PureAV Isolator

Thank you for choosing the Belkin PureAV Home Theater Surge Protector (the Isolator) for your power protection and home theater entertainment needs. You now own the best-value surge protector from the market leader in surge protection.

The PureAV Isolator provides the highest-quality protection from damaging AC surges and catastrophic lightning strikes. The PureAV Isolator reduces power-line noise contamination, known as electromagnetic and radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI), generated from both outside and inside the home. This lets you experience a clearer picture and cleaner sound.

The exceptional Isolator Technology design prevents noise generated by one electronic device from transferring to other devices that are also plugged into the PureAV Isolator. The core technology consists of high-energy Metal Oxide Varistors (MOVs), Differential Isolation Coils, and special Capacitors that are dedicated to each successive pair of receptacle banks. Each power filter or “graduating filtration” level isolates and contains power line noise within each individual pair of receptacle banks.

When home appliances that produce excessive line noise—such as a printer, scanner, or vacuum cleaner—are used with the PureAV Isolator, every filter works together to ensure that audio static, and/or video interference is reduced or prevented entirely.

Using the PureAV Isolator

1) Before switching the PureAV Isolator to the “ON” position, please ensure that it is plugged into a grounded 230V AC 50Hz (standard) wall outlet.

2) Make sure the diagnostic lights are on, indicating that incoming AC wall power is safe (the yellow “Protection” and green “LINE OK” indicators should be lit whenever the unit is on).

3) Next, plug in desired devices. The Master Switch can also be used as a master on/off controller for all the connected devices.

Installation of the PureAV Isolator

1) Turn OFF all of your electronic equipment and ensure that the PureAV Isolator is also switched OFF.

2) Plug your electronic devices into the Isolator’s AC outlets.

Note: DO NOT USE two-wire extension cords or adapters with this product.

Using any extension cord in conjunction with the Belkin PureAV Isolator will void all Belkin Corporation warranties. All connected equipment should be plugged directly into your Belkin PureAV Isolator.

3) Satellite Components: Connect the coaxial cable line from the satellite source

to the Isolator’s satellite connector marked “IN”. Use a second coaxial cable to connect the Isolator’s cable connector marked “OUT” to the appropriate input on your satellite device.

4) Coaxial/Antenna: Connect the coaxial cable line from the cable/antenna source to the Isolator’s cable/antenna connector marked “IN”. Use a second coaxial cable to connect the Isolator’s cable/antenna marked “OUT” to the appropriate input on your cable or antenna device.

5) Phone/Fax/Modem Data Connections: Connect a modular phone cord from the wall socket to the Isolator’s phone socket marked “IN”. Use a second modular phone cord to connect to the phone line socket marked “IN” on the phone to the Isolator’s phone socket marked “OUT”.

[Each PureAV Isolator model comes with solid-state, phone/fax/modem, Internet-

ready (BT socket) surge protection with a built-in phone line splitter.]

If desired, use a third modular phone cord and connect your computer modem

data line socket marked “IN” with the Isolator’s other phone socket marked “OUT”. Or you can connect a second data line device of your choice (fax, etc.).

Note: If you fail to connect the phone/fax/modem protection, the Connected

Equipment Warranty will not cover your connected equipment with telecom ports. Most modem damage can be prevented if you take the time to connect the phone/fax/modem protection.

6) Your PureAV Isolator should be plugged into a grounded wall outlet (3-conductor, 230V AC 50Hz) only.

Features

PureAV Isolator

The PureAV Isolator comes with three Diagnostic Indicators, plus an Amber Master Switch light. When you plug the unit into a live, 230V AC 50Hz outlet, these lights let you know that protection is activated and warn of a power problem before you connect your equipment.

Protection (Yellow) indicates your surge protection is functioning properly. Line OK (Green) indicates line integrity. Line Fault (Red) indicates wall outlet in use has existing ground fault, or is

improperly wired.

Protection (Yellow): This light should come on when the unit’s power switch is turned to the “ON” position. If this light goes out at any time, it means that your surge protector has “sacrificed itself” to protect your equipment and should be replaced. Please contact Belkin Corporation for a free surge protector replacement.

Line OK (Green): This light should also come on when the power switch is turned on. It shows that 230V AC power is present with no wiring faults and it is safe to plug and use connected equipment.

Line Fault (Red): If on, this light indicates that a wiring fault has been detected. This may be the result of a lack of grounding or reversed phases, among other problems. A qualified electrician should be notified so that the problem can be corrected before plugging in devices.

Master (Amber): This on/off switch provides a built-in, automatic shutdown, 16-Amp circuit breaker. The light should come on when the unit is plugged into a 230V AC 50Hz socket and switched to the “ON” position. Important: If the current draw exceeds 16 Amps for an elongated period of time, the circuit breaker will shut down the surge protector power to prevent damage. Allow a brief time for the Isolator to cool before resetting the circuit breaker switch. (To reset, simply press the switch.)

Isolator Technology: As mentioned earlier, this design prevents devices that are plugged into a given receptacle bank from transferring contamination to a device plugged into another receptacle bank. Each pair of receptacle banks is isolated from the other pairs within the PureAV Isolator. (The 8-socket PureAV Isolator has 4 pairs of PFT receptacle banks.)

The PureAV Isolator provides increasing levels of protection and filtration from surges, spikes, lightning strikes, and EMI/RFI. When AC power travels from the wall socket and throughout each successive pair of receptacle banks, each power filter or “graduating filtration” level increases the isolation, filtration, and protection for your most sensitive devices. The higher receptacle banks (farthest from the power switch) will provide a greater amount of surge and line-noise protection than the first receptacle bank or the bank labeled “High Current Filter”. The “High Current Filter” is designed to deliver the maximum current with the minimal filtration required by amplifiers and powered subwoofers.

Features

Note: LEVEL 1 is capable of protecting any sensitive electronic device, but you may wish to use it for devices that require high current power and low filtration, like stereo amplifiers. Simply choose what devices you desire to use and plug into the protection you need.

Cord Management: The power cord wraps around the surge unit and snaps into the grooves along the sides for clutter-free cord management.

Wall Mounting: The Isolator is mountable using a No. 8-type screw size. Simply measure and align the keyhole slots on the bottom of the unit over the No. 8 screws and push into place. (Screws are not included.)
