OWNER’S MANUAL

ABOUT AVS 2000

Thank you for purchasing Monster Power’s Home Theatre Reference

Automatic Voltage Stabilizer AVS 2 . AVS 2 is designed

to stabilize power line fluctuations and maintain constant voltage

to your home theatre.

Voltage sags (below the standard RMS value of 12 volts)

are often caused by power- hungry appliances like clothes washers,

air conditioners, and electric heaters, which draw more power

(over 15 watts) than your house was designed to support.

This can have a direct effect on home theatre components,

including amplifiers and two piece projection systems, which require

a lot of power to operate at an optimum performance level.

As a result, the picture can lose brightness and suddenly

shrinkin size. Amplifiers change gain structure which results

in nasty distortions. They also won't deliver peak power,

dropping from 1 watts to as low as 6 watts, for example.

Your home theatre is very power hungry, too, often drawing

twice as much power as a washer and air conditioner combined.

This can cause even more voltage sags and ultimately,

inferior home theatre performance.

With AVS 2 , all your high power devices will maintain

the stability needed to deliver peak power and performance.

You’ll enjoy the smoothest, most natural sound and the sharpest,

brightest picture possible with vivid color. And, thanks to AVS 2 ’s

sequential turn-on feature, your high power loads can operate

at peak performance without causing unnecessary electrical stress

that can often pop a circuit breaker or damage your components.

About Noel Lee, The Head Monster

The driving force behind the success of the AVS 2 and the entire Monster Power family is Noel Lee, The Head Monster.

Noel is best known for popularizing the concept of high performance audio cable over 2 years ago with his creation

of Monster Cable. Originally a laser-fusion design engineer at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and later

a touring musician, Noel has invented or co-invented over 125 U.S. and international patents and drives the explosive

growth of The Monster Group into more than 8 countries worldwide. Monster Power is his realization of a long-nurtured

vision of making affordable power solutions that deliver the best possible sound and picture. The Head Monster

AVS 2000 FEATURES

1. Unswitched Outlets: Provide power to components

or Monster PowerCenters regardless of the status

of the Sequential Power On/Off button (1 ).

2. Switched Outlets: Provide power to connected

components only when the Sequential Power On/Off

button (1 ) is initiated.

3. Delay Programming: Sets the powerup delay time

for the switched outlets (see Fig.3, below left).

4. 3-30v DC n: Allows AVS 2 ’s“power on”function

to be controlled by other remote enabled units

(such as the Monster Power®Home Theater

Reference HTS 5 PowerCenter).

5. 6-12v DC Out: Allows AVS 2

to control other remote enabled units

“power on”function.

6. Thermal Circuit Breaker: Protects the AVS 2

from power overload.

7. Ground Post: Provides a ground reference point

for ungrounded components.

Outlet banks 1-4 of your AVS 2 are “switched”outlets. This means you can program them for sequential turn-on. Sequential

turn-on is one of AVS 2 ’s key features, helping maintain the peak performance of your components. Without sequential turn-on,

you’d power all your devices at once, causing unnecessary electrical stresses known as “turn-on surge.”Turn-on surge can overheat

system connections, pop circuit breakers, and degrade overall system performance. By sequentially powering your high power loads,

you can prevent turn-on surges and deliver all the stable voltage needed to maintain peak performance.

The four switched outlets located on the back of the AVS 2 can be individually programmed to delay power-up between

1 to 6 seconds. This means in order to program each outlet, you must use the slide switches seen in Figure 3.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING – Power Sources

Do not plug your Monster AVS 2 into a power outlet that differs

from the source indicated for safe use on the Monster AVS 2 .

If you don’t know the type of electrical power that is supplied

to your home, please consult your local power company.

WARNING – Grounding and Polarization

A. Your Monster AVS 2 has a three-wire grounding-type

AC plug (a three-prong plug). This plug is designed to be inserted

into a grounding-type outlet only. If this plug doesn’t fit directly

inside your outlet, do not attempt to force it into the outlet.

