Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the PS-PRO II, and congratulations on your choice. The Series II power conditioners feature Furman’s revolution- ary Series Multi-Stage Protection Plus (SMP+) circuit, as well as our exclusive Linear Filtering Technology (LiFT). Together, these technologies comprise, without question, the world's most advanced and comprehensive transient voltage surge suppressor / conditioner.

SMP+ (Series Multi-Stage Protection Plus)

Furman’s SMP+ surge suppression virtually eliminates service calls. Traditional surge sup- pression circuits “sacrifice” themselves when exposed to multiple transient voltage spikes, re- quiring the dismantling of your system and repair of your surge suppressor. With Furman’s SMP+, however, damaging transient voltages are safely absorbed, clamped, and dissipated.

Unique to Furman’s SMP+ is its unparalleled clamping voltage. While other designs offer clamping voltages that are well above 330 Vpk, SMP+ clamps at 188 Vpk, (133 VAC RMS). This unprecedented level of protection is only available with Furman’s SMP+ technology. Ad- ditionally, Furman’s trusted over-voltage circuitry protects against all too frequent accidental con- nections to 208 or 240 VAC, by shutting off the incoming power until the over voltage condition is corrected.

[For E versions: Furman’s SMP+ clamps at 376 VpK, (266 VAC RMS.)]
