Important Safety Instructions
Please keep the original shipping box and all packing material.
This will ensure the AVR 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 AVR only in the original packing material, as the unit
is not insurable by carriers otherwise.
Shipping Carton & Packing Material
CAUTION! To reduce the risk of electric shock and fire, do not remove the cover of this device. There
are no user serviceable parts inside. Please refer all servicing to licensed service technicians.
CAUTION! The international symbol of a lightning bolt inside a triangle is intended to alert the user to
uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the device’s enclosure. The international symbol of an
exclamation point inside a triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important
operating, maintenance and servicing information in the manual accompanying the device.
CAUTION! To prevent electrical shock, match wide blade of plug to wide slot, fully insert.
CAUTION! To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not expose this equipment to rain or moisture.
1. Read Instructions—All safety and operating instructions
should be read before operating the device.
2. Retain Instructions—The safety and operating
instructions should be retained for future reference.
3. Heed Warnings—All warnings on the device and in the
operating instructions should be adhered to.
4. Follow Instructions—All operating and safety instructions
should be followed.
5. Water & Moisture—The device should never be used in,
on or near water for risk of fatal shock.
6. Ventilation—The device should always be located in such
a way that it maintains proper ventilation. It should never
be placed in a built-in installation or anywhere that may
impede the flow of air through its ventilation slots.
7. Heat—Never locate the device near heat sources such as
radiators, floor registers, stoves or other heat-generating
devices.
8. Power Cord Protection—Power cables should be routed
so they are not likely to be stepped on or crushed by items
placed on them or against them. Special attention should
be paid to areas where the plug enters a socket or fused
strip and where the cord exits the device.
9. Periods Of Non-Use—The device should be unplugged
when not being used for extended periods.
10. Dangerous Entry—Care should be taken that no foreign
objects or liquids fall or are spilled inside the device.
11. Damage Requiring Service—The device should be
serviced by licensed technicians when:
• The plug or power supply cord has been damaged.
• Objects have fallen or liquid has spilled inside the device.
• The device has been exposed to moisture.
• The device does not appear to be operating properly or
exhibits a marked change in performance.
• The device has been dropped or the enclosure becomes
damaged.
12. Service—The device should always be serviced by
licensed technicians. Only replacement parts specified by
the manufacturer should be used. The use of unauthorized
substitutions may result in fire, shock, or other hazards.
13. Do not position the equipment so that it is difficult to
operate the disconnecting device (power cord).
14. If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by
the manufacturer, the protection provided by the
equipment may be impaired.
15. The power switch should be in the “off” position when
connecting or disconnecting equipment from a Torus Power
unit.
16. CAUTION Some units can be very heavy, please use
safe practices when lifting.

Placement and ventilation
Allow 1” distance on all sides when positioning the AVR for proper ventilation, and allow 6” behind
the AVR for adequate wiring space. Do not place heat-generating devices directly below the AVR.
Connecting components and using the AVR
Using the AVR is as simple as plugging in audio and video components to the outlets on the rear
panel. The order and position in which you connect your components will not affect the performance
of the AVR or your components. Connect the AVR to the wall outlet, and switch it on. Turn on the
components individually.
While the AVR has built-in software that can be accessed via the Ethernet connection, there is no
need for you to use this software. The AVR system provides all the standard features, performance,
and benefits out of the box by simply plugging it in as described in this section. You can use the AVR
software to monitor the voltage conditions via your computer, and for such additional features as
being able to turn your system on/off remotely and change the duration of displays backlight.
Torus AVR – Description
Torus Power AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulation) is a full-feature state-of-the-art power conditioner,
isolating and protecting your system. Like all Torus Power products, the AVR series provides true
isolation (using massive toroidal transformers) and protects all connected equipment from the risk of
severe power line surges using series-mode surge suppression. In addition, Torus AVR provides
stable voltage to keep equipment running in the optimal range of 115VAC to 125VAC for any input
voltage from 90V to 130VAC. (International units operate within nominal input voltage such as
220V, 230V, 240V; Torus AVR keeps them operating within a range of +/- 10V.). See table on page 7
for more details.
Torus Power AVR series uses a micro-processor to monitor and control the power provided to
connected components. The front panel display on the Torus Power AVR indicates input and output
voltages, and displays output current, as well as displaying fault conditions.
The Torus Power AVR is pre-programmed to power down the system when a high or low fault
conditions occurs (user can over-ride).
There are multiple interfaces built into the Torus Power AVR:
1) Ethernet interface with built-in web browser allows any computer to view voltage and current
readings and turn the AVR unit on or off.
2) RS-232 is provided for connection to media control systems.
3) Two 12V triggers are provided.
Does your system need automatic voltage regulation?
Under ideal conditions, when the supplied power line is stable and dependable, you may not need
voltage regulation. In such an ideal situation, your equipment can operate within the normal
tolerance of the line voltage.
In reality, the power supplied to most areas is less than ideal due to 0utdated power grids. In most
areas, the power regularly drops or rises above the acceptable range (in North America +/– 5V,
Europe/Asia/Australia +/- 10V) . These voltage sags, brownouts, and surges can stress components
and shorten equipment life. In the worst case, catastrophic events can destroy valuable equipment.
In such real-world conditions, Torus Power AVR can protect your equipment, and improve the quality
and enjoyment of your audio and video experience.
