SAFETY INFORMATION

To obtain best results from your Furman Classic Series power conditioner, please read this manual carefully before using.
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 cover. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only. The lightning flash
with an arrowhead symbol 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 safety and operating instructions before installing your Furman Classic Series power
conditioner. Retain these instructions for future reference.
2. Your Classic Series conditioner should not be used near water – for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen
sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool.
3. Do not place your Classic Series conditioner near high heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or
other appliances that produce extreme heat.
4. The Furman PL-8 C should only be connected to a 120 VAC, 50Hz/60Hz, 15 amp grounded electrical outlet. Do not
defeat the ground or change polarization of the power plug.
5. Route the AC power cord and other cables so that they are not likely to be walked on, tripped over, or stressed.
Pay particular attention to the condition of the cords and cables at the plugs and at the point where they exit your
Furman conditioner. To prevent risk of fire or injury, damaged cords and cables should be replaced immediately.
6. Clean your Furman conditioner with a damp cloth only. Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners. Never pour liquid
on or into the unit.
7. Your Furman conditioner should be serviced by qualified service personnel when:
• The power supply cord or the plug has been frayed, kinked, or cut.
• Objects have fallen or liquid has been spilled into the unit.
• The unit has been exposed to rain or extreme moisture.
• The unit does not appear to operate normally.
• The "Protection OK" indicator is not lit.
• The unit has been dropped, or the enclosure has been damaged.
• The retractable LED lights have failed.
8. Your Furman conditioner requires that a safety ground be present for proper operation. Any attempt to operate the
unit without a safety ground is considered improper operation and could invalidate the warranty.
9. Do not attempt to service your Furman conditioner beyond what is described in this manual. All other servicing
should be referred to qualified service personnel.

OPERATION

RETRACTABLE SMOOTH TRACK RACK LIGHTS, REAR PANEL LAMP AND DIMMER CONTROL:
The Furman Classic Series power conditioners utilize a dimmer control for the two retractable Smooth Track light tubes.
The dimmer knob controls the brightness of both front panel lamps. Turn it clockwise to increase brightness; turn it
counterclockwise to decrease brightness. The knob is also a momentary power switch for the lamps: push it in to turn
the lamps on or off. When the lamps are not in use, we recommend turning the dimmer fully counterclockwise, or push-
ing the knob to the off setting to maximize the life of the LED's. Whether the light tubes are fully extended or flush with
the front panel, there will be no appreciable heat regardless of the dimmer setting due to the efficiency of our full light
spectrum LED's.
All Furman Classic Series Conditioners feature a rear rack BNC socket which will accept any 12 VAC (0.5A) gooseneck
lamp assembly (such as the Furman GN-LED or GN-I). Simply slide the BNC plug over the socket and rotate clock-
wise until the connector snaps into the locked position. The rear rack lamp can be powered on or off with the rear light
switch which is adjacent to the BNC connector.
