[. . . ] Another critical feature is our exclusive Series Multi-Stage Protection Plus. This virtually maintenance-free surge suppression assures the highest level of AC protection possible, without sacrificing itself when the offending surge is severe ­ no damaged equipment, no ELITE 15 OWNER'S MANUAL service calls, no down time. Our digital AC voltage meter allows precise measurement of the incoming AC line voltage, (a valuable asset when monitoring systems that are connected to today's potentially poor power grids). Further, our famous retractable front panel LED lamps allow easy viewing of either a rack or cabinet full of equipment, even when your theater lights are off. [. . . ] Soft Start - Continuous Use When power is first applied to the Elite-15, (the front panel breaker- power toggle must be switched to the "on" position) the Soft Start feature is activated. There is an audible "clack" when the Elite-15 is first turned on or off. This sound is produced by the Soft Start circuit's 30 Amp relay engaging or disengaging. There is Connections: AC Cable Routing The Elite-15's male Edison AC cord must be connected to an appropriate socket (see current rating recommendation above). Connecting Components to the Digital Video Component AC Outlet Banks The Elite-15's four "Digital - Video Component AC Outlets" should be employed for critical 3 ELITE 15 OWNER'S MANUAL virtually nothing in the Elite-15's construction, design, or componentry to wear over the life time of the product, and there is no power draw from your electric service meter aside from the LED power indicator, lamps, and relay circuits. For this reason the Elite-15 may be left with its power engaged permanently at a cost of pennies per month. Transient Voltage Surge Suppression device to absorb without some degree of damage. In the rare instance that this occurs, the blue LED located in the center of the front panel will dim, even though AC power is present at the unit's outputs. If this happens, some level of protection from voltage surges will remain, but the Furman's clamping voltage rating will be compromised. The unit must be returned to Furman Sound, or an authorized Furman Service center for repair. NOTE: If the mains power is above the high cutoff voltage and has caused the unit to remove power from its outlets, it cannot restore power without the operator manually turning the unit off, then on again. Avoid turning the unit back on, without first checking the source of the problem, and perhaps changing the AC source. Telco ­ Satellite ­ Cable Transient Voltage Surge Suppressors The Elite-15 features transient voltage surge suppression for both standard telephone lines, as well as cable or satellite lines utilizing standard coaxial connectors. As these surge suppressors are in-line, they will require an additional cable to connect from their output to the control device requiring protection. All in-line surge suppressors feature our exclusive ground contamination free technology. This aids in eliminating audio buzzing, and the video hum-bars that can result from typical in-line suppressors. Further, our cable and satellite suppressors are TIVO friendly as well as HD-Digital Television ready. Both DC carrier signals as well as high bandwidth signals can pass through our circuit. In fact the bandwidth is less than 0. 1dB loss at 1GHz! 4 AC Transient Voltage Surge Suppression and Extreme Voltage Shutdown Extreme Voltage Shutdown Indicator: This LED is normally off. It monitors AC wiring faults ­ for example, accidental connection to an open neutral from a 208 or 240VAC feed (this is a common occurrence if the 15 Amp outlet source is not a dedicated line, but instead has been wired with a daisy-chained neutral from a homes breaker box). The Series Multi-Stage Protection Plus (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 any part of this Limited Warranty is determined to be void or illegal, the remainder shall remain in full force and effect. Warranty claims should be accompanied by a copy of the original purchase invoice showing the date of purchase (if a Warranty Registration Card was mailed in at the time of purchase or if the product was registered on-line, this is not necessary). Before returning any equipment for repair, please be sure it is adequately packed and cushioned against damage in shipment, and that it is insured. 6 ELITE 15 OWNER'S MANUAL Elite 15 SPECIFICATIONS AC Current Capacity: Input - 15 Amp capacity required Output - 15 Amps RMS (maximum, all outlets combined - continuous) Linear Noise Attenuation: Transverse (Differential) Mode: >40 dB from 10Khz.
