MINIPORT-15, MINIPORT-20

The MINIPORT-20

Power Relay is a

UL/CUL listed,
20 amp, relay
switched 120 VAC
outlet, with a terminal

strip that allows
remote control via
safe, inexpensive, low
voltage Class 2 wiring.

Also available is

the MINIPORT-15
(not shown), which is

functionally identical
except for its 15 amp
rating.

Both models
include an internal 12
VDC supply, and can

be controlled from a
remote location with

MiniPort-20

The Furman models RS-1 and RS-2 are maintained and
momentary key switch panels (respectively) that fit in a single
gang electrical box. For control from more than one location, the
RS-2 momentary switch would be appropriate. See overleaf for
more information.

Multiple MINIPORTs may be connected together so that all
are controlled by a single switch closure, and may be linked so
that all turn on simultaneously or one by one, in a delayed
sequence. If delayed, the delay interval between the turn-on of
one MINIPORT and the next is approximately 3 seconds.
(Delayed turn-on is useful in avoiding large inrush currents
that can trip house circuit breakers, that would otherwise occur
if all amps were turned on simultaneously.) Turn-off always
occurs simultaneously, however.

A Furman PowerLink (see overleaf) can also be used to
control MINIPORT(s). In this use, the MINIPORT(s) are
connected to terminals on the PowerLink, which provide the
necessary control functions. MINIPORTs are similarly
compatible with the Furman PowerPort and ASD-120
Sequenced Power Distro.

With the addition of a PS-REL AC Relay (see overleaf) to
provide control, a MINIPORT can be used to extend the
capacity of any other Furman power product — or, for that

momentary contact
switches.

matter, any product with a switched outlet, such as a receiver/
amp controlled with a wireless remote. When used in this
manner, the MINIPORT is switched on or off when the outlet
that the PS-REL is plugged into goes on or off.

Both the MINIPORT-15 and the MINIPORT-20 come
equipped with two knockout holes for permanent installation
with 1/2" conduit — one on the top surface, the other on the
bottom. Use of the bottom knockout hole requires removing
the AC cord. According to the National Electrical Code, 1/2"
conduit can accommodate up to five 20 amp circuits using ten
THWN 12 gauge stranded wires; however, local codes should
be checked for exact requirements.

MINIPORTs are housed in rugged steel enclosures and
come equipped with a heavy duty, 10 foot AC cord. The
MINIPORT-15 is fused; the MINIPORT-20 is equipped with a
precision magnetic circuit breaker. The MINIPORT-20 and
MINIPORT-15 are UL and CUL (Canadian) listed.

Note: Because of its UL listed 20 amp rating, the
MINIPORT-20 uses a 20 amp AC plug with perpendicular (not
parallel) blades. If in doubt regarding your installation, please
consult an electrician or call the factory.

The MINIPORT-20 is an upgrade of an earlier Furman
MINIPORT. The primary differences are the ability to use
momentary switches, the delayed turn-on option, and the
additional knockout holes.

Dimensions: 5.5" (H) x 3.75" (W) x 2" (D). With mounting
bracket, width is 5.25".

POWER RELAY

MINIPORT-15Q, MINIPORT-20Q

The MINIPORT-20Q (20 amp) and the MINIPORT-15Q
(15 amp), provide a pair of remotely-activated, relay-controlled
outlets, set up for mounting in any standard electrical Quad
Box, either directly or with a
“mud ring” attached.

Due to the space
limitations of a quad box,
the “Q” models have a
smaller feature set than the
MINIPORT-15 and
MINIPORT-20. There is no
internal power supply; a
maintained 10-30VDC supply
capable of supplying 10 mA is
required to turn on the outlets.
This can be supplied by a
Furman PowerLink, or ASD-120.
UL, c-UL pending.

REMOTE SEQUENCER

The PowerLink is a compact, low-cost rackmount remote
sequencer that provides timing for up to six power control
devices, turning them on and off in a preset sequence. The delay
interval between steps is user-adjustable via an internal trimpot.

models include a locking key switch and a “System On” indicator
LED. The RS-2 includes a momentary “Start ON/OFF Sequence”
pushbutton, while the RS-1 is a maintained contact version. The
rear of the panels have a circuit board with a full size barrier strip
for field wiring connections.

The RS-1 and RS-2 can be used to control the Furman
ASD-120 Sequenced Power Distro, the PowerLink, PowerPort
Remote AC Controller, the MiniPort Power Relay series, or the
PS-8R or PS-PRO Power Sequencers, as well as other
equipment that needs a switch contact at a remote location.

Dimensions: 4.75 (H) x 2.75 (W) x 1.5" (D).

PowerLink

A PowerLink can work with a group of relay-controlled outlets
such as MINIPORTs, to create a very flexible power control
system that can expand to handle as many circuits as needed.
An on or off sequence can be initiated from the PowerLink, using
the built-in high-security locking key switch, or, if the key switch is
set to enable Remote operation, by one or more momentary or
maintained-action switches in distant locations.

The outputs of the PowerLink are low power relay contacts,
accessible through rear-panel screw terminal strips. All input and
output commons are electrically isolated to avoid the creation of
ground loops. Normally open and normally closed relay operation
is selectable by internal jumpers. ETL,

C-ETL listed.

Control Panels provide a simple way to

control AC equipment from one or more

A C RELAY ACCESSORY

PS-REL

The PS-REL AC Relay senses the presence of 120 VAC and
closes a SPDT relay. The relay
contacts are available on a
barrier strip. It may be used with
any product that needs a contact
closure in response to AC
voltage.

A common application for
the PS-REL is to extend the
capacity of the switched outlet
found on many home theater
receiver/amps. In this way, a
wireless remote can turn on the
receiver, which in turn powers
its switched outlet, which triggers
the PS-REL, which then activates
a Furman power sequencer,
MiniPort, or PowerPort system
capable of switching many large power amps or other power­hungry equipment in multiple locations, attached to multiple
circuits.
