Furman PM-PRO/E II

The most widely recognized and trusted name in AC power conditioning is proud to introduce the PL-PRO II, PL-PRO D II and PM-PRO II power conditioners, featuring Furman’s revolutionary SMP+ technology. Furman’s Series Multi-stage Protection (SMP+) circuit also features our exclusive Linear Filter Technology (LiFT) coupled with Extreme Voltage Shutdown (EVS) and a high current TVZ-MOV. Together, these technologies comprise what is, without question, the world’s most advanced and comprehensive transient voltage surge suppressor.

SMP+ (Series Multi-stage Protection Plus)

Furman’s SMP+ surge suppression virtually eliminates service calls. Traditional surge suppression circuits “sacrifice” themselves when exposed to multiple transient voltage spikes, requiring the dismantling of your system, and repair of your surge suppressor. With Furman’s SMP+, however, damaging transient voltages are safely absorbed, clamped and dissipated. No sacrificed parts, no service calls, no down time.

Unique to Furman’s SMP+ is its unparalleled clamping voltage. While other designs offer clamping voltages that are well above 300Vpk, Furman’s SMP+ clamps at 188Vpk, 133 VAC RMS even when tested with multiple 6000Vpk - 3000 amp surges! This unprecedented level of protection is only available with Furman’s SMP+ technology. Additionally, Furman’s trusted over-voltage circuitry protects against all too frequent open neutral wiring, or accidental connections to 208 or 240 VAC. Furman’s SMP+ with over voltage protection immediately shuts off the incoming power until the over voltage condition is corrected.

LiFT (Linear Filtering Technology)

Unfortunately, traditional AC conditioners have been designed for unrealistic laboratory conditions. Prior technologies could actually harm audio and video performance more than they help, due to the resonant peaking of their antiquated, non-linear designs. Under certain conditions, these designs can actually add more

than 10 dB of noise to the incoming AC line! Worse still, lost digital data, the need to reboot digital presets, or destroyed 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 through linear fi ltering and no leakage to ground.

   

Options Models PL-PRO II E, PL-PRO DE II, and PM-PRO E II: “E” suffi x versions are for use in countries with 220/240 volt AC lines. Each has ten rear panel outlets, using internationally- accepted IEC-320 connectors. The voltmeter on the PL-PRO E II reads from 180 to 256 VAC, in 4 volt steps.

   

Features

The PL -PRO II and PL-PRO D II feature LED rack lights which produce virtually no heat and provide an extremely long life span. A dimmer control for the rack lights allows the user to adjust the level of illumination or simply switch the lights off.

Additionally, all units include a rear mounted BNC jack which accepts any standard (12VAC, 0.5A) gooseneck lamp for rear rack illumination, as well as a front panel switch which controls the gooseneck’s operation. A front panel mounted master power switch is protected by a hinged cover, preventing accidental disconnection of AC power to the unit’s outlets. The front-panel circuit breaker - power switch can be quickly and easily reset should the unit be overloaded. Furman’s Series II Pro units also feature a 10 foot, 12 gauge heavy-duty power cable.
