Description
Torus Power PIUs (Power Isolation Units) combine the best
surge suppression with unique toroidal transformer
technologies from PLITRON to provide the ultimate in AC
power conditioning and protection for sensitive audio and
video equipment applications.
using a highly efficient Faraday screen.
Low-impedance output provides the most unconstrained, yet
protected, energy source available to your equipment.
PIUs use ZeroSurgeâ patented series-mode surge removal
filters to absorb dangerous voltage surges and safely dissipate
them without using failure-prone MOVs (metal oxide
varistors). Also, unlike MOV-based protection, voltage surges
are not shunted to ground.
Isolation is combined with proven proprietary technologies
from PLITRON in the over-sized toroidal transformer. NBT
works as
a
low pass filter using the controlled leakage
inductance and capacitances within the transformer to
effectively reduce noise. LoNo technology has been used for
years by high-end audio companies who demand silent
transformers. UST provides additional common mode filtering
Shipping Carton & Packing Material
Placement & Ventilation
Please keep the original shipping box and all packing material.
This will ensure the PIU is protected in future transport.
Torus Power PIUs are extremely efficient devices, however,
they are also very high-power devices, and must be
adequately cooled.
In the unlikely event you have a problem and must return it for
service you must use the proper packing material.
PIUs have ventilation slots on the base, and the cover.
Maintain at least 1” distance from each of these surfaces to
anything else. Should your installation conditions be
constricted, additional forced air-cooling may be necessary.
Ship the PIU only in the original packing material, as the unit is
not insurable by carriers otherwise.
Do not install the PIU directly above heat-generating
equipment.
Maintain at least 6” behind the PIU for adequate wiring space.

Circuit Protection
Illuminated Power Switch / Circuit Breaker
The front panel power switch is also
a circuit breaker. As a circuit breaker,
it prevents excessive current from
entering the PIU.
When the power is on, the switch is
illuminated. When the breaker trips,
the switch returns to its “off”
position.
Thermal Protection
Torus PIUs will shut-down if internal
unit temperature reaches excessive
levels.

Ground Stud
Wall Receptacles
Torus PIUs are high-power products.
The outlets they are plugged into
should be sufficient to provide the
current to operate them without
tripping circuit breakers within your
junction panel.

Warranty
Torus Power products are warranted to be free from
manufacturing defects for a minimum of five years from the
original date of sale. This includes parts, labour and return
shipping to the first registered owner and all subsequent
registered owners. Warranty coverage is extended to
applicable products registered or having proof-of-purchase
(sales invoice, etc.).
In the event of a defect or malfunction, Torus Power will
remedy the problem by repair or replacement, as we deem
necessary, to restore the product to full performance.
This warranty is considered void if the defect, malfunction or
failure of the product or any component part was caused by
damage (not resulting from a defect or malfunction) or abuse
while in the possession of the customer. Failure to fully comply
with Torus Power operating instructions, voids the warranty.
