SMP+ (Series Multi-Stage Protection
Plus):
Furman’s SMP+ surge suppression virtually eliminates service calls.
Traditional surge suppression circuits sacrifice themselves when exposed
to multiple transient voltage spikes, requiring the dismantling of your
system, and repair of your surge suppressor. Not so with SMP+. With Furman’s
SMP+, damaging transient voltages are safely absorbed, clamped and dissipated
- no sacrificed parts, no service calls, no down time.
Unique to Furman’s SMP+ is its unparalleled clamping voltage, even
when tested beyond the grueling specifications of - USA/CIDA’s A-1-1
test. While other designs offer clamping voltages that are well above
300VAC peak (far beyond long accepted professional standards), Furman’s
SMP+ clamps at 188VAC peak, 133 VAC RMS even when tested with multiple
6000VAC - 3000 Amp surges! This unprecedented level of protection is only
available with Furman’s SMP+ technology.
LiFT (Linear Filtering Technology):
Unfortunately, traditional AC filter/conditioners have been designed for
unrealistic laboratory conditions. Prior technologies could actually harm
audio and video performance more than they help, due to the resonant peaking
of their antiquated, non-linear designs. Under certain conditions, these
designs can actually add more than 10 dB of noise to the incoming AC line!
Worse still, lost digital data, the need to reboot digital presets, or
destroyed 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 through
linear filtering and no leakage to ground.
E.V.S. (Extreme Voltage Shutdown):
Furman’s trusted overvoltage circuitry protects against all too
frequent accidental connections to 208 or 240VAC by shutting off the incoming
power until the overvoltage condition is corrected.
Rear Panel BNC Connector:
For rear panel illumination, a BNC connector is provided for connection
of any standard gooseneck lamp, such as the Furman GN-LED or GN-I (sold
seperately).
Sequencing:
The Furman PS-PRO II Power Conditioner/Sequencer is capable of powering
up a rack full of equipment in a 3-step delayed sequence. The sequence
is reversed for power-down. The sequence can be initiated with either
momentary or maintained switches, locally or remotely. A duplex outlet
is provided for each delay step. A front panel screwdriver adjustment
sets the delay time for the Furman PS-PRO II. The Furman PS-PRO II also
features a locking switch with a removable key for maximum security. One
or more Furman PS-PRO II's may be installed in remote locations and operated
via low-voltage wiring. The Furman PS-PRO II includes a rear mounted BNC
jack which accepts any standard (12VAC, 0.5A) gooseneck lamp for rear
rack illumination, as well as a front panel switch which controls the
gooseneck's operation
Optional Accessories:
The Furman PS-REL relay accessory allows a Furman PS-PRO
II to be turned on by sensing AC at a preamp's switched outlet; also allows
daisy-chaining for 6 or more delayed outlet groups.
