INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a Furman F1500-UPS Uninterruptible Power Supply, and congratulations on your choice. The F1500UPS
Uninterruptible Power Supply features 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 customers have come to expect from Furman - uncompromised AC protection and purification. Our F1500-UPS 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
sacrifice 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. Damaging transient voltages are safely absorbed, clamped, and dissipated. Your connected equipment is protected, while your Furman protects itself!
Unique to Furman’s SMP is its unparalleled clamping voltage, defined as the amount of voltage that is allowed to pass through to
your equipment when the protection device is subjected to a transient surge or spike. While other designs offer clamping voltages
that are well above 330 Vpk, Furman’s SMP clamps at 188 Vpk, (133 VAC RMS) even when tested with multiple 6000 Vpk - 3000
amp surges! This unprecedented level of protection is only available with Furman’s SMP technology.
EVS (EXTREME VOLTAGE SHUTDOWN)
Furman’s trusted over/under-voltage (EVS) circuitry protects against prolonged overvoltage conditions, such as accidental connections to 208 or 240 VAC, or an intermittent neutral. 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 over/under-voltage condition is corrected.
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 filters, 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 filtering with no ground contamination.

CAUTION! To avoid electrical shock, turn off the unit and unplug it from the AC power source before installing a component.
CAUTION! DO NOT USE WITH OR NEAR AQUARIUMS! To reduce the risk of fire, do not use with or near aquariums. Condensa-
tion from the aquarium can come in contact with metal current contacts and cause the machine to short out.
NOTE: AC Power management devices, such as a UPS, have certain limitations with regard to reactive loads and wattage. The
F1500-UPS has a handling capacity of 1500VA or approximately 7.5 amps. Excessive power consumption beyond these specifications can affect battery life and performance.
INSTALLATION
Recharging the battery of your F1500-UPS for at least six to eight hours is highly recommended to insure that the battery’s
maximum charge capacity is achieved prior to initial use. Charge loss may occur during shipping and storage. To recharge the
battery, simply leave the unit plugged into an AC outlet. The unit will charge in both the ON as well as the OFF position. If you wish
to use the software, connect the enclosed USB cable to the USB port on the F1500-UPS and an open USB port on the computer
or server.
DO NOT plug a space heater, vacuum cleaner, paper shredder or other large electrical device into the F1500-UPS. The power
demands of these devices will overload and possibly damage the unit.
Plug the F1500-UPS into a 2 pole, 3 wire grounded receptacle. Make sure the wall branch outlet is protected by a fuse or circuit
breaker and does not service equipment with large electrical demands (e. g. refrigerator, copier, etc.) Avoid using extension
cords. If used, the extension cord must be UL or CSA Listed, minimum 14 AWG, 3-wire grounded, and rated for 15 Amps.
The F1500-UPS will automatically charge the battery whenever it is plugged into an AC outlet. To maintain optimal battery
charge, leave the F1500-UPS plugged into an AC outlet at all times.
NOTE: To store your F1500-UPS for an extended period, cover it and store with the battery fully charged. Recharge the battery
every three months to ensure battery life.

ADVANCED OPERATION
A connection to a UPS can benefit projector bulbs, server based products, and units with volatile electronic memories found in but
not limited to Pro Audio, Broadcast, and High-End Home Theater equipment. The F1500-UPS takes this to the next level with a number of features designed specifically for AC Power back-up applications.
Critical Load Function
One of the user programmable settings in the F1500-UPS software is the Low Battery Non-Critical Load (NCL) Shutoff threshold.
This sets the battery capacity level at the point where the NCL outlets are turned off and all remaining battery power is reserved
for equipment plugged into the 4 critical load outlets. This value is stored internally by the UPS and is not dependent on having the
software running on a computer.
Patent-pending Learning IR Control
The learning IR function lets you program the F1500-UPS to send standby or shut-down commands to components such as DLP
ceiling projectors. If the power fails, the projector’s lamps are turned off while the F1500-UPS continues providing battery power to
the projector’s cooling fan. Proper shutdown is ensured and expensive lamps are protected from damage.
NOTE: This function should only be used with discrete IR codes. Programming an On/Off toggle command could result in the
10
equipment being turned ON during a power failure!
IR Power Failure Operation
The F1500-UPS can learn two IR commands. The learned commands will be transmitted on both output jacks so you have the
ability to control 2 different pieces of equipment or use a 2-step macro for one component.
1. After a power failure and the selected delay, the IR codes will be sent to both outputs. The IR LED’s will flash once per
second during the delay time and will stop flashing after the IR code is sent.
2. If the delay settings are the same for both IR1 and IR2, the IR2 code will be sent to both outputs 2 seconds after IR1.
3. The IR commands will also be transmitted immediately after the battery charge falls below the critical load battery
threshold. This ensures that equipment will be shutdown properly if the F1500-UPS’s load level is extremely high and the
backup time would be less than the selected IR output delay.
4. There is no IR output after the power is restored to the system.
ENGLISH
FRANÇAIS
To program IR output:
1. From the setup menu, turn the Menu Navigation Knob until IR1 Setup is displayed. Push the Menu Navigation Knob to
select.
2. Turn the Menu Navigation Knob until IR1 Program is displayed.
3. The screen will display the message “READY TO SAMPLE REMOTE”. Press the button on the remote.
4. If the signal was learned, then the screen will display the message “IR1 SAMPLED” and advance to the “TEST IR” screen.
Press the navigation knob to test.
5. If the signal was not learned, the screen will display the message “IR1 SAMPLE FAIL”, then it will return to the IR1 Pro
gram screen. Repeat steps 3 and 4.
6. To program another IR device, from the Setup menu, turn the Menu Navigation Knob until IR2 Setup is displayed. Follow
steps 3-5.
RS-232 Communications Protocol & Command Set
The RS-232 serial interface can be used in the following ways:
1. Initial system setup. An installer can use a notebook computer to set the variables within the Power Control software. Once the
setup is completed, the notebook computer can be disconnected. All settings are stored in the F1500-UPS.
2. Connection to a PC or Network: Functionality is very similar to a standard UPS with a PC. The F1500-UPS can provide continued power to maintain recording capabilities of any number of devices in the event of a black out or brown out. It is also capable
of saving open documents and shutting down the PC during extended power failures. This requires a permanent RS-232 connection to the PC and having the Power Control software running in the background on the PC. (Windows based OS only; Mac Energy
Saver software compatible)
ESPAÑOL
3. Integration with sophisticated automation systems like AMX® and Crestron®: The serial communications command set and
protocol is open and is published later in this manual. This information can be used by the automation system programmer for
both F1500-UPS control by the automation system and reporting of power events by the F1500-UPS to the automation system.
Command Set/Status Messaging
The following commands are applicable when communicating with your F1500-UPS using the included RS-232 interface. These
commands can also be used when directly connecting to the device via Telnet protocol with the BlueBOLT-CV1 interface card
(sold separately).
