Furman PS-8RE Series III Power Conditioner / Sequencer – PS-8REIII
Product
Information:
The most widely
recognized and trusted name in AC power
conditioning is proud to introduce the
PS-8RE III power conditioner / sequencer,
featuring Furman’s revolutionary SMP
technology. Furman’s Series Multi-Stage
Protection (SMP) circuit also features our
exclusive Linear Filter Technology (LiFT)
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)
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.
Not so with SMP. With Furman’s SMP, 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, even when tested beyond
the grueling specifications of – USA/CIDA’s
A-1-1 test. While other designs offer
clamping voltages that are well above 300VAC
peak (far beyond long accepted professional
standards), Furman’s SMP clamps at 376VAC
peak, 266 VAC RMS even when tested with
multiple 6000VAC – 3000 Amp surges! This
unprecedented level of protection is only
available with Furman’s SMP technology.
LiFT (Linear Filtering Technology)
Unfortunately, traditional AC
filter/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
filtering and no leakage to ground.
E.V.S. (Extreme Voltage Shutdown)
Furman’s trusted overvoltage circuitry
protects against all too frequent accidental
connections to high voltages by shutting off
the incoming power until the overvoltage
condition is corrected.
Rear Panel BNC Connector
For rear panel illumination, a BNC connector
is provided for connection of any standard
gooseneck lamp, such as the Furman GN-LED or
GN-I (sold seperately).
Sequencing
The PS-8RE III Power Conditioner/Sequencers
is capable of powering up a rack full of
equipment in a 3-step delayed sequence. The
sequence is reversed for power-down. The
sequence can be initiated with either
momentary or maintained switches, locally or
remotely. A duplex outlet is provided for
each delay step. One or more Furman PS-8RE
III’s may be installed in remote locations
and operated via low-voltage wiring.
Specifications:
Series Multi-Stage Protection (SMP) for virtually
maintenance free protection from surges and spikes. No sacrificed parts, no
service calls, no downtime!
Furman’s unequaled Linear Filtering Technology (LiFT) rids systems of AC line
noise for consistent audio/video clarity
Automatic Extreme Voltage Shutdown (E.V.S.) powers down equipment during a
prolonged extreme over-voltage
Six sequenced rear panel outlets (in 3 groups), two switched rear panel outlets,
and one front panel switched outlet
Momentary and Maintained sequencing via rear panel terminal block or front panel
switch
10 amp rating with circuit breaker
BNC connector on the rear panel allows connection of any standard gooseneck lamp
