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, after unpacking,
shipping damage is evident, contact the carrier. Save all shipping and packing materials. You may need them if you should
ever have to return the unit to the factory for servicing.
The box should contain the IT-Reference 15i unit, detachable AC cord, rack mount kit, owner's manual, and 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 IT-Reference 15i 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
• Household lighting equipment may not be connected to the IT-Reference 15i because their sockets are not designed
for use with symmetrical power and may present a shock hazard. We recommend that only audio, video and computer
processing equipment be connected to the IT-Reference 15i.
The IT-Reference 15i 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 IT-Reference 15i has been exposed to rain or other moisture.
• The IT-Reference 15i does not appear to operate normally, or exhibits a marked change in performance.
• The IT-Reference 15i has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.
Power Source
The power source to which the IT-Reference 15i is connected should be adequate for use at 15 amps. The IT-Reference 15i
will operate with a 10 amp service outlet; however, nuisance tripping at the circuit breaker panel may result if the systems
continuous current draw exceeds 9 amps.
Placement
The IT-Reference 15i is manufactured with four rubber feet for placement on any table, cabinet, shelf, or floor capable
of supporting its 50lb weight. These rubber feet may be easily removed with a standard Philips screw driver when rack
mounting adjacent to other components. Because of the IT-Reference 15i's internal shielding, placement or proximity to
other components is not critical, and the IT-Reference 15i does not produce any appreciable heat under standard use. The
IT-Reference 15i may also be rack mounted in a standard 19" rack by attaching the IT-Reference 15i rack ears. These rack ears
(contained within the plastic rack kit package) mount flush with the back portion of the IT-Reference 15i's front panel. They
are attached to the chassis by removing the (2) countersunk screws on each forward-side of the chassis top cover. Each rack
ear is installed with (3) pan-head Philips screws contained within the IT-Reference 15i 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.
For rack mounting that will be transported, rear rack mounting is recommended due to the high mass of the IT-Reference 15i.
These rear rack kits are not necessary for a stationary installation. They are available from your Furman dealer as an optional
accessory. The rack kit model number is: RRM-2 REF.