Contact a local electrician to install the proper polarized outlet.

Never attempt to dismantle the plug in any way (or to alter

an extension cord) to make it fit into a two-prong outlet.

Do not attempt to defeat the grounding feature by using

a 3-to-2 prong adapter. Instead, call a local electrician

to install a properly grounded outlet.

B. If you use rooftop devices such as satellite dishes, antennas,

or any other component with wire that connects to your AVS 2 ,

be sure the wire(s) is properly grounded. Use grounding techniques

specified in Section 81 of the National Electrical Code (NEC),

ANSI/NFPA 7 (in Canada, Part 1 of the Canadian Electrical Code).

This protects against voltage surges and static charges. Do not place

any part of an antenna near overhead power lines, or any other

power circuit. Do not touch any power line or power circuit. Doing so

may cause you severe physical injury and possibly result in death.

WARNING – Storm Precautions

In the event of a lightning storm, immediately disconnect incoming

signal and power lines (e.g., cable and telephone).

WARNING – No User Serviceable Parts Inside

If, for any reason, your Monster AVS 2 is not operating properly,

do not remove any part of the unit (cover, etc.) for repair. Unplug

the unit and consult this owner’s manual for warranty and service information.

CAUTION – Exposure To Heat

Do not expose your Monster AVS 2 to direct sunlight or place

it near wall heaters, space heaters, or any enclosed space prone

to temperature increase (e.g., car trunk).

WARNING – Liquid: Avoiding Electrical Shocks

Do not operate your Monster AVS 2 if liquid of any kind

is spilled onto or inside the unit. Do not operate your

Monster AVS 2 near rain or water that’s spilled or openly

exposed (e.g., bathtub, kitchen or bathroom sink).

WARNING – Power Cord Safety

A. When routing your Monster AVS 2 AC power cord, do not place

it near heavy foot traffic areas (e.g., hallways, doorways, and kitchen floors).

Do not create a trip hazard with the power cord.

B. If your power cord’s protective jacket begins to rip or fray,

exposing the internal wiring, shielding, etc., disconnect

it from the power source and discontinue use of the

Monster AVS 2 immediately. Please see warranty information.

WARNING – Proper Cleaning

In general, the only cleaning necessary for your Monster AVS 2

is a light dusting. Unplug your component from the wall outlet

before cleaning it. Do not use any type of liquid or aerosol cleaners.

WARNING – Medical Conditions

AVS 2 is not designed for use with any medical equipment.

PROBLEM – The AVS 2 is not receiving power.

Possible Cause #1

The AVS 2 is not turned on.

SOLUT ON

•Make sure the AVS 2 ’s AC power plug is plugged

into a properly grounded 12 V wall outlet.

•Press the ON button on the AVS 2 .

•In some households, a wall switch may need

to be thrown to make the wall outlet come alive.

Try turning on the light switches located near

the wall outlet powering the AVS 2 .

Possible Cause #2

Too many devices are connected, causing an overload,

tripping the thermal circuit breaker. Please note:

The total power consumption on all the components

144 watts continuous or 18 watts peak.

SOLUT ONS

•Disconnect any component that may

be overloading the AVS 2 .

•Press the AVS 2 ’s thermal circuit breaker

(labeled BREAKER 15A on the back panel)

button in to reset. Please allow 1 minutes

from the time the circuit breaker is initially

tripped before attempting to reset. If you reset

too soon, the breaker will prematurely sense

power overload and not allow unit to operate.

Possible Cause #3

The AVS 2 is defective.

SOLUT ON

•Please see warranty information.

PROBLEM – AVS 2 is not providing power

to the components.

Possible Cause #1

The component is plugged into a “switched outlet”

and the AVS 2 has not been turned on.

SOLUT ONS

•Press the ON button on the AVS 2 and wait

for a few seconds for the components plugged

into the AVS 2 ’s“switched outlets”to be turned on.

•Or, plug the component into an “unswitched”outlet.

Possible Cause #2

The AVS 2 is defective.

SOLUT ON

•Please see warranty information.
