SERIES II 16 AMP POWER CONDITIONERS

I N T R O D U C T I O N

Thank you for purchasing a Furman Series II Power Conditioner, and congratulations on choosing the best protection for your electronics. Series II Power Conditioners feature Furman’s revolutionary SMP+ circuitry, as well as our exclusive Linear Filtering Technology (LiFT). Together, SMP+ and LiFT comprise what is, without question, the world’s most advanced and comprehensive transient voltage surge suppressor / conditioner.

SMP+

Furman’s SMP+ surge suppression incorporates multiple protection technologies including MOV’s along with a powerful filter to remove noise from the AC line, making it the most advanced and reliable power conditioning technology available. Unique to Furman’s SMP+ is its unparalleled clamping voltage. While other designs clamp at voltages that are well above 450 Vpk, SMP+ clamps at 376 Vpk, (266 VAC RMS). This unprecedented level

of protection is only available with Furman’s SMP+ technology. Additionally, Furman’s trusted over-voltage circuitry protects against those all-too-frequent accidental connections

to 380 VAC, by shutting off the incoming power until the over-voltage condition is corrected.

LiFT (Linear Filtering Technology)

Unfortunately, traditional AC filter / conditioners have been designed for unrealistic laboratory conditions. Prior technologies, whether multi- pole filter or conventional series mode, could actually harm audio and video performance more than they helped, due to the resonant peaking of their antiquated, non-linear designs. Under certain conditions, these designs could actually add more than 10 dB of noise to the incoming AC line! Worse still, digital data loss, the need to re-boot digital pre-sets, or destruction of digital converters are frequently caused by excessive voltage spikes and AC noise contaminating the equipment ground. Furman’s SMP+ with LiFT takes another approach, ensuring optimal performance with linear filtering and zero leakage to ground.
