Soft Start - Continuous Use and Break-In Time
When power is first applied to the Elite-16 PF E i, (the front panel breaker- power toggle must be switched to the "1"
position) the Soft Start feature is activated. There is an audible "clack" when the Elite-16 PF E i is first turned on or off. This
sound is produced by the Soft Start circuit's 30 Amp relay engaging or disengaging. There is virtually nothing in the Elite-16
PF E i's construction, design, or componentry to wear over the life time of the product, and there is no power draw from your
electric service meter aside from the LED power indicator, lamps, and relay circuits. For this reason the Elite-16 PF E i may be
left with its power engaged permanently at an extraordinarily negligible cost per month. This is an added benefit, as many
audio/videophiles find performance improves significantly when leaving low-powered components permanently charged
(turned on). In fact, this is true of the Elite-16 PF E i. Though it will function flawlessly right from its shipping carton, the
performance of its circuit parts will improve after approximately two weeks of continuous use or "break-in."
AC Transient Voltage Surge Suppression and Extreme Voltage Shutdown
Extreme Voltage Shutdown Indicator:
This LED is normally off. It monitors AC wiring faults – for example, accidental connection to an open neutral (in some
countries) or a wiring fault with in excess of 3000VAC present. The Series Multi-Stage Protection (SMP) circuit senses
voltages that are so high that operation would be impossible and shuts the power down before damage can occur. Upon
initially applying power to these units, the Extreme Voltage indicator LED will light if the input voltage is above the extreme
voltage cutoff, and power will not be applied to the unit's outlets. If the unit has been operating with an acceptable input
voltage and subsequently that voltage exceeds 275V, it will shut off power to the outlet and the Extreme Voltage LED will
light. The power switch must be re-set once the AC service has been corrected, or; the unit is connected to an appropriate
AC outlet.
Protection OK Indicator:
Although the Furman SMP circuit assures virtually maintenance free protection from transient voltage spikes and surges,
nature has a way of occasionally creating electrical forces that are beyond the capabilities of any Transient Voltage Surge
Suppression device to absorb without some degree of damage. In the rare instance that this occurs, the blue LED located in
the center of the front panel will dim, even though AC power is present at the unit's outputs. If this happens, some level of
protection from voltage surges will remain, but the Furman's clamping voltage rating will be compromised. The unit must be
returned to Furman Sound, or an authorized Furman Service center for repair.
NOTE: If the main power is above the high cutoff voltage and has caused the unit to remove power from its outlets, it
cannot restore power without the operator manually turning the unit off, then on again. Avoid turning the unit back on,
without first checking the source of the problem, and perhaps changing the AC source.
