3.3 Priključak za napajanje

1. Connect the AC power cord to the PSU's power inlet.
2. Uključite drugi kraj AC kabla za napajanje u zidnu utičnicu.

4. Uputstvo za upotrebu

4.1 Uključivanje/isključivanje

1. Flip the power switch on the back of the PSU to the 'ON' (I) position.
2. Pritisnite dugme za napajanje na kućištu računara da biste pokrenuli sistem.
3. To power off, shut down your operating system normally, then flip the PSU power switch to the 'OFF' (O) position if desired for complete power disconnection.

4.2 Semi-Passive Cooling (Zero-RPM Mode)

The Power Zone 2 features a semi-passive cooling mode. The 140mm Pure Wings 3 fan will remain inactive under low system loads, ensuring near-silent operation. As the system load increases and internal temperatures rise, the fan will automatically activate to maintain optimal cooling.

Slika 5: The semi-passive cooling feature ensures the fan remains off during low loads for silent operation, activating only when needed.

After the system load decreases, the fan may continue to spin for 2-5 minutes to ensure proper cooldown before returning to zero-RPM mode. This behavior is normal and designed to prevent frequent fan starts and stops, contributing to fan longevity and quietness.

Slika 6: The fan may run for a short cooldown period (2-5 minutes) after heavy loads to ensure optimal thermal management and prevent frequent cycling.

5. Održavanje

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Power Zone 2 PSU, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• čišćenje: Periodically clean the exterior of the PSU and the fan grille to prevent dust buildup. Use a soft, dry cloth or compressed air. Ensure the power supply is turned off and unplugged before cleaning.
• Protok zraka: Ensure adequate airflow around the power supply. Do not obstruct the fan intake or exhaust vents.
• Upravljanje kablovima: Regularly check that all modular cables are securely connected and not obstructing airflow within the PC case.

6. Otkrivanje problema

If you encounter issues with your Power Zone 2 PSU, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Nema napajanja: Ensure the AC power cord is securely connected to both the PSU and the wall outlet. Verify that the PSU's power switch is in the 'ON' (I) position. Check your wall outlet with another device.
• Sistem se ne pokreće: Double-check all modular cable connections, especially the 24-pin motherboard connector and the 8-pin CPU power connector. Ensure your graphics card(s) are properly seated and powered.
• Intermittent Shutdowns: This could indicate an overload or overheating. Ensure your system's power requirements do not exceed the PSU's 750W capacity. Check for proper ventilation and dust buildup.
• Ventilator se ne okreće: Remember that the Power Zone 2 operates in semi-passive mode. The fan will only spin under sufficient load. If your system is under load and the fan is still not spinning, or if you notice overheating, contact support.
