Furman AR-1215 Instruction Sheet

Safety Information
To obtain best results from your Furman AR-1215 or AR-2306, please be
sure to read this manual carefully.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not expose this
equipment to rain or moisture. Dangerous high voltages are present
inside the enclosure. Do not remove the covers. There are no user
serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an
equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the
presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage within the
product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to
constitute a risk of electric shock.
Important Safety Instructions
Please Read Prior to Installation
1. Please read and observe all of the safety and operating instructions
before the AR-1215 or AR-2306 is operated. Retain these instructions for
future reference.
2. The AR-1215 or AR-2306 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 the AR-1215 or AR-2306 near heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances that produce heat.
4. 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
condition of cords and cables at plugs, and the point where they exit from
the AR-1215 or AR-2306. To prevent risk of fire or injury, damaged cords
and cables should be replaced immediately.
5. Clean the AR-1215 or AR-2306 with a damp cloth only. Do not use
solvents or abrasive cleaners. Never pour any liquid on or into the unit.
6. When left unused for a long period of time, the power cord of the
AR-1215 or AR-2306 should be unplugged from the outlet.
7. The AR-1215 or AR-2306 should be serviced by qualified service
personnel when:
a. The power supply cord or the plug has been frayed, kinked, or cut.
b. Objects have fallen or liquid has spilled into the unit.
c. The AR-1215 or AR-2306 has been exposed to rain or other
moisture.
d. The AR-1215 or AR-2306 does not appear to operate normally
or exhibits a marked change in performance.
e. The AR-1215 or AR-2306 has been dropped, or the enclosure
damaged.
8. The AR-1215 or AR-2306 requires that a safety ground be present for
proper operation. Any attempt to operate the AR-1215 or AR-2306
without a safety ground is considered improper operation and could
invalidate the warranty.
9. There are no user serviceable parts in the AR-1215 or AR-2306. Refer
servicing to qualified service personnel only.

AR-Series Features
AR-1215 and AR-1215J provide nine regulated, conditioned
AC outlets—eight on the rear panel and one on the front
AR-1215 and AR-1215J input capacity is 15 A; output
capacity is 12 to 15 A
AR-2306 provides eleven regulated, conditioned AC outlets—
ten on the rear panel and one on the front
AR-2306 input capacity is 6 A ; output capacity is 5 to 6 A
Usable range for most equipment is an additional 10% above
and below the ranges shown in the table below
Extreme overvoltage or undervoltage causes instant shutdown,
protecting equipment

NOTE: The three models in the AR-Series differ in their nominal
AC output voltages. Model AR-1215 produces 120 VAC. Model
AR-1215J produces either 100 or 120 VAC. Model AR-2306
produces either 220, 230, or 240 VAC.
Where differences exist between models, information applicable to
the AR-2306 is shown in the text of this manual in brackets [ ].
FIRST: Select the Correct Voltage!
Before using your Voltage Regulator, be sure that if there is an
output voltage switch on the rear panel (just above the cord, on Mod-
els AR-1215J and AR-2306 only), it is correctly set for the AC voltage
required by your equipment. Each item of equipment that you intend
to power with the Voltage Regulator should have its required voltage
indicated on it, usually on the rear near the cord. If in doubt, consult
your dealer.
