customer. Otherwise, a one year warranty ap­plies. Products must have a proof of purchase
from a Furman authorized dealer. During
this period, Furman will make any necessary
repairs without charge for parts or labor. Ship­ping charges to the factory or repair station
must be prepaid by the owner; return-shipping
charges (via UPS Ground) will be paid by Fur­man.

This warranty applies only to the original
owner and is not transferable. Also, it does not
apply to repairs done other than by the Fur­man factory or Authorized Repair Stations.

This warranty may be cancelled by Furman at
its sole discretion if the RS-1 or RS-2 unit has
been subjected to physical abuse or has been
modified in any way without written authoriza­tion from Furman. Furman’s liability under the
warranty is limited to repair or replacement of
the defective unit.

Furman will not be responsible for incidental or
consequential damages resulting from the use
or misuse of its products. Some states do not
allow the exclusion of incidental or consequen­tial damages, so the above limitations may not
apply to you. This warranty gives you specific
legal rights, and you may also have other
rights which vary from state to state.

Warranty claims should be accompanied by a
copy of the original purchase invoice showing
the purchase date (if a Warranty Registration
Card was mailed in at the time of purchase,

this is not necessary). Before returning any
equipment for repair, please read the impor­tant information on service, which follows.

NOTE: In the interest of continuous product
improvement, product specifications and in­stallation requirements are subject to change
without notice.

SERVICE

Before returning any equipment for repair,
please be sure that it is adequately packed
and cushioned against damage in shipment,
and that it is insured. We suggest that you
save the original packaging and use it to ship
the product for servicing. Also, please enclose
a note giving your name, address, phone num­ber and a description of the problem.

NOTE: All equipment being returned for re­pair must have a Return Authorization
(R/A) Number. To get an R/A Number, please
call the Furman Service Department, (707)
763-1010 ext. 120 or 121, between 8 a.m. and
5 p.m., U.S. Pacific Time. Please display your
R/A Number prominently on the front
of all packages.

MAINTAINED CONTACT
REMOTE CONTROL PANEL

The RS-1 Remote System Control Panel is an
attractively finished key switch designed for
use in single-gang wall mount boxes. It can
control, from one location, all Furman power
products that have
remote capability, such
as the Furman AR-PRO,
ASD-120, MiniPort-15,
MiniPort-20, PowerLink,
the PowerPort, PS­8R, and the PS-PRO.
Multiple units can be
controlled simultane­ously.

The RS-1 features a
two-position key oper

­ated switch, an indicator
LED, and can be easily
installed in any electrical switch box with a mini­mum depth of 1-1/4”. On the rear is a printed
circuit board with a standard size terminal strip
for wiring connections.

The RS-1 may also be compatible with other
AC power distribution and sequencing prod­ucts. Our Technical Support team will be
happy to advise you on your specific installa­tion needs.

Dimensions: 4.75” (H) x 2.75” (W) x 1.25” (D).
Finish: black epoxy powder coat.

MOMENTARY CONTACT
REMOTE CONTROL PANEL

The RS-2 Remote System Control Panel is
identical to the RS-1 in most respects, but with
a momentary function rather that maintained.
The key switch offers an enable/disable func­tion.

The RS-2 can control
multiple power products
by wiring their control
inputs in parallel. The
RS-2 is ideal for instal­lations requiring multiple
remote switches. For in­stallations requiring only
one remote maintained
contact switch, we rec­ommend the RS-1.

The RS-2 may also be
compatible with other AC power distribution
and sequencing products. Our Technical Sup­port team will be happy to advise you on your
specific installation needs.

RS-1 AND RS-2 WIRING
INSTRUCTIONS

Connecting the RS-1 or RS-2 Remote Control Panel
is easy. For the simplest of installations, a single pair
cable will suffice (standard 24-28 AWG telephone
wire is fine). This allows ON/OFF control only. To
enable the RS-1 or RS-2’s SYSTEM ON indicator, it
will be necessary to run a 2-pair cable.

Both Remote Control Panels are clearly labeled
on the rear panel adjacent to the terminal strip. For
single-pair wiring, connect the +V terminal of your

power product to the +V terminal of the RS-1 or RS-

2.

Next, connect the REM terminal of your power
product to the REM terminal of the RS-1 or RS-2,
and your installation is complete. Most newer Fur­man products default to ON if the REM input is left
open or tied to GND. This allows normal front panel
operation if the unit is not being used with a remote
control panel.

It is recommended that where long wire runs (> 200
ft.) or noisy environments are encountered, 2-pair
cable be run, even if the indicator is not needed.
This allows rejection of AC noise and interference
by tying the REM input to GND when the unit is on.

For installations using 2-pair cable, +V and REM

connections are identical; just add wires from the
STAT terminal to STAT terminal, and GND terminal
to GND terminal.

Though the connection doesn’t require a shielded
cable, in particularly noisy environments a shielded
cable can be used by connecting the shield between
the GND terminals of the product and the RS-1 or
RS-2.

THREE YEAR
LIMITED WARRANTY

The Furman RS-1 and RS-2 are protected by a
limited three year warranty, covering defects in
materials and workmanship, provided that the
registration card is filled out and returned
