INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a Furman AC-210A E compact power conditioner,
and congratulations on your choice. The AC-210A E power conditioners
feature Furman’s revolutionary Series Multi-Stage Protection (SMP) circuit,
Extreme Voltage Shutdown (EVS), and our exclusive Linear Filtering Technology
(LiFT). Together, these technologies comprise precisely what our custom-
ers have come to expect from Furman - uncompromised AC protection and
purication. Our AC-210A E has been precisely engineered to exceed the
critical demands of audio/video professionals, contractors, broadcasters, and
musicians alike.
SMP (SERIES MULTI-STAGE PROTECTION)
Furman’s SMP surge suppression virtually eliminates service calls and costly
“down time”. Traditional surge suppression circuits sacrice themselves when
exposed to multiple transient voltage spikes, requiring the dismantling of your
system and repair of your surge suppressor. Not so with Furman’s SMP. Dam-
aging transient voltages are safely absorbed, clamped, and dissipated. Your
connected equipment is protected, while your Furman protects itself!
EVS (EXTREME VOLTAGE SHUTDOWN)
Furman’s trusted over-voltage (EVS) circuitry protects against prolonged
overvoltage conditions. It does so by monitoring the incoming voltage and,
when an unsafe condition is detected, triggering a relay which shuts off the
incoming power until the overvoltage condition is corrected. The unit will reset
automatically when voltage is returned to a safe level.

LiFT (LINEAR FILTERING TECHNOLOGY)
Unfortunately, traditional AC power conditioners have been designed for
unrealistic laboratory conditions. Prior technologies, whether multiple-pole
or conventional series-mode lters, 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 reboot digital presets, or destruction of sensitive
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 AC noise ltering with
no ground contamination.
SAFETY INFORMATION
To obtain best results from your Furman AC-210A E Power Conditioner, please
be sure to read this manual carefully before using.

improper operation and could invalidate the warranty.
9. Do not attempt to service your unit beyond what is described in this manual.
All other servicing should be referred to qualied service personnel.
OPERATION
EXTREME VOLTAGE SHUTDOWN INDICATOR
The Extreme Voltage Shutdown LED is normally off. If an input voltage in
excess of 275VAC is sensed, either on initial power-up or during normal
operation, the AC-210A E will shut off power and this indicator will light.
NOTE: If the mains power is above the high cutoff voltage and has caused the
unit to remove power from its outlets, it cannot restore power until the mains
power returns to a lower nominal level. If the main power remains high, check
the source of the problem, and if necessary, change the AC source.
PROTECTION OK INDICATOR
Although the Furman SMP circuit assures protection from transient voltage
spikes and surges, nature has a way of occasionally creating electrical forces
that are beyond the capabilities of any TVSS device to absorb without some
6
degree of damage. In the rare instance that this occurs, the green “Protection
OK” LED indicator located on your front panel will turn off. If this happens,
some level of protection from voltage surges will remain, but the Furman’s
clamping voltage rating will be compromised. The unit must be returned to
Furman Sound, or an authorized Furman Service center for repair.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Symptom: No power to the AC outlets.
Possible Cause: Circuit breaker has tripped due to excessive load.
Action Needed: Unplug one piece of equipment from the AC-210A E, and
push the re-set tab into the circuit breaker bezel.
Symptom: No power to the AC outlets, even after the circuit breaker has
been re-set.
Possible Cause: Protection devices are damaged.

