volt) or the current energy consumption (>20 Watt). The two functions can be alternated between by pressing the MODE button. Pressing the DISPLAY button allows you to switch off the display backlight.

Earth connection

The XXL Powerstation 909 is equipped with a gold-plated earth connection at the rear. Various devices, such as turntables, etc. can be earthed here.

Features

• Multiple socket for eight plugs
• 4 digital (filtered) plug sockets and 4 analogue (unfiltered) plug sockets divided into two separately switching groups. Each group possesses two filtered (digital) and two unfiltered (analogue) plug sockets.
• The “delay function” for the four filtered sockets also protects connected equipment from start-up peaks when it is switched on.
• Front panel made from solid brushed aluminium for a great feel and noble look.
• The sturdy full-metal housing provides effective protection against ambient interference.
• Correct phase connection is ensured by a "polarity" indicator on the front display and phase marking on each individual socket
• Integrated sheath current filter protects against ground loops and high-frequency transients
• Absolutely reliable protection against surges for your high-quality hi-fi and home-cinema components; very quick response time. The power station may also be taken back into operation after slight voltage peaks with the RESET function.
  • 24 carat gold-plated plug contacts
• Extremely high-quality internal wiring: internal conductor made from high-purity and oxygen-free copper; with 3.3 mm² internal cross-section
• External power cable with IEC connector: internal conductor made from oxygen-free copper; with a 1.5 ~mm^2 internal cross-section and 1.5 ~m long cable
