Installation
Unpacking
Before unpacking your unit, inspect the carton for any obvious severe damage to the box and internal protective materials.
If internal damage is likely, contact the carrier who delivered the unit before proceeding with unpacking. If shipping damage
is evident on the product, then please contact your shipping carrier. Save all shipping and packing materials, as you may
need them if you should ever have to return the unit to the factory for servicing.
The box should contain the Elite-16 PF E i unit, detachable AC cord, rack mount kit, owner's manual - warranty registration
card. If anything is missing, please contact Furman Customer Service. Fill out and return your warranty registration card.
Registration is recommended because it can be used to establish whether the unit is within the warranty period should your
original ownership documents be lost, and it assists us in informing you about upgrades or other vital information.
Safety Information - Warnings
Please read and observe all of the safety and operating instructions before the Elite-16 PF E i is operated. Retain these
instructions for future reference.
•
Do not disassemble or modify in any way. No user-serviceable parts inside.
•
Keep away from moisture and avoid excessive humidity.
•
Do not allow liquids or foreign objects to enter the unit.
The Elite-16 PF E i should be serviced by qualified service personnel when:
•
The power supply cord or plug has been frayed or cut.
•
Objects have fallen or liquid has spilled into the unit.
•
The Elite-16 PF E i has been exposed to rain or other moisture.
•
The Elite-16 PF E i does not appear to operate normally, or exhibits a marked change in performance.

The Elite-16 PF E i has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.
Power Source
The power source to which the Elite-16 PF E i is connected should be adequate for use at 16 Amps. The Elite-16 PF E i will
operate with a10 to 13 Amp service AC outlet. However, nuisance tripping at the circuit breaker panel may result if the
system's continuous current draw exceeds the rating of the service breaker or fuse.
Placement
The Elite-16 PF E i is manufactured with four rubber feet for placement on any table, cabinet, shelf, or floor. These rubber
feet may be easily removed with a standard Philips screw driver when rack mounting adjacent to other components.
Placement or proximity to other components is not critical, and the Elite-16 PF E i does not produce any appreciable heat
under standard use. The Elite-16 PF E i may also be rack mounted in a standard 19" (483mm) rack by attaching the Elite-
16 PF E i rack ears. They are attached to the chassis by installing each rack ear with (3) pan-head Philips screws contained
within the Elite-16 PF E i rack mounting kit. The third screw used for each rack ear is for the center hole, located towards the
rear and aids in stabilizing the unit when rack mounted.
Connection
AC Cable Routing
Once the Elite-16 PF E i is placed, its AC cord's female end must be plugged into the male IEC connector located on the
lower left hand side of the rear panel (when facing the rear panel). Next the male plug must be connected to an appropriate
socket (see current rating recommendation above).
Connecting Components to the Video Component AC Outlet Banks
The Elite-16 PF E i's four "Video Component AC Outlets" should be employed for critical video components such as DVD
