FEATURES
M-8x
The M-8x power conditioner provides 9 switched
outlets for powering equipment. It not only pro-
tects anything plugged into it from spikes and
surges, but also has a built in AC noise filter to
rid the system of RFI / EMI interference. This
allows equipment to function better and last lon-
ger.
M-8Lx
In addition to features of the M-8x, the M-8Lx
features incandescent rack lights and increased
AC filtering. A dimmer control for the rack lights
allows the user to adjust the level of illumina-
tion.
M-8Dx
In addition to all the features of the M-8Lx, the
M-8Dx offers a laboratory precision digital me-
ter that displays incoming voltage in 1-volt steps.
The voltmeter's accuracy is ±2 volts.
OPERATION
Retractable Rack Lights and Dimmer Control:
The M-8Lx and M-8Dx utilize a dimmer control
for the two retractable front panel light tubes.
The dimmer knob controls the brightness of
both light fixtures. Turn it clockwise to increase
brightness; turn it counter-clockwise to decrease
brightness. When the lights are not in use, we
recommend pushing the fixtures all the way into
the chassis (engaging the off switches) to better
maximize the life of the bulbs.
On/Off Rocker Switch:
The front panel on/off rocker switches power on
and off to all outlets (including the front panel
outlet) as well as the retractable lights. This 15
amp capacity power switch is specifically de-
signed to stand up to the enormous high inrush
current demands of many power amplifiers.
Circuit Breaker:
If you are not getting any power to the outlets
even though the unit is switched on, the circuit
breaker might have tripped. To reset the circuit
breaker, push the round reset button located on
the rear panel.
Protection OK Indicator:
Although Furman's Ground Contamination Free
Surge Suppression rarely requires servicing,
nature has a way of occasionally creating elec-
trical forces that are beyond the capabilities of
any transient voltage surge suppressor device
to absorb without some degree of damage. In
the instance that this occurs, the "Protection
OK" LED indicator will turn off. If this happens,
Furman's surge suppression circuit is compro-
mised. The unit must be returned to Furman
Sound for repair.
Digital Voltmeter (M-8Dx):
Furman's digital voltmeter continually displays
incoming voltage within a typical tolerance of
±2VAC.
NOTE: The Merit Series units do not com-
pensate for high or low line voltage. If you fre-
quently move your rack to different locations,
derive power from generators, use long exten-
sion cords, travel internationally, or are in an
