Thank you for purchasing a Furman Series
II Power Conditioner, and congratulations on
choosing the best protection for your elec­tronics. Series II Power Conditioners feature

Furman’s revolutionary SMP+ circuitry, as well
as our exclusive Linear Filtering Technology
(LiFT). Together, SMP+ and LiFT comprise
what is, without question, the world’s most ad­vanced and comprehensive transient voltage
surge suppressor / conditioner.

DE S CR IPT ION

The PS-PRO E II / PE II is a power sequencer,
meaning it is capable of powering a rack full of
equipment in three steps separated by timed
delays. It is useful whenever various kinds of
equipment must be p owered up or down in
groups, rather than simultaneously. In audio sys­tems, sequenced powering is often necessary to
allow turn-on transients from low level amplifiers
and processors to settle down before any power
amps are turned on, because simultaneous
powering would result in a loud, annoying, and
potentially destructive “pop” reaching the speak­ers. And in any large system whose components
present an inductive load to the AC line (includ­ing electric motors, power supplies, and power
amplifiers of all kinds), sequenced powering
can avoid excessive inrush currents that can
cause circuit breakers to trip, even though the
steady-state currents are not excessive. Power
sequencing is particularly suited to applications
where large installations must be switched by
inexperienced personnel.

The PS-PRO E II / PE II is controlled by a front
panel key-operated switch to provide security
from non-authorized users tampering with the
system. The switch has three positions: OFF,
ON, and REM, allowing for local or remote con­trol. With remote control, one or more PS-PRO
