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overworked and outdated power grid may be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 [270 VAC
for the AC-210 E] or higher, protecting itself
and connected equipment from the extreme
voltage. Only Furman offers this advanced
degree of protection.
