Safety instructions
1. General
Please read, observe and follow the following safety instructions. Please save the
operating manual. Observe all the warning notices on the device and
in the operating
manual.
2. Proper use
Connect the product as indicated in the operating manual. Only use the cables and
accessories provided by the manufacturer. Use only appropriate stands, brackets,
shelves and other devices for the attachment and sup
port of the products. When
moving the support surfaces upon which products are placed, be very careful in order
to avoid injuries and damage resulting from falling products.
3. Moisture
Select a location for the product which does no
t have a high level of relative humidity.
Never use this device near water. Wetness can bypass the electrical insulation and
thus present a fatal danger, as it can for all devices not specially designed to be
water-resistant. The devices may not be exposed
to dripping or sprayed water. No
objects may be placed on the devices, especially those which are filled with water or
other liquids (e.g. vases, etc.).
4. Protecting the product
Do not under any circumstances expose the devices to high levels of humidit
y.
Extreme temperature fluctuations, humidity and extended exposure to light can
damage the devices and alter their appearance. Make sure that no foreign objects
or liquids enter the device.
5. Positioning
Do not position the product near sources of he
at, heaters, heating valves, ovens or
other devices which generate heat. Never block the ventilation slots on the devices.
The devices may only be stored and operated in a temperature range from +15 to
+30°C.
The device heats up during operation. To prevent unnecessary activation of the overtemperature shutdown feature, the device must be allowed proper air circulation.
Products without a magnetic shield may discolour or distort a nearby television. A
distance of 0.5 m or greater is normally sufficient to
prevent such disturbances. Most
televisions have a built-
in correction circuit for such occurrences. When these devices
are switched off and switched on again a few minutes later, the picture should be
largely corrected.
Do not place credit cards or oth
er magnetic data carriers on the device; the
information saved on them could be destroyed.

Operating manual
AC-A3016
6. Grounding / Earthing
Caution! The decoupling filters of the AC-
A3016 cause increased heat losses. For
this reason, the device must only be plugged into sockets (grounded/earthed
outlets) with a properly functioning protective earth!
7. Connection
The device may only be connected to the mains voltage which is indicated on the
device (pos. 6)! Improper handling of the mains voltage may cause fatal injuries!
All cables must be positioned in such a wa
y that there is no danger of them being
damaged (e.g. being stepped on, placed under furniture or spikes underneath
loudspeakers). Never remove cables by pulling the cable; instead, always hold
the plug when disconnecting.
When the device is in stand-by m
ode, it is not completely disconnected from the
mains, as is indicated on the LED on the front. In order to avoid unnecessary
risks and energy consumption during extended absences, the mains switch on
the back of the device should be switched off and the m
ains plug should be
disconnected.
The mains plug and the mains on/off switch for the device should be easily
accessible.
8. Overload
In cases of extreme overload, it is possible for individual components to burn
through despite multiple fuses. It is also
theoretically possible (although we are
not aware of any such incidents) that such overload could cause a fire to ignite
inside of the device. Therefore, you should not leave the devices unattended
when operating an at extremely high level.
9. Maintenance
All service work on the devices should be performed exclusively by service
personnel. Servicing is necessary for all types of damage, i.e. if cables and plugs
are damaged, if liquid spills into or objects fall onto the device, if the device is
dropped or
falls down, if foreign objects enter the device, if the device is exposed
to rain or humidity or if any other influences should impair the device from
functioning properly.
Opening the housing is strictly prohibited, as the components and conductors
may carry potentially fatal voltage!

10. Fuses
All necessary fuses have been integrated in the device. These fuses may only be
changed by qualified service technicians. In doing so, all specified fuse values
must be observed. If the replaced fuse blows immediately, the device sho
uld be
handed in to be serviced. No liability is accepted for damage caused by
unauthorised intervention or incorrect fuse types.
11. Care
Unplug the active power distributor before cleaning it. Always clean the product
with a soft, dry and lint-free clo
th, or with a brush. Do not under any
circumstances use scouring agents, alcohol, benzene, furniture polish or similar
substances.

