Notes on Operating the iPS10

• The iPS10 is intended as a backup power supply for iLive system  components. At the time of release of this user guide it can be used with any of the 4 surfaces (iLive-80, iLive-112, iLive-144 and iLive-176) and the iDR0 DSP MiniRack. These components can operate using their internal mains power units only. Connecting the iPS10 in addition to the internal supply provides dual supply redundancy. The component can be operated with either or both supplies switched on. It continues to operate without interruption if either supply is switched off or loses power.
• The iPS10 features a universal mains voltage input that can accept any AC mains voltage between 100 and 240V AC. We recommend that it is run on the same power distribution that feeds the iLive unit being connected to. For protection against temporary loss of mains power an external UPS (uninterruptible power supply) could be used.
• Make sure the iPS10 and the iLive unit being connected to are both turned off before plugging or unplugging the mains and DC POWER cables.
• Blue LED indicators on the CPU module at the rear of the iLive surface light to indicate that the power supplies are switched on and working correctly. There is one for the internal surface supply and one for the backup supply. The iPS10 sends power good/fail status signals to the iLive via its 10way DC cable.
• The iPS10 front panel blue POWER ON indicator lights at full brightness to indicate normal operation. If a voltage rail fault is detected then it reduces to half brightness. If this happens, switch the unit off and contact your Allen & Heath service agent.
• The iPS10 has an internal fan to assist cooling and ventilation. The fan runs at constant speed. Thermal protection is provided to safely shut down the power rails if the unit reaches 85 degrees C internally. If this happens check that the fan is running, the ventilation slots are not blocked and there is adequate airflow around the unit. Switch the unit off and allow it to cool. When it has cooled sufficiently it automatically resets and resumes operation.
• The CAT5 cable provided with the unit is used to send the temperature status to the iLive. The current temperature measured within the iPS10 is displayed on the iLive Surface TouchScreen Utility/Diagnostics/Temperature Display page. The minimum and  maximum temperatures reached are also displayed. These values can be reset.
