Testing the IT-Reference 16 E’s GFCI once a year is recommended. Simply press the button marked “GFI TEST.” If the GFCI is functioning properly, this will cause the main circuit breaker/power switch to trip and cut off power. After verifying the GFCI’s proper operation, simply restore power by switching the Circuit Breaker/Power Switch to the “1” position.

Voltage Shutdown

Extreme Voltage Shutdown Indicator:

This LED is normally off. It monitors AC wiring faults – for example, accidental connection

to an open neutral (in some countries) could put well over 300 VAC RMS onto the mains outlet. When the Series Multi-Stage Protection

Plus (SMP+) circuit senses voltages that are so high that operation would be impossible, it shuts the power down before damage can occur. Upon initially applying power to these units, the Extreme Voltage indicator LED will light if the input voltage is above the extreme voltage cutoff, and power will not be applied to the unit’s outlets. If the unit has been operating with an acceptable input voltage and subsequently that voltage exceeds 270

VAC, it will shut off power to the outlet and the Extreme Voltage LED will light.

Protection OK Indicator:

Although the Furman SMP circuit assures virtually maintenance free protection from transient voltage spikes and surges, nature has a way of occasionally creating electrical forces that are beyond the capabilities of any