INTRODUCTION
Nous vous remercions d’avoir acheté un module ltre de AC-210A E de
Furman et nous vous félicitons pour votre choix. Les modules ltres de
la AC-210A E sont munis des circuits de protection contre les surtensions
révolutionnaires de Furman, SMP (Series Multi-Stage Protection) et EVS
(Extreme Voltage Shutdown), et de notre technologie exclusive de ltrage
des parasites LiFT (Linear Filtering Technology). Ces technologies combinées
incarnent exactement ce à quoi nos clients s’attendent de Furman, soit une
protection et une purication du courant AC sans compromis. Les AC-210A E a
été conçue précisément pour excéder les exigences pointues des professionnels
de l’audio-vidéo, des entrepreneurs, des diffuseurs et des musiciens.
SMP (SERIES MULTI-STAGE PROTECTION)
La technologie SMP de Furman élimine presque entièrement les appels
de service et les coûteuses minutes de pannes. Les circuits de protections
traditionnels contre les surtensions doivent être réparés lorsqu’exposés
à des pointes de tension transitoires, impliquant le démantèlement de
votre système. Ce n’est pas le cas avec le circuit SMP de Furman. Les
voltages transitoires nuisibles sont absorbés, contraints et dissipés de
façon sécuritaire. Votre équipement branc hé est protégé, tandis que votre
appareil Furman se protège lui-même!
EVS (EXTREME VOLTAGE SHUTDOWN)
Le circuit de protection contre les surtensions EVS éprouvé protège contre
les surtensions prolongées. Pour y arriver, il sur veille la tension électrique
entrante et, lorsqu’il détecte une situation dangereuse, déclenc he un relai
14
qui coupe l’alimentation jusqu’à ce que la surtension soit éliminée. L’unité se
reposera automatiquement quand la tension est retournée à un niveau sûr.
LIFT (LINEAR FILTERING TECHNOLOGY)
Malheureusement, les modules ltres CA traditionnels ont été conçus
pour être utilisés dans des conditions de laboratoire non réalistes. Les
vieilles technologies, que ce soit des ltres à pôles multiples de modes
conventionnels, pouvaient en vérité nuire au son et à l’image plus qu’elles
n’aidaient à cause des pointes résonnantes issues d’une conception
archaïque non linéaire. Dans cer taines conditions, ces technologies peuvent
en fait ajouter plus de 10 dB de br uit à l’alimentation en CA! Pire encore,
les pointes de tension excessives et la contamination de la mise à terre par
le bruit issu de l’alimentation en CA peuvent mener à la perte de données, à
la nécessité de redémarrer les préréglages numériques ou à la destruction
de convertisseurs numériques sensibles. La tec hnologie LiFT de Furman
emprunte une voie différente, assurant une performance optimale avec un
ltrage linéaire du bruit issu de l’alimentation en CA, sans contamination de
la mise à terre.

OPÉRATION
INDICATEUR DE PROTECTION CONTRE LES SURTENSIONS EXTRÊMES (EVS)
Le circuit SMP de l’AC-210A E détecte les tensions sufsamment élevées pour
endommager vos composants, et coupe l’alimentation avant que les dommages
surviennent. Normalement, le voyant de tension extrême (« Extreme Voltage
») est éteint. Lorsqu’une tension d’entrée supérieure à 275 V c.a. est détectée,
que ce soit à la mise sous tension ou durant l’utilisation normale, l’AC-210A E
coupe l’alimentation électrique et le voyant s’allume.
REMARQUE : Si l’alimentation secteur est au-dessus de la tension de coupure
élevée et a fait couper l’unité la puissance de ses sorties, elle ne peut pas
reconstituer la puissance jusqu’à ce que l’alimentation secteur revienne à un
niveau nominal plus bas. S’il alimentation secteur reste haut, vériez la source
de problème, et si le necessaey, c hangent la source à C.A.
INDICATEUR « PROTECTION OK »
Bien que le circuit SMP de Furman assure une protection contre les pointes
de tension et les surtensions transitoires (TVSS), la nature a le don de créer
parfois des phénomènes électriques qu’aucun dispositif de protection contre
les TVSS ne peut absorber sans dommages. Dans les rares cas où cela se
produit, le voyant vert « Protection OK » situé sur la face avant s’éteint. Il
reste alors un certain niveau de protection contre les surtensions, mais la
capacité de tension de blocage est réduite. L’appareil doit être retourné pour
réparation à Furman Sound ou à un centre de réparation autorisé par Furman.
DÉPANNAGE
