Additional Features - Furman P-8 PRO C Manual Del Propietário

3. Do not place your P-8 PRO C unit near heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances that produce
heat.
4. The P-8 PRO C should only be connected to a 120 VAC, 50/60Hz, 20 Amp grounded electrical outlet. Do not defeat the ground or
change the polarization of the 20 Amp 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 atten-
tion to the condition of the cords and cables at the plugs, and the point where they exit your P-8 PRO C unit. To prevent risk of fire
or injury, damaged cords and cables should be replaced immediately.
6. Clean your P-8 PRO C with a damp cloth only. Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners. Never pour or spray liquid on or into the
unit.
7. Your P-8 PRO C should be serviced by qualified 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.
• The "Protection OK" indicator is not lit.
• The unit has been dropped, or the enclosure has been damaged.
8. Your P-8 PRO C 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 your P-8 PRO C beyond what is described in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to qual-
ified service personnel.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

Rear Rack Lights:
The P-8 PRO C features a rear mounted BNC jack that accepts any standard (12V 0.5 Amp) goose-neck lamp for rear rack illumina-
tion. Simply slide the BNC plug over the socket and rotate clockwise until the connector snaps into the locked position. The rear
rack lamp can be powered on or off with the rear light power switch located on the far left side of the front panel.
Magnetic Circuit Breaker:
The P-8 PRO C has a magnetic circuit breaker / power switch for the front and rear outlets. This 20 Amp magnetic circuit breaker
switch is fast-acting, but also specifically designed to stand up to the enormous high inrush current demands of many Power Am-
plifiers. Additionally, the breaker is recessed to protect it from accidental power operation.
Extreme Voltage Shutdown (EVS) Indicator:
This LED is normally off. It monitors a hazard common in the entertainment industry: wiring faults – for example, accidental con-
nection to 220VAC where 120VAC is expected, or an open neutral from a 208 or 240VAC feed. The P-8 PRO C SMP+ circuit senses
voltages that are so high that operation would be impossible and shuts the power down before damage can occur. Upon initially
applying power to these units, the Extreme Voltage indicator LED will light if the input voltage is above the extreme voltage cutoff,
and power will not be applied to the unit's outlets. If the unit has been operating with an acceptable input voltage and suddenly
that voltage exceeds 135V, the unit will shut off power to the outlets and the Extreme Voltage LED will light.
Note: The EVS circuit latches on when triggered. If the main power is above the high voltage cutoff and has caused the unit to
remove power from its outlets, the unit will not restore power until the operator manually turns the unit off, then on again. If the
EVS protection has triggered, please verify that the line voltage has returned to normal conditions before turning the unit back on.
PROTECTION OK Indicator:
Although the Furman SMP circuit virtually assures protection from transient voltage spikes and surges, nature has a way of oc-
casionally creating electrical forces that are beyond the capabilities of any Surge Protection Device to absorb without sustaining
some degree of damage. In the rare instance where damage occurs, the green "PROTECTION OK" LED indicator located on your
front panel will either dim or extinguish. If this happens some level of protection from voltage surges will remain, but your
P-8 PRO C's clamping voltage rating will have been compromised. The unit must be returned to Furman Sound, or an authorized
Furman Service center for repair.
