1. Suggested Ac Connections

Operation and Continuous Use

Power Switch/Circuit Breaker and LED Power Indicator

Once the AC cords are properly connected to the AC source tap, and the components

are connected to the appropriate outlet banks, it is safe to energize the Niagara 1000

On the bottom end of the Niagara 1000's chassis, there is a black rocker switch Firmly

press the rocker switch so that its upper portion is flush with the end-cap or panel

This position is marked with the number "1 " Typically within a couple of seconds, you

should hear an audible "clack" sound from the relay within the Niagara 1000 At the

same time, the front-panel LED power indictor will glow blue, signifying that the unit

is operational (If this does not occur, see the "Trouble-Shooting Guide" in this manual )

Extreme Voltage Indicator

One portion of the Niagara 1000's non-sacrificial surge protection is dedicated to a

fast-acting extreme voltage shutdown circuit If more than 140VAC is present on the

incoming AC line for more than a quarter of a second, the circuit will instantly open a

high-current relay that will disengage the AC power from all of the Niagara 1000's AC

outlets, activating the red LED "Extreme Voltage" warning indicator Once the event has

passed, or the building wiring fault has been corrected, the circuit will automatically

re-engage

Break-in Time/Continuous Use

The Niagara 1000 is made of a variety of passive and active components Though every

attempt has been made to reduce the necessity of so-called "break-in, " "burn-in, " or "run-

in" time—including high-power run-in of every critical capacitor in the Ultra-Linear

Noise-Dissipation Circuits—the Niagara 1000 will benefit from continuous use, just like

any other audio/video component This is not to say that you will be made to "suffer"

through weeks or months of intolerable performance until that "magic day" when the

parts are fully formed and ready On the contrary, the Niagara 1000 will perform very

well from the first moment you use it It will improve gradually, in small increments,

over a period of approximately two weeks While leaving the Niagara 1000 turned on

during this period will aid the process, it is also perfectly acceptable to turn the unit off;

doing so will simply increase the time it takes to reach final "break-in "

The Niagara 1000 has a five-year warranty, but it was designed to last for over two

decades Provided that the Niagara 1000 is used inside a home, store, studio, or office

with a reasonable climate (45 degrees to 100 degrees Fahrenheit, with less than 20%

humidity), it can be left on continuously; there are no parts that will wear out
