1. The maximum currents or power you can draw from each group is different Group 4 outputs maximum 10A each maximum 16A in total Group Il 2 outputs maximum 6A each maximum 16A in total To prevent that you do exceed maximum load use the power indication W or Watt at the back of your equipment to calculate the total power for each group The value of the fuse in your equipment is not important for the calculation After checking the power use the following numbers Group 4 outputs maximum 2300W each maximum 3680W in total Group Il 2 outputs maximum 1380W each maximum 2760W in total Total maximum power connected to the Mains Multiplier 6 is 3680W Connecting the Mains Multiplier 8 The Mains Multiplier 8 has four outputs with each a Common Mode filter and four direct outputs see figure 4 The direct outputs all have a 10 Amps maximum current each the filtered outputs have a 6 Amps maximum current each The total current of all eight outputs may not exceed 16 Amps You can NOT just connect loads to any group so read this carefully Figure 4 Mains Multiplier 8 Group has four outputs they are wired directly to the mains You can connect heavy loads to this group like power amplifiers and heavy subwoofers Group Il has four outputs each of them have a separate Common Mode filter This group is meant to feed pre amplifiers digital surround processors light to medium subwoofers Integrated amplifiers can go on this gro2. current drawn from all outlets together may not exceed 16 Amps At 230 Volts mains this is equivalent to 3680W Check your supply voltage This device is designed for 220 240 V AC 50 60 Hz mains supply Connecting to a different voltage may damage the device and warranty will be void Avoid condensation If the device is moved from a cold to a warmer area allow warming up to ambient temperature for at least 1 hour without connection to the mains supply This to avoid condensation inside the device Connect power cords safely Power supply cords should be routed in such a way that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items upon or against them paying particular attention to cords at plugs convenience receptacles and the point where they exit from the appliance Do not route power cords near heat sources 5 Connections Integrating your new Mains Multiplier is as easy as can be Just connect the Mains Multiplier to your wall socket Don t bother about the phase of the wall socket you don t have to check it The Mains Multiplier 6 figure 1 and the Mains Multiplier 8 figure 2 do have a phase indicator inside which gives the following indications O o O O false phase j gt O no power power on O Y O O no earth connected al sE 0 e phase ok NS 19 power on O power on O e false phase O no power O power on O no earth connected phase ok O power on O power on Figur
