Please verify that the serial number shown on the Warranty Card matches the serial number on your unit. The Furman PL-PRO is warranted against failures due to defective parts or faulty workmanship for a period of three years after delivery to the original owner. During this period, Furman will make any necessary repairs without charge for parts or labor. Shipping charges to the factory or repair station must be prepaid by the owner; return shipping charges (via UPS Ground) will be paid by Furman. This warranty applies only to the original owner and is not transferable. Also, it does not apply to repairs done other than by the Furman factory or Authorized Repair Stations. This warranty shall be cancellable by Furman at its sole discretion if the PL-PRO unit has been subjected to physical abuse, has been operated without a proper safety ground, or has been modified in any way without written authorization from Furman. Furman's liability under this warranty is limited to repair or replacement of the defective unit. Furman will not be responsible for incidental or consequential damages resulting from the use or misuse of its products. Some states do not allow the exclusion of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state. Warranty claims should be accompanied by a copy of the original purchase invoice showing the purchase date (if a Warranty Registration Card was mailed in at the time of purchase, this is not necessary). Before returning any equipment for repair, please read the important information on service below. Safety Information To obtain best results from your Furman PL-PRO, please be sure to read this manual carefully before using it. WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not expose this equipment to rain or moisture. Dangerous high voltages are present inside the enclosure. Do not remove the covers. Other than the light bulbs, there are no user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only. The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock. Important Safety Instructions Please read prior to installation 1. Please read and observe all of the safety and operating instructions before the PL-PRO is operated. Retain these instructions for future reference. 2. The PL-PRO should not be used near water -- for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, etc. 3. The PL-PRO should be situated so that its location and position do not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, the PL-PRO must not be placed on a rug, bed, sofa, or similar surface which impedes airflow across the chassis. 4. Do not place the PL-PRO near heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances that produce heat. 5. The PL-PRO should only be connected to a 120 VAC, 60 Hz, 20 amp grounded electrical outlet. Outlets wired for 20 amps may be identified by the T-shaped socket opening that accepts the perpendicular blades of the PL-PRO's power plug. If you don't have a 20 amp outlet available, have one installed by a qualified electrician. Do not defeat the ground or polarization of the power plug. Service Before returning any equipment for repair, please be sure that it is adequately packed and cushioned against damage in shipment, and that it is insured. We suggest that you save the original packaging and use it to ship the product for servicing. Also, please enclose a note giving your name, address, phone number and a description of the problem. NOTE: All equipment being returned for repair must have a Return Authorization (RA) Number. To get an RA Number, please call the Furman Service Department: (707) 763-1010, ext. 40. Please display your RA Number prominently on the front of all packages. 15 amp 20 amp 6. Route the power cord and other cables so that they are not likely to be walked on, tripped over, or stressed. Pay particular attention to condition of cords and 4 PL-PRO POWER CONDITIONER AND LIGHT MODULE PL-PRO POWER CONDITIONER AND LIGHT MODULE 9 cables at plugs, and the point where they exit from the PL-PRO. To prevent risk of fire or injury, damaged cords and cables should be replaced immediately. 7. Clean the PL-PRO with a damp cloth only. Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners. Never pour any liquid on or into the PL-PRO. 8. When left unused for a long period of time, the power cord of the PL-PRO should be unplugged from the outlet. 9. The PL-PRO should be serviced by qualified service personnel when: a. The power supply cord or the plug has been frayed, kinked, or cut. b. Objects have fallen or liquid has spilled into the unit. c. The PL-PRO has been exposed to rain or other moisture. d. The PL-PRO does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance. e. The PL-PRO has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged. 10. The PL-PRO requires that a safety ground be present for proper operation. Any attempt to operate the PL-PRO without a safety ground is considered improper operation and could invalidate the warranty. 11. Light bulbs are the only user-serviceable parts in the PL-PRO. Instructions for replacing them are on pages 6-7. The light tubes and end caps become quite warm to the touch in normal operation. To avoid burning your fingers, allow the cap to cool completely before unscrewing it. If you find that the heat from the tubes is excessive, try reducing the setting of the dimmer knob. 12. Do not attempt to service the PL-PRO beyond what is described in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel. Power Status LEDs The PL-PRO's status LEDs inform you of abnormal conditions at a glance: Symptom: Possible Cause: Action Needed: Symptom: Possible Cause: Action Needed: Symptom: Possible Cause: Action Needed: PROTECTION OK Indicator not lit. Protection devices are damaged. Factory service. GROUND OK Indicator not lit. No building ground, bad outlet. Locate good ground, run ground wire. All voltmeter LEDs are flashing. PL-PRO is receiving 130-140 volts. (If only the LED under the 90V mark is flashing, PL-PRO is receiving 80-90V). Correct the line voltage. Consider installing a Furman voltage regulator. EXTREME VOLTAGE Indicator flashing. Input voltage is below 80 or above 140 volts, causing power to the PL-PRO's outlets to be shut down. Correct the line voltage. Consider installing a Furman voltage regulator.
