Introduction

Belkin Power Console

Thank you for purchasing the Belkin Power Console PF60. The Power

Console is designed to clean, protect, and efficiently distribute power to your

valuable home theater system. Belkin ensures that every movie you watch

and every album you hear is as clean and clear as possible.

The Power Console is packed with innovative features to provide you with

the best home theater experience. Ordinary household AC power that is

delivered to your home is polluted with “noise” from many sources within

your home, including digital components and household appliances. The

Power Console’s advanced Phase 5 PureFilter Circuitry is optimized to

remove electrical noise and provide clean and clear power to all of your

valuable digital audio and video equipment. The multiphase PureFilter

Circuitry also provides true isolation between audio, video, and digital

components. This isolation prevents noise created by components that

are already connected to the Power Console from contaminating other

connected equipment. In addition, the Power Console contains Advanced

Overvoltage Protection, which automatically disconnects power from your

equipment when the input voltage reaches a dangerous level, and restores

power automatically when the voltage returns to a safe level.

We also realize that the aesthetics of your system are very important. For

this reason, we enlisted some of the top industrial designers in the country

to design the housing for the Belkin Power Console. The minimalist

styling of the Power Console combines function with a simplistic yet

elegant design and is a great complement to any system. The integrated

multifunction LCD combines all essential controls with a versatile voltage

and current monitor.

As you may know, your AC power source is not the only threat to the

safety of your equipment. This is why the Belkin Power Console has three

sets of coaxial connections to protect your coaxial-cable lines.

Providing the ultimate home theater experience is the driving force behind

the Belkin design, providing the clearest picture and cleanest sound from

your components to you. Thank you again for purchasing the Belkin Power

Console PF60.

Clear Picture – Clean Sound. Belkin.

Step 2

Program the Outlet Banks

Each outlet bank on the rear panel of the Power Console is programmable.

Using the slide switches on the rear panel, you can program the outlets for

switched or unswitched, and for delay or always-on (no delay) (Fig. 2). You

can also determine the length of the delay (5, 10, or 15 seconds).

A. Outlet Banks Always-On (unswitched): For components that need to

retain memory or other settings (DVRs, satellite receivers, VCRs), set

the top slide switch to “Always ON” (Fig. 2a). These outlet banks will

always supply power when the Power Console is plugged into the wall.

B. Outlet Banks Switched On (no delay): Set the top slide switch to

“Switched”. Make sure that the lower slide switch is set to “No Delay”

(Fig. 2b). The outlet banks will be immediately powered-on when the

Power Console is switched-on by pressing the “Switched” button on the

front of the unit. Switched outlets can also be switched-on by external

remote signal (see page 15). These outlets will remain powered-on for a

short period of time after switching them off depending on the “Delay

Time” setting (see “Delay Time Switch” below).

C. Outlet Banks Switched On After Delay: You may find it necessary to

program your outlets to switch on after a delay. Once the delay is set,

the outlets will be powered-on after the outlets that are set for “no

delay” have powered-on. They will then power-off in reverse sequence:

“delay” outlets will power-off first and “no delay” outlets will power-off

last. This is useful to avoid the loud and occasionally damaging “thump”

created when the amplifier voltage is stabilizing.

a. Set the top slide switch to “Switched” and the bottom slide switch to

“Delay” (Fig. 2c).

b. Repeat this for each bank that you want to be switched on after a

delay.

c. Press the “Switched” button on the front of the Power Console to

activate all of the switched outlets

Note: The delay can only be set on “Switched” outlets.

D. Delay Time Switch: This switch sets the length of delay for all outlet

banks that are programmed as “Switched” and “Delay”. Set the delay

time by selecting 5, 10, or 15 seconds (Fig. 2d). 15 seconds is the

recommended delay time for tube amplifiers.

Hookup and Installation

E. Trigger Out: The trigger out function gives you the ability to control an

external device equipped with a remote trigger such as a retractable

movie screen when the Power Console is switched on. The 12-volt DC

OUT port accepts a 1/8” mini plug cable. Set the “Trigger Out” switch

to “Delayed” and the Trigger Out will power an external device after a

delay set by the Delay Time Switch. If you do not want a delay then set

the “Trigger Out” switch to “Switched” (Fig. 2e).

Troubleshooting

Power Console is not providing power

• Check to ensure that the Power Console is plugged into a properly

grounded AC wall outlet. Some outlets require a wall switch to be turned

on in order to deliver power to the outlet.

• Too many devices may be plugged into the Power Console, which are

overloading the unit and tripping the overload circuit breaker. The Power

Console is not designed to handle current loads larger than 15 Amps

or 1800 watts. Try unplugging some devices and resetting the circuit

breaker located on the end of the Power Console.

To reset the circuit breaker: Wait at least 10 minutes after

the circuit breaker was tripped before attempting to reset the

breaker. Press in the button located next to the power cord on the

end of the unit to reset. Power should be restored to the outlets

is not switched on. Check to ensure that the “Switched ON” indicator

on the Control Panel is illuminated. If the light is not illuminated, press

the “Switched” button on the front of the Power Console unit until the

“Switched ON” indicator is illuminated. You should now have power to all

of the switched outlets.

• Your components may not be turned on. Power may be flowing from the

Power Console, but if the power switch on your component is not turned

on then your component cannot receive power. Turn on the power switch

on your component.

• The Power Console is designed to stop delivering power to all outlets

when the surge-protection circuitry is not functioning properly or is

expired. Call Belkin Customer Service for assistance.

• The Power Console may be defective. Call Belkin Customer Service for

assistance.
