2. Opsætning og installation
2.1 Placering
The PowerQuest 707 features a rack-mountable design, allowing for seamless integration into standard home theater A/V racks. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit.
2.2 Tilslutning til strøm
- Ensure the PowerQuest 707's power switch is in the SLUKKET position.
- Connect the supplied PQ-715 detachable power cable to the IEC inlet on the rear of the PowerQuest 707.
- Plug the flat-to-wall 45° plug of the power cable into a grounded AC wall outlet. The flat-to-wall design facilitates installation in tight spaces.

2.3 Tilslutning af dit udstyr
The PowerQuest 707 features two types of outlets:
- 4x High-Current Outlets: These outlets are specifically designed for power ampløftere, integreret amplifiers, powered receivers, and powered subwoofers. They minimize AC impedance to the amplifier power supply for optimal performance.
- 8x Ultra-Linear-Filtered Outlets: These outlets are designed for source devices such as CD players, turntables, TVs, and streamers. They are isolated from the High-Current outlets to effectively manage noise.
Connect your audio/video components to the appropriate outlets. Ensure all connections are secure.
3. Betjening
3.1 Tænd/sluk
Once all connections are made, flip the power switch on the front panel to the ON position. The "Protection On" indicator light should illuminate.
Figure 3: Front panel detail showing the power switch and indicator lights.
3.2 Indikatorlys
- Protection On: This light indicates that the surge protection circuitry is active and functioning correctly.
- Overvoltage Beskyttelse: Denne lampe lyser, hvis den indgående AC-volumentage exceeds a safe threshold (140VAC). The unit will automatically shut down power to connected devices and reset once the voltage returns to a safe range.
3.3 Nøgleteknologier
- Ikke-offrelig overspændingsbeskyttelse: The PowerQuest 707 can withstand multiple transient power surges and spikes up to 6000V or 3000A without damage. This protection is designed to be robust and does not degrade over time.
- Ultralineær støjreduktion: This technology provides wide-bandwidth linear filtration across more than 20 octaves, ensuring consistent noise reduction. This contributes to a quieter background and enhanced audio/video clarity.
- Transient-Power Correction: A low-impedance circuit provides a reservoir of 45 amps (peak, up to 25mS) for current-starved amplification components. This ensures uncompressed current on demand, improving dynamic contrasts.
4. Vedligeholdelse
AudioQuest PowerQuest 707 kræver minimal vedligeholdelse.
- Hold enheden ren ved at tørre den af med en blød, tør klud. Undgå at bruge flydende rengøringsmidler eller opløsningsmidler.
- Sørg for, at ventilationsåbningerne ikke blokeres.
- There are no user-serviceable parts inside the PowerQuest 707. Do not attempt to open the chassis.
5. Fejlfinding
| Problem | Mulig årsag | Løsning |
|---|---|---|
| "Protection On" light is off. | Unit is not powered on, or there is no AC input. | Ensure the power switch is ON. Check that the power cable is securely connected to both the unit and a live AC wall outlet. |
| "Overvolumentage Protection" light is illuminated. | Indgående AC voltage er for høj. | The unit has automatically shut down. It will reset once the voltage returns to a safe range. If the problem persists, consult an electrician. |
| Ingen strøm til tilsluttede enheder. | PowerQuest 707 is off, or devices are not properly connected. | Verify the PowerQuest 707 is powered on and the "Protection On" light is illuminated. Check that all device power cables are securely plugged into the PowerQuest 707 outlets. |
| No perceived improvement in audio/video performance. | Perception of improvement can vary based on existing electrical conditions and connected equipment. | Ensure all components are connected to the appropriate outlets (High-Current vs. Ultra-Linear-Filtered). Allow time for your system to acclimate. |