Connection
CAUTION: The active power distributor is equipped with safety features (see pages11- 12)
which may
cause all connected components to be switched off suddenly! In certain circumstances, this could
damage components or result in the loss of data. It is IMPERATIVE that table 1 on page 10
is observed
in order to determine which components may not be suitable for use with the device or which may be
at risk of being damaged.
1. Before connecting the AC-
A3016 active power distributor, please switch off all components
and un-plug the respective mains plugs.
2. If your system already has a power strip, please remove it.
3.
Position the active power distributor next to your other components. The active power
distributor may not be covered and should be sufficiently ventilated (refer to Set-
up
on page 6). Note the length of the cables of the other components which will be connected
to the active power distributor. The cables should be sufficient in length and may not be
crimped, crushed or stretched under too much tension.
4. The AC-A3016 is equipped with 4 groups, each with 2 sockets (items 7-
10). Every group
can be assigned to a special filter (page 14) perfectly tailored to device characteristics.
The following filters are available: Filter Off | High Power | Analogue |
Digital | Group D |
Video. The groups can also be switched off individually (page 15).
Please note that socket groups B, C and D can each be loaded with a maximum of 4 ampere
(4A / 920 W in total - distributed to two sockets)..
The device categories ar
e described in more detail on page 10. You can find an example
on page 21 and a table where you can plan the device connections and the preset
configurations on page 23.
The voltage regulators for groups B - C – D can be loaded with a maximum of 920 W/4
A.
The peak current here is 25 ampere.
5. Plug the mains power cable (item 4) of the active power distributor into a wall socket.
CAUTION: It is imperative that the phase orientation on the mains plug is observed!
The pin on the SAFETY socket with
the white indicator dot MUST be connected in
phase. Non-
compliance will significantly reduce the functionality and performance
of the active power distributor.
An active screening tester has been supplied in order to determine the phase of the power
socket (see page 13). If in doubt, please consult a qualified electrician.
6. Before you start running all components now, please check again the whole installation of
your components.

Operating manual
AC-A3016
Power rating
The active power distributor was developed for the operation of hi-
fi and video devices. Its core component
is a sophisticated power controller, which stabilises the voltage to the plug sockets (pos. 7 –
10). In
principle, the controller (group A) regulates outputs of up to 3600 W / 16A. The controller can even handle
short current spikes exceeding 100 amps, which may be produced when connected components are
switched on. The voltage regulators for groups B-C-D can be loaded with a maximum of 920 W/4
A.
The peak current here is 25 ampere.
Heat which is generated during continuous high-
output operation is largely dissipated through an integrated
cooling system. The maximum average power output of the active p
ower distributor is dependent on the
ambient air temperature, ventilation and the effective mains voltage. Prolonged, extremely high-
output
operation (i.e. average power output too high) can cause the power distributor to reach the temperature
limit, at which point it will switch off (more under Safety features on page 12).
The following diagram is
intended to provide a better understanding of how the active power distributor's power-
handling capacity is
dependent on time:
Devices have different performance characteristics. We differentiate be
tween devices with high and low, as
well as constant and dynamic power consumption. For example, the power consumption of amplifiers is high
but dynamic. Thus, the average power output of a 1000 W amplifier may “only” amount to 100 W at very
high levels. I
n other words, large amplifiers have lower power consumption and normally do not pose a
problem, even during prolonged operation. In contrast, a hotplate has a high and constant power output,
which means it has a high average power output. These performance characteristics are shown in table 1
on
page 10
(household appliances and electric machines have been listed in order to help provide a better
understanding).

