rear panel and two convenience outlets on the front panel. Also on the rear panel is one L5-30R output capable of delivering 30 amps.
All outputs are not only regulated, yet surge-suppressed and linearly filtered, making the unit a full-function power conditioner.
NOTE: P-3600 AR G is for use with AC voltage only. DC voltages should never be applied. Also, it does not change or regulate line
frequency. The output frequency will always be the same as the incoming frequency. The unit should only be connected to a grounded
electrical source.
Transient Voltage Surge Suppression - Dual SMP Technology (Series Multi-Stage Protection)
Furman's SMP (Series Multi-Stage Protection) surge suppression virtually eliminates service calls and costly "down time". Traditional
surge suppression circuits sacrifice themselves when exposed to multiple transient voltage spikes, requiring the dismantling of your
system, and repair of your surge suppressor. Not so with Furman's SMP. With SMP, damaging transient voltages are safely absorbed,
clamped, and dissipated. Your connected equipment is protected, while your P-3600 AR G protects itself. Unique to the P-3600 AR G is
its unparalleled SMP dual voltage clamping capability. While other power management devices throughout the world offer clamping
voltages that are well above Furman's SMP technology, Dual SMP Technology clamps 188V peak at 120V standards (375V peak in 240V
applications) - even when tested with multiple 6000 Vpk/3000 amp surges. This unprecedented level of protection is only available
with Furman's SMP technology.
LiFT (Linear Filtering Technology)
Furman's Linear Filtering Technology (LiFT) reduces AC line noise in a linear manner across a very wide bandwidth. Traditional AC fil-
ters/conditioners have been designed for unrealistic laboratory conditions ; whether multiple pole filters or conventional series mode,
prior technologies could actually harm audio and video performance more than they help. Under certain conditions these designs
can actually add more than 10 dB of noise to the incoming AC line. Furman's LiFT takes a different approach. The technology ensures
optimal performance through linear filtration.
Catastrophic Voltage Protection – Extreme Voltage Shutdown
Furman's trusted EVS (Extreme Voltage Shutdown) circuitry protects against catastrophic overvoltage conditions. EVS technology con-
stantly monitors incoming voltage. When voltages rise to an unsafe level, or a fault is detected, the SMP circuit reacts cutting power to
all connected equipment. Once the voltage returns to normal levels, the EVS can resume monitoring.
Wire Fault Detection
Wire Fault detection, along with EVS, protects against accidental connections to intermittent neutrals and poorly wired supply cables.
In either case, each circuit protects against catastrophic conditions by cutting off the incoming power until the adverse condition is
corrected.
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a Furman Prestige Series Voltage Regulator/Power Conditioner, and congratulations on your choice. The
P-3600 AR G has been precisely engineered to more than meet the critical demands of recording studios, broadcast facilities, and
touring productions throughout the world. The unit incorporates features such as Furman's True RMS Voltage Regulation, Series
Multi-Stage Protection (SMP), and our exclusive Linear Filtering Technology (LiFT). Together, these technologies comprise precisely
what our customers have grown to expect from Furman: uncompromised protection and purification. These features make the P-3600
AR G the ideal component in a world use 120V power scheme, accommodating national voltages of 100, 120, 220, 240, or others, with
equal ease and without the need for readjustment.
The Furman P-3600 AR G is intended to protect sensitive electronic equipment from problems caused by AC line voltage irregularities.
Brownouts or over-voltages can cause audio tonal changes, digital equipment malfunction (such as loss of data), or, in extreme cases,
permanent damage. The unit accepts a world-wide AC voltage range and converts the source to a steady, stable 120V output range
(120V plus or minus 4%). Voltages beyond the capture ranges may be converted to usable levels. Amplifiers, consoles, and digital
workstations will benefit from stable voltage as the P-3600 AR G protects the equipment and promotes optimal performance. If you
travel internationally, derive power from generators, use excessively long extension cords, or are in an area prone to brownouts, you
will secure an outstanding advantage with use of your new Furman P-3600 AR G Voltage Regulator.
DESCRIPTION
Front Panel Meters and Indicators
The P-3600 AR G offers precision digital meters that display incoming voltage in 1-volt steps and a RMS ammeter measuring current
to the fifth of an amp. The voltmeter's accuracy is ±1.5 volts and features a tri-color voltage range indicator. This informs the user
whether voltage is in or out of a safe range. The ammeter measures current draw for an instant analysis of system requirements. The
front panel also includes indicators regarding operating temperature and wiring faults for comprehensive monitoring.
