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.

Overview

While the AC power delivered by today’s overworked and outdated power grid may be adequate for typical lighting and consumer products, it is well below the level of quality needed for connecting sensitive audio and video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 [270VAC for the AC-210 E or 260VAC for the AC-210 E UK] or higher, protecting itself and connected equipment from the extreme voltage. Only Furman offers this advanced degree of protection.
