AC-215 / AC-210 E AC Power Conditioner

2.Your unit should not be used near water – for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, etc.

3.Do not place your unit near heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other appliances that produce heat.

4.The unit should only be connected to a 120 VAC, 60Hz, 15 Amp [230 VAC and10 Amp for the AC-210 E] grounded electrical outlet. Do not defeat the ground or change polarization of the power plug.

5.Route the power cord and other cables so that they are not likely to be walked on, tripped over, or stressed. Pay particular attention to the condition of the cords and cables at the plugs, and the point where they exit your unit. To prevent risk of ﬁ re or injury, damaged cords and cables should be replaced immediately.

6.Clean your unit with a damp cloth only. Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners. Never pour liquid on or into the unit.

7.Your unit should be serviced by qualiﬁ ed service personnel when:

•The power supply cord or the plug has been frayed, kinked, or cut.

•Objects have fallen or liquid has spilled into the unit.

•The unit has been exposed to rain or other moisture.

•The unit does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance.

•The unit has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.

8.Your unit requires that a safety ground be present for proper operation. Any attempt to operate the unit without a safety ground is considered improper operation and could invalidate the warranty.

9.Do not attempt to service yourunit beyond what is described in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to qualiﬁ ed service personnel.

While the AC power delivered by today’s overworked and outdated power grid may be adequate for typical lighting and consumer products, it is well below the level of quality needed for connecting sensitive audio and video equipment. With the average investment in home theater equipment steadily rising, it’s more important than ever to purify or clean your incoming AC power.

Furman’s Series Multi-Stage Protection Plus (SMP+) circuitry incorporates Linear Filtering Technology (LiFT) to insure that ﬂ at screen televisions, projectors, processors, and other sensitive audio/video components are fed linearly-ﬁ ltered AC power. This dramatically reduces noise, ensuring consistent, peak performance from your equipment. The result is better performance, a better quality picture, and less wear on your components.

Another feature unique to Furman’s SMP+ circuit is automatic Extreme Voltage Shutdown (EVS) with a TVZ MOV. Extreme voltages are statistically the most common, damaging AC event. The Extreme Voltage Shutdown circuit automatically turns off the AC-215 / AC-210 E when it is fed 137 volts [270 VAC for the AC-210 E] or higher, protecting itself and connected equipment from the extreme voltage. Only Furman offers this advanced degree of protection.

Furman Sound PMN series products represent a notable advancement in power management technology for professional audio applications. These devices are designed with a focus on delivering clean, reliable power to audio and lighting equipment, ensuring optimal performance in varied environments such as live events, studios, and installations.

One of the key features of the Furman PMN series is its advanced power conditioning capabilities. The built-in Linear Filtering Technology (LiFT) is engineered to significantly reduce noise across the entire audio spectrum, resulting in clearer sound reproduction. This is particularly beneficial for audio professionals who rely on high fidelity in their work. By effectively filtering out electromagnetic and radio frequency interference, the PMN series ensures that equipment operates at its full potential without the distraction of unwanted noise.

Another standout aspect of the PMN series is its robust surge protection. Utilizing the technology of SmartSequencing, these units protect sensitive equipment from power spikes and surges that can occur during live performances or in uncertain electrical conditions. This feature is essential for maintaining equipment longevity and is a vital consideration for professional users who invest heavily in audio gear that can be easily damaged.

The ergonomic design of the PMN units is also worth noting. These devices are housed in durable, rack-mountable chassis that promotes ease of use and enhances portability. Their intuitive front panel displays vital information, such as voltage status and load indicators, allowing users to monitor their systems at a glance.

Additionally, the PMN series includes multiple outlets, providing ample connectivity for various audio and lighting devices. The outlets are often designed with user-friendly considerations, ensuring that cables can be easily accessed and organized, thus minimizing setup time and clutter.

Thermal management in the PMN units is another critical feature. With integrated fans designed to maintain optimal operating temperatures, the systems can handle high loads without risking overheating, thus enhancing reliability during extended use.

Overall, with its combination of noise reduction, surge protection, convenience, and durability, Furman Sound's PMN series stands out as a vital tool for audio professionals. Whether in a studio, on stage, or in a fixed installation, the PMN provides the reliability and performance needed to ensure the highest quality audio experience.
