If this happens, some level of protection from voltage surges will remain, but the Furman’s clamping voltage rating will be compromised. The unit must be returned to Furman Sound, or an authorized Furman Service center for repair.
Dimming the Protection OK Front Panel Indicator
Some installations will require placement of this power conditioner within sight of your video screen. When the rooms lights are fully dimmed for video viewing this can be an annoyance, so we have included a dim switch on the rear of the unit. This will not disable the indicator; it simply reduces its brightness.
NOTE: If the mains power is above the high cutoff voltage and has caused the unit to remove power from its outlets, it cannot restore power without the operator manually turning the unit off, then on again. Avoid turning the unit back on, without first checking the source of the problem, and perhaps changing the AC source.
Satellite – Cable
Transient Voltage
Surge Suppressors
The Elite-16 PF E features transient voltage surge suppression for both cable and or satellite lines utilizing standard coaxial connectors. As these surge suppressors are in-line, they will require an additional cable to connect from their output to the control device requiring protection.
All of our in-line surge suppressors feature our exclusive ground contamination free technology. This aids in eliminating audio buzzing, and the video hum-bars that can result from typical in-line suppressors. Further, our cable and satellite suppressors are TIVO friendly as well as HD-Digital Television ready. Both DC carrier
signals as well as high bandwidth signals can pass through our circuit. In fact the bandwidth is less than 0.1dB loss at 1GHz!
Toconnectyourcablingtothesein-lineprotectors, simply follow the in and out indications marked next to the Cable and Satellite connectors.
Note:
It is not possible to make an in-line cable or satellite protector “maintenance-free” as we have accomplished with the 120 VAC line. This would necessitate limited signal bandwidth that would not allow the signal to pass. Under extreme conditions, it is possible that the surge suppression in one of these devices could sacrifice itself after a catastrophic event. If the cable or satellite connector becomes deformed in any way due to an extreme lightening strike, please contact your local service representative, installer or Furman Authorized service center.