Operating manual
AC-A3016
Operating
After you have made all connections and inspected them, switch-on the AC-
A3016 active
power distributor at the main switch (pos. 5). The device is now in stand-
by mode and the
red LED (pos. 2) is lit. Activate the power distributor by pressing the stand-by button (
pos.
1), the red LED goes out. The blinking of the green LED indicator (pos. 1) signals the switch
-
on delay. After approx. one minute,
the active power distributor's power sockets are switched
on and the connected components are supplied with power.
Note:
The active power distributor requires approx. 15
minutes after a cold start (first time it is
switched on after being disconnected from the mains) in order to reach its operating
temperature, to bias all electronic operation points and to stabilise the output voltage
at the
plug sockets (pos. 7 – 10) to 230 V.
Only then will the active power distributor have reached its full performance level. To
facilitate this process, the active power distributor is equipped with an integrated heater
which helps to stabilise the internal voltage reference in terms of temperature.
During the warm-
up phase, the voltage at the plug sockets on the active power distributor
can be slightly higher than 230V, but still within standard mains tolerance. This poses no
problem for the connected devices.
If you would like to make an A-
B comparison with another mains distributor (e.g. your old
power strip), you should first allow the AC-
A2016 active power distributor to reach its
operating temperature..
Safety features
The active power distributor has various process-
controlled safety features, which protect
both the connected devices as well as the active power distributor itself.
1. Normal operation:
The LED indicator (pos. 3) continuously lights up in green during normal operation.
2. Over-voltage protection:
The active power distributor suppresses short voltage spikes, and thus protects the connected
devices. Caution: The active power distributor is NOT equipped with a lightning arrestor!
If the mains voltage from the wall socket is too high over a prolonged period
(>245V),
thus putting the active power distributor and connected devices at risk, the active
power distributor will switch off the plug sockets (pos. 7 – 10).
The message "Mains voltage too high" appears in the display (item 11).
12
Operating manual
AC-
A3016
3. Under-voltage protection:
If the mains voltage from the wall socket is too low over a prolonged period (< 215V),
thus
compromising the performance of the active power distributor, the device will switch off the
plug sockets (pos. 7 – 10).
The message "Mains voltage too low" appears in the display (item
11).
4. Over-temperature protection:
The active power distributor is equipped with a fan to facilitate the dissipation of heat during
high-
output operation. This fan is regulated by the temperature of the device. If the fan cannot
provide sufficient cooling because the operating temperature is too high, the device is not
properly positioned or output is too high over a prolonged period (diagram 1, page 9), the
active power distributor can switch off. In order to allow counter measures to be carried out
(e.g. switching off components not in use, lowerin
g the volume), from 65°C the temperature is
automatically indicated. If, however, the active power distributor still becomes too hot
(>75°C), the sockets are switched off and the message "Device too hot" appears in the
display. Once the temperature drops below 65°C, the sockets switch on again and the device
can be operated normally.
5. Overload protection:
If the active power distributor reaches its maximum output limit, it will switch off. This may
result from connecting too many devices when the overall output exceeds 3600 W or if the
active power distributor has to compensate for excessive differences in voltage due to
insufficient power supply from the wall socket. In this case, the message "Output too high"
appears in the display.
6. Current-limit control:
If devices are connected which require a starting current that is too high (> 100 Amps), the
active power distributor will attempt to activate the connected device via the integrated
current limiter. You may hear the internal relays clicking when this happens. If this attempt
should fail, the active power distributor switches the sockets off and the message "Current too
high" appears in the display.
7. Bridge mode:
The power distributor is equipped with a bridge mode to protect the voltage regulators from
critical loads. It is automatically activated if the maximum permissible peak current is
exceeded, e.g. when a large amplifier is connected. The active power distributor returns to
normal operation after approximately 3 min.
This mode is also active for 3 min. after switching on the system.

Active screening/phase tester
Phase test:
Plug the tip of screening tester into both of the holes (alternately) in the plug socket and
then let go of the screening tester. The hole in which the screening tester lights up (LED)
is the phase. Plug the mains plug from the AC-
A1016 active power distributor into the plug
socket so that the white indicator dot on the plug is aligned with the phased hole of the
plug socket. We also recommend that you mark the phase hole on the plug socket.
CAUTION:
The screening tester is not suitable for determining whether the plug sockets
and the devices are de-
energised! Work on electrical devices and installations should only
be performed by a qualified electrician.
Screening test:
Hold the screening teste
r firmly by the tip and run it along the length of the cable to be
tested. If the screening tester lights up, the cable is not screened
Note:
This only works, of course, with 230V power cables which are also plugged in /
switched on!
Polarity test:
You
can also use the screening tester to test whether lamps and devices with cable
switches are plugged in in the right direction. The switch should switch the phase, not the
neutral conductor. Switch off the lamp and run the screening tester along the length
of
the cable. It will light up in front of the switch, and go out behind the switch. If not, rotate
the mains plug and test the cable again. This can be done to reduce electromagnetic
pollution in your environment, as well as to reduce the “load” on your hi-fi components.
