Introduction
Before You Begin Inspect Upon Receipt
Congratulations and thank you for choosing the Furman CN-15MP or CN20MP Miniport. We assure you that your Miniport will provide many years
of trouble free operation. The Miniport Power Sequencer is equipped with
Furman’s exclusive SmartSequencing™ technology. SmartSequencing™ defines a whole new level of power management and control while
streamlining installations from start to finish.
Why choose Furman?
At Furman Sound, we have spent the last 30 years quietly obsessing
about professional audio and how to best separate your equipment from
the noise and damage often associated with AC power. Over the years we
have developed a multitude of technologies that have spared countless
devices from damage and earned the trust and respect of the Professional A/V industry. The Contractor series represents the culmination of our
engineering expertise and leverages more than 30 years of experience.
Why choose AC power sequencing?
Many pro audio/video installations need audio power amplifiers to activate
last. Our solution is the AC power sequencer. The power sequencer provides AC power to outlet groups one at a time, thus allowing equipment to
be powered up and down in an orderly fashion by first providing power to
signal processing equipment and then providing power to the amplifiers.
When shutting down the A/V system, a sequencer will turn off the system
in the reverse order, hence the amps will be turned off first, and then the
signal processing equipment will be turned off last.
The box should contain the following items:
1) Miniport CN-15MP or CN-20MP
2) Quick Start Guide
3) Phoenix –Type Connectors

CN-15MP Quick Start Guide
This is necessary because, as most sound reinforcement professionals
know, the majority of equipment damage occurs when devices are either
being powered up or powered down. Power sequencing allows equipment to power up in sequence which prevents the dreaded speaker “pop”
associated with on off switching of signal processing equipment while
the audio power amplifiers are energized. If the signal processing “pop”
is amplified sufficiently, the result can damage amplifiers and speaker
components. Because it prevents this unwanted, and often costly, circumstance, AC power sequencing is extremely valuable.
Furman Contractor Series equipment allows sound reinforcement equipment to be remotely powered up or powered down over a large distance,
not just in the immediate vicinity of the operator. A remotely mounted
switch or control pad can be used to sequence equipment on or off. In
addition, Furman Contractor Series remote functions can be initiated
across a room, on-site, or off-site with our BlueBOLT technology.
The Miniport SmartSequencer fulfills many power sequencing requirements that have very difficult to achieve in the past. Furman SmartSequencing™ delivers an end-to-end solution right out of the box! Please
review this manual to discover how the Miniport with SmartSequencing™
can deliver professional results for you.

SmartSequencing™
Furman SmartSequencing™ is a contractor-friendly technology that
makes AC power sequencing easy to employ by non-technical personnel. Using SmartSequencing technology, multiple Furman Contactor
Series units can be linked together over distances up to 1000 feet using
inexpensive two conductor wire. These same two wires not only control
the sequencers, but also form the backbone of an amazingly robust
and reliable communication system through which information about
status, voltage, current, and power can be queried from any device in the
SmartSequencing network.
Generally, high-priced automation systems are used for large, innovative
installs, yet these control systems seldom combine AC power distribution
and bidirectional sequencing. SmartSequencing™ provides the answer
right out of the box by offering a simple approach to AC power management and control. Furman’s newest power sequencing technology is
an end-to-end solution that is operational up to 1000 feet via a nonpolarized, isolated current loop. In situations where power sequencing is
critical, or more than one AC electrical circuit is utilized, wiring Furman
SmartSequencing™ products in series is simple, fast and reliable.
EVS (EXTREME VOLTAGE SHUTDOWN)
Furman’s trusted (EVS) over-voltage detection protects against prolonged
over-voltage conditions, such as accidental connections to 208 or 240
VAC or an intermittent loss of neutral. It does so by continuously monitoring the incoming AC voltage and when an unsafe condition is detected,
a relay shuts off the power to the outlets until the overvoltage condition
has subsided. The Miniport also allows the EVS shut-down feature to be
overridden. The Extreme Voltage Shutdown technology is a tremendous
asset.
The Miniport is a member of Furman’s Contractor series of devices. All
members of the Contractor series can be controlled remotely using an
integral data-link and command API. The remote access feature delivers
integration with various control systems. The API provides a rich set of
commands and queries that allow remote control and situational awareness over large distances. Furman’s optional BlueBOLT® RS-232-toEthernet adaptor provides additional control programming and monitoring
from any Web-enabled device via Telnet, direct HTTP connection, or www.

Security and Safety
The Miniport is readily adaptable to a wide range of installation requests
and requirements. It was designed from the ground up to be out-ofbox compatible with Furman legacy and third party equipment. Forced
Off inputs and selectable DIP switch settings are provided to allow easy
interface to devices, such as alarm systems.
Additional Features
The Miniport is equipped with LED indicators to provide visual aid in
tracking conditions such as power, protection, sequencing and communication. The Miniport CN-15MP is supplied by a 14 AWG, 10 foot AC cord.
And the Miniport CN-20MP is supplied with a 12 AWG, 10 foot AC cord.
