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.
SMP+
Furman’s SMP+ surge suppression
incorporates multiple protection technologies
including MOV’s along with a powerful filter to
remove noise from the AC line, making it the
most advanced and reliable power conditioning
technology available. Unique to Furman’s
SMP+ is its unparalleled clamping voltage.
While other designs clamp at voltages that are
well above 450 Vpk, SMP+ clamps at 376 Vpk,
(266 VAC RMS). This unprecedented level
of protection is only available with Furman’s
SMP+ technology. Additionally, Furman’s
trusted over-voltage circuitry protects against
those all-too-frequent accidental connections
to 380 VAC, by shutting off the incoming power
until the over-voltage condition is corrected.
LiFT (Linear Filtering Technology)
Unfortunately, traditional AC filter / conditioners
have been designed for unrealistic laboratory
conditions. Prior technologies, whether multipole filter or conventional series mode, could
actually harm audio and video performance
more than they helped, due to the resonant
peaking of their antiquated, non-linear designs.
Under certain conditions, these designs could
actually add more than 10 dB of noise to the
incoming AC line! Worse still, digital data
loss, the need to re-boot digital pre-sets, or
destruction of digital converters are frequently
caused by excessive voltage spikes and AC
noise contaminating the equipment ground.
Furman’s SMP+ with LiFT takes another
approach, ensuring optimal performance with
linear filtering and zero leakage to ground.

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not
expose this equipment to rain or moisture.
Dangerous high voltages are present inside the
enclosure. Do not remove the covers. Refer
servicing to qualified personnel only. The
lightning flash with an arrowhead symbol is
intended to alert all users to the presence of
dangerous un-insulated voltages within the
product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient
magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock.

(Please read prior to installation)
1. Read all safety and operating instructions
before installing your Series II unit. Retain
this manual for future reference.
2. Do not use your Series II unit near water
– for example, near a bathtub, washbowl,
kitchen sink, laundry tub, swimming pool, or
in a wet basement.
3. Do not operate your Series II unit near
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other heat
sources.
4. Connect your PL-PRO E II, PL-PRO DE II,
or PM-PRO E II only to a 220 – 240 VAC,
50 Hz, 16 amp grounded electrical outlet.
Do not defeat the ground or change the
polarization of the power plug.
5. Do not make or break connections to the
PowerCon outlets of “P” models while the
unit is switched on.
5. Route the power cord and other cables
where they are not likely to be walked on,
tripped over, or stressed. Pay particular
attention to the condition of the plugs, and
to cords and cables at the point where they
exit your Series II unit. Replace damaged
cords and cables immediately to prevent
risk of fire or injury.
6. Clean your Series II unit with a damp cloth only.
Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners.
Never pour liquid on or into the unit.
7. Your Series II unit should be serviced by
qualified service personnel if:
• The power supply cord or the plug has
been frayed, kinked, or cut.
• Objects have fallen or liquid has spilled
into the unit.
• The unit has been exposed to rain or other
moisture.
• The unit does not appear to operate normally.
• The “Protection OK” indicator is not lit.
• The unit has been dropped, or the
enclosure has been damaged.
• The retractable LED lights have failed (not
applicable to the PM-PRO E II).
8. Your Series II unit requires that a safety
ground be present for proper operation. Any
attempt to operate the unit without a safety
ground is considered improper operation
and could invalidate the warranty.
9. Do not attempt to service your Series II unit
beyond what is described in this manual.
All other servicing should be referred to
qualified service personnel.
