Momentary Mode; Multiple Units - Furman PS8 R II Owner's Manual

NOTE: In Maintained Mode, DO NOT uSE
the "START ON-OFF SEQuENCE" switch
on the front panel. Doing so may activate an
unintended sequence. If a Furman RS-1 is the
controlling switch, contact Furman's Tech Support
department for the proper wiring diagrams.

MOMENTARy MODE

(JuMper plug Installed on JMp2).
The PS-8R II has "memory" - it only needs a
momentary signal from the remote switch to
change its state from ON to OFF or OFF to ON.
When first plugged in (or after power is lost and
reapplied) the "memory" state is OFF. This means
the unit will be OFF even if the front panel on/off
rocker switch is ON. It will stay off until sequenced
on by a momentary connection of the REM
terminal to +12V terminal. The sequence starts
on the rising edge of the signal.
The front panel START ON-OFF SEquENCE
switch is in parallel with, and functionally
equivalent to, one or more remote momentary
switches connected to the barrier strip in the rear.
The "memory" is independent of the front panel
on/off rocker switch. This means that even if
the unit is sequenced OFF by the rocker switch

on the front panel, when the rocker switch is
turned back on the unit will sequence back on
—it will not be necessary to push the START
ON-OFF SEquENCE button again. The unit will
"remember" its state until the incoming power is
lost, at which time it will default back to OFF.
The front panel rocker is not the primary means of
control in momentary mode and should normally
be left ON. It may be a useful secondary means of
control in the rare case where several PS-8R II's
are in parallel and there is some reason to shut
down one unit without affecting the others.
Because it is a maintained-contact switch, the
RS-1 is not an appropriate remote switch for
the PS-8R II when it is in momentary mode. The
momentary-contact RS-2 would be the correct
choice.

MuLTIPLE uNITS

More than one PS-8R II can be used to manage
loads that exceed 15 amps. The power input
for each PS-8R II should come from a separate
15 amp AC circuit. To control multiple PS-8R
II's remotely with one or more remote switches,
connect the REM, +12V, and GND terminals of all
units together. Be sure that the mode (momentary
or maintained) of each unit is set the same.
Connect a single maintained switch or one or
more momentary switches to the nearest PS-8R
II, as discussed above. If you are unsure whether
your building's wiring can accommodate multiple
fully-loaded PS-8R II's or PS-8R II E's, consult a
qualified electrician.
If multiple PS-8R II's are controlled by one or more
momentary remote switches, they will all change
state (from ON to OFF or vice versa) on each
rising edge of the voltage on the REM terminal.

STATUS
All remote switches or grey pushbuttons on any
LED
unit's front panel will toggle all of the units ON.
The rocker switch on each unit's front panel will
turn OFF any individual unit currently ON without
affecting the other units.
To address the unusual (hopefully rare) instance
when several PS-8R II's in parallel fall out of sync,
resulting in some units turning ON and others
turning OFF when a remote button is pushed, the
