Warning 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. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only. Important Safety Instructions 1. Please read and observe all safety and operating instructions before installing your Power Station-8D (PST-8D). Retain these instructions for future reference. 2. Your PST-8D should not be us

6. Clean your PST-8D with a damp cloth only. Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners. Never pour liquid on or into the unit. 7. Your PST-8D should be serviced by qualified service personnel when: • 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, exhibits a marked change in performance, or the Protection OK indicat

actually induce noise into adjacent circuits since all of the system’s components are joined at the power strip’s AC outlets. The PST- 8D employs additional ultra-sonic filtering for both digital and video components. This additional filtering assures peak system performance by preventing AC noise or back-wash from cross- contaminating an adjacent unit. For example, a television plugged into the digital – video filtered outlets will not affect an audio receiver- controller connected to on

Note: It is not possible to make an in-line cable or satellite protector “virtually maintenance-free” as we have accomplished with the 120 VAC line. This would necessitate limited signal bandwidth that would not allow the signal to pass. Under extreme conditions, it is possible that the surge suppression in one of these devices could sacrifice itself after a catastrophic event. If the telephone, cable or satellite signal will no longer pass through our protector, please send your Power

Indicators Extreme Voltage Shutdown Indicator Furman’s SMP+ circuit senses sustained voltages that are high enough to cause damage to your components, and shuts the power down before damage can occur. Such conditions can include accidental connection to a 240VAC source (where 120VAC is expected), or an open neutral from a 208 or 240VAC source. The Extreme Voltage Shutdown LED is normally off. If an input voltage in excess of 137VAC is sensed, either on initial power-up or during normal op

but Furman’s clamping voltage rating will be compromised. The unit must be returned to Furman Sound, or an authorized Furman Service Center for repair. Mounting If the Power Station needs to be mounted to the inside panel of a rack or hung from a wall, a convenient crossed oval cutout is provided on the unit’s bottom panel. A standard No. 6 pan head screw can be used in the same way a picture is hung from a wall. Simply measure the centers on the bottom of your Power Station. This will
