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.

Some installations will require placement of
this power conditioner within sight of your video
screen. When the rooms lights are fully dimmed
for video viewing this can be an annoyance, so
we have included a dim switch on the rear of the
unit. This will not disable the indicator; it simply
reduces its brightness.
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 rst checking the source of the problem,
and perhaps changing the AC source.

surge suppressors
The Elite-16 PF E features transient voltage
surge suppression for both cable and 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 of our 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!
To connect your cabling to these in-line protectors,
simply follow the in and out indications marked
next to the Cable and Satellite connectors.
Note:
It is not possible to make an in-line cable or
satellite protector “maintenance-free” as we
have accomplished with the 120 VAC line. This
would necessitate limited signal bandwidth
that would not allow the signal to pass. Under
extreme conditions, it is possible that the surge
suppression in one of these devices could
sacrice itself after a catastrophic event. If the
cable or satellite connector becomes deformed
in any way due to an extreme lightening strike,
please contact your local service representative,
installer or Furman Authorized service center.
