About the PGP-S
The Furman PGP-S Remote Power Switcher is designed for use with Furman's PlugLock-PRO Locking Outlet Systems models PGP-20 and
PGP-60, which are shown on page 2.
The PGP-S is a rugged, 6" x 6" x 4" junction box with three 20-amp relays. It also allows remote control via safe, inexpensive, low-voltage Class
2 wiring. Each of the three circuits is separately controlled by its own REM input terminal.
The PGP-S is designed specifically for mounting on the end of a PGP-20 or PGP-60, and serves as a main junction box for all power
interconnects. It includes an internal 12 VDC supply, and can be controlled from remote locations using the PowerLink, ASD-120, or, for simpler
jobs, the Furman RS-1 and RS-2 Remote System Control panels. The RS-1 provides a maintained key switch; the RS-2 has a momentary switch in
addition to a key for security. (Please see the Furman data sheet "Remote Control Products" or visit the Furman web site for more detailed
information.)
Multiple PGP-S's may be controlled by a single switch closure, or by the PowerLink's or ASD- 1 20's control signals.
Momentary vs. Maintained Contact Switching
An on-off switch of either kind may be used to actuate the three 20-amp circuits available on the PGP-S. Maintained switches, such as most
toggle switches, push-on/push-off button switches, stay open until thrown, then stay closed until thrown
1-9934
again. Power will be available at the PGP-S circuits when the switch is open, and will be removed when it is closed.
Maintained switches are most convenient when there is only one remote switch location; momentary switches allow turn-on or turn-off from
multiple locations. Momentary switches, usually pushbutton types, are normally open and stay closed only as long as the button is pressed.
The PGP-S is factory-configured for maintained operation. Its three 20-amp circuits may be easily converted to momentary operation by moving
jumpers on the internal circuit board. To do this, first disconnect the unit from AC power. Remove the two screws that secure the cover. On the
circuit board, there are six pairs of terminals, three labeled "MAINTAINED" and the other three "MOMENTARY." There are small black jumpers
linking the MAINTAINED terminals. Slide them up and off, and replace them securely over the MOMENTARY terminals. Reattach the cover.
Maintained Mode
In the simplest configuration, to control all PGP-S circuits from a single remote location, connect a maintained-action SPST switch
to the REM 1, 2, 3 and +12V terminals. The Furman RS-1 Remote System Control Panel is an attractively finished key switch
designed for use in single-gang wall mount boxes. From one location, it can control most Furman power products that have
RS- 1 remote capability. If the cable run is greater than
150 feet, we recommend that the REM wire be tied to ground
during ON operation rather than leaving it floating, using a SPDT
switch. (The RS-1 provides for the use of a ground wire, if
desired.)
Momentary Mode
In Momentary Mode, the PGP-S has "memory."
It needs only a momentary signal on the remote
terminal to change its state from OFF to ON, or ON
to OFF.
