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 transient voltage surge suppressor device to absorb without some degree of damage. In the rare instance that this occurs, the blue “Protection OK” LED indicator will turn off. If this happens, some level of protection from voltage surges will remain, but Furman’s clamping voltage rating will be compromised. The unit must be returned to Furman Sound, or an authorized Furman Service Center for repair.

Mounting

If the Power Station needs to be mounted to the inside panel of a rack or hung from a wall, a convenient crossed oval cutout is provided on the unit’s bottom panel. A standard No. 6 pan head screw can be used in the same way a picture is hung from a wall. Simply measure the centers on the bottom of your Power Station. This will be the distance from the two mounting holes drilled into your wall, rack or cabinet surface. Once the screw is fastened fl ush with the surface, back it out approximately ½”. The screw head should push through the crossed cutout on the bottom surface of the Power Station. Next, simply allow the Power Station to move down and seat into the end of its oval cut-out. Adjust the pan head screw if necessary.
