[. . . ] If you find that the heat from the tubes is excessive, try reducing the setting of the dimmer knob. Do not attempt to service the PL-PRO beyond what is described in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel. Power Status LEDs The PL-PRO's status LEDs inform you of abnormal conditions at a glance: Symptom: Possible Cause: Action Needed: Symptom: Possible Cause: Action Needed: Symptom: Possible Cause: Action Needed: PROTECTION OK Indicator not lit. (If only the LED under the 90V mark is flashing, PL-PRO is receiving 80-90V). Consider installing a Furman voltage regulator. Input voltage is below 80 or above 140 volts, causing power to the PL-PRO's outlets to be shut down. Consider installing a Furman voltage regulator. PROTECTION EXTREME OK VOLTAGE GROUND OK FLASHES WHEN SHUT DOWN Symptom: Possible Cause: Action Needed: Voltmeter Displays The PL-PRO informs you of voltage problems at a glance.

This feature allows you to check voltage before powering up your equipment. These LEDs are designed for continuous, ongoing use. What sets the Furman PRO Series apart from other conditioners is the quantity, quality, and configuration of its suppression devices. These include MOV's, gas discharge tubes, fast-blow fuses, and high voltage inductors and capacitors. This unique combination can safely absorb and dissipate large spikes from nearby lightning strikes and other sources (up to 11, 000 amps across any wiring mode -- hot-neutral, hot-ground, or neutral-ground), as well as highly attenuate audible high frequency noise. Precise high-inrush magnetic circuit breakers avoid the false tripping often encountered with large reactive loads like power amps. The PL-PRO front panel provides a three-color, 20-LED line voltage meter, and three status LEDs to indicate abnormal power conditions. Under extreme conditions, the PL-PRO will even keep itself from turning on, or shut down if the voltage is below 80 volts or above 140 volts (below 160 V or above 280 V for the PL-PRO-E). There is a dimmer control for the two front panel light tubes, which also include a feature exclusive to Furman that automatically turns both lights off when either light tube is pushed back in. The front panel also provides an unswitched outlet (clean, filtered power is provided at the unswitched outlet, too) and a 20 amp (16 amp for PL-PRO-E) magnetic circuit breaker rated for use as an ON/OFF switch. The rear has eight switched AC outlets to power up all your equipment. These outlets are spaced widely enough to accommodate up to four plug-mounted power supplies ("wall warts"). [. . . ] Unscrew the cap on the end of each tube to get access to the bulb. (Be careful not to push the tubes in after you have removed the caps. ) To unscrew the bulb, place your index finger across the hole on the underside of the tube and in contact with the bulb. Use the ball of your finger to rotate the bulb out of its socket. Then remove the bulb from the front of the light tube. [. . . ]
