Safety Information - Furman P-1800 PF Prestige Series Owner's Manual

LiFT (Linear Filtering Technology)
Furman's Linear Filtering Technology (LiFT) reduces AC line noise in an even, linear manner across a very wide bandwidth, resulting
in a lower noise floor. Traditional AC filter - conditioners have been designed for unrealistic laboratory conditions - whether multiple
pole filters or conventional series mode, prior technologies could actually harm audio and video performance more than they help,
due to the resonant peaking of their antiquated, non-linear designs. Under certain conditions, these designs can actually add more
than 10 dB of noise to the incoming AC line. Worse still, lost digital data, the need to re-boot digital pre-sets, or destroyed digital
converters are frequently caused by excessive voltage spikes and AC noise contaminating the equipment ground. Furman's LiFT
takes a different approach, ensuring optimal performance through linear filtering with no contamination, or leakage, to ground.
Additional Features
Additionally, the P-1800 PF offers a tri-color multi-segment LED AC voltage meter that displays incoming voltage in 2-volt steps. The
voltmeter's accuracy is ±2.0 volts. This informs the user whether the voltage is in or out of a safe range, even from a distance too
great to accurately read the displayed voltage.
The P-1800 PF is equipped with four rear panel outlets. All outlet banks are electrically isolated from each other to minimize cross-
talk between components. The High Current bank features 2 high-current outlets for components such as amplifiers and powered
monitors.
The P-1800 PF's 15 amp capacity is supplied from a robust 14awg, 10 foot AC cord.

SAFETY INFORMATION

To obtain best results from your Furman Prestige 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 un-insulated dangerous voltage within the product's enclosure that may be of suf-
ficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock!
CAUTION
The equipment rating is 15 ampere, it should be connected to a rated 20 ampere receptacle of the branch circuit.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(Please read prior to installation)
1. Please read and observe all safety and operating instructions before installing your Furman Prestige Series Power Conditioner.
Retain these instructions for future reference.
2. Your Prestige Series Power 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 Prestige Series Power Conditioner near high heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other ap-
pliances that produce extreme heat.
4. The Furman P-1800 PF should only be connected to a 120 VAC, 60Hz, 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 at-
tention to the condition of the cords and cables at the plugs, and 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 Prestige Series Power Conditioner with a damp cloth only. Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners. Never pour liquid
on or into the unit.
7. Your Prestige Series Power 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 spilled into the unit.
• The unit has been exposed to rain or extreme moisture.
