Thank you for purchasing a Furman Series II  
Power Conditioner, and Congratulations on  
your choice. The Series II power conditioners  
feature Furman’s revolutionary Series Multi-  
Stage Protection Plus (SMP+) circuit, as well  
as our exclusive Linear Filtering Technology  
(LiFT). Together, these technologies comprise  
what is, without question, the world’s most  
advanced and comprehensive transient  
voltage surge suppressor / conditioner.  
LiFT (Linear Filtering Technology)  
Unfortunately, traditional AC filter - conditioners  
have been designed for unrealistic laboratory  
conditions. Prior technologies, whether  
multiple pole filter or conventional series  
mode, could actually harm audio and video  
performance more than they help, due to the  
resonant peaking of their antiquated, non-linear  
designs. Under certain conditions, these  
designs can actually add more than 10 dB of  
noise to the incoming AC line! Worse still, lost  
digital data, the need to re-boot digital pre-sets,  
or destroyed digital converters are frequently  
caused by excessive voltage spikes and AC  
noise contaminating the equipment ground.  
Furman’s SMP+ with LiFT takes another  
approach, ensuring optimal performance  
through linear filtering and no leakage to  
ground.  
SMP+ (Series Multi-Stage Protection  
Plus)  
Furman’s SMP+ surge suppression virtually  
eliminates service calls. 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 SMP+. With Furman’s SMP+,  
damaging transient voltages are safely  
absorbed, clamped, and dissipated.  
Unique to Furman’s SMP+ is its unparalleled  
clamping voltage. While other designs offer  
clamping voltages that are well above 330  
Vpk, Furman’s SMP+ clamps at 188 Vpk,  
(133 VAC RMS). This unprecedented level  
of protection is only available with Furman’s  
SMP+ technology. Additionally, Furman’s

5. 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 the condition of the cords and cables at  
the plugs, and the point where they exit your  
Series II unit. To prevent risk of fire or injury,  
damaged cords and cables should be replaced  
immediately.  
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. Refer  
servicing to qualified personnel only. The  
lightning flash with an arrowhead symbol, is  
intended to alert the user to the presence of  
un-insulated dangerous voltage within the  
product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient  
magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock.  
6. Clean your Series II unit with a damp cloth  
only. Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners.  
Never pour liquid on or into the unit.

PL-PRO SERIES II  
The PL-PRO II features LED rack lights which  
produce virtually no heat and provide an  
extremely long life span. A dimmer control  
for the rack lights allows the user to adjust the  
level of illumination or simply switch the lights  
off. A rear mounted BNC jack accepts any  
standard (12VAC 0.5 amp) gooseneck lamp for  
rear rack illumination.  
Additionally, the PL-PRO D II offers a  
laboratory precision digital meter that displays  
incoming voltage in 1-volt steps. The  
voltmeter’s accuracy is ±1.5 volt.  
The PL-PRO D II has a master magnetic circuit  
breaker switch for the front and rear outlets  
that is protected from accidental disconnection  
by a hinged cover. The PL-PRO D II also  
features a 10 foot, 12 gauge heavy-duty power  
cable.  
Additionally, the PL-PRO II offers a 20 segment  
LED bar-graph meter that displays incoming  
voltage between 90 and 128 volts in 2-volt  
steps. The normal range voltages are indicated  
in green, with moderately and extremely high  
or low voltages in yellow and red respectively.  
The voltmeter’s accuracy is ±2 volts. It can  
easily be re-calibrated, if necessary. (E-  
versions 180 – 256 VAC in 4 volt steps)  
PM-PRO SERIES II  
The PM-PRO II features two laboratory  
precision digital meters that display both  
incoming voltage in 1-volt steps, and a true  
R.M.S. current meter that measures the AC  
power draw within 0.5 amp. A rear mounted  
BNC jack accepts any standard (12VAC 0.5  
amp) gooseneck lamp for rear rack illumination.  
The PL-PRO II has a master magnetic circuit

BNC plug over the socket and rotate clockwise  
until the connector snaps into the locked  
position. The rear rack lamp can be powered  
on or off with the rear light power switch  
located on the far left of the front panel.  
The Series II’s front panel LED lamps must  
be replaced by qualified Furman service  
personnel.  
Retractable Rack Lights, Rear panel Lamp  
and dimmer Control:  
The PL-PRO II and PL-PRO D II 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  
counterclockwise to decrease brightness.  
When the lights are not in use, we recommend  
turning the dimmer fully counterclockwise to  
maximize the life of the LED’s, however, this  
is not absolutely necessary. Whether the light  
tubes are retracted or flush with the front panel,  
there will be no appreciable heat regardless of  
dimmer setting due to the efficiency of our full  
light spectrum LED’s.  
multi-Segment LEd voltmeter:  
(pL-pRo II only)  
This three-color, 20-LED bargraph is an  
accurate, self checking AC voltmeter that  
continually measures normal voltages. The  
meter reads from 90 to 128 volts in 2 volt  
increments (PL-PRO E II: 180 to 256 volts, in  
4 volt increments). The normal range voltages  
are indicated in green, with moderate and  
extremely high or low voltages in yellow and  
red respectively. The voltmeter provides three  
special flashing patterns to indicate abnormal  
conditions.

(3) If none of the LED’s on the voltmeter  
are lit, and the Extreme Voltages LED  
indicator is illuminated, then the PL-  
Plus II has shut down power to its  
outlets because the input voltage is in  
a range considered extreme (in excess  
of 135 volts - 260 volts E version /  
120 volts J version).  
on/off Circuit Breaker:  
This 20 amp capacity magnetic circuit breaker  
switch is specifically designed to stand up to  
the enormous high inrush current demands of  
many Power Amplifiers. Additionally, the switch  
is shielded from accidental power disconnection  
with a hinged cover. (E-versions feature 16 amp  
capacity)

Extreme Voltage Shutdown Indicator:  
(pL-pRo d II and pm-pRo II only)  
Furman’s laboratory precision AC digital  
voltmeter continually measures incoming  
voltages, within a typical tolerance of +/-  
1.5VAC. It should be noted that the voltage  
reading is incoming. No adjustment should be  
necessary on these units.  
This LED is normally off. It monitors a hazard  
common in the entertainment industry: wiring  
faults – for example, accidental connection  
to 220VAC where 120VAC is expected, or an  
open neutral from a 208 or 240VAC feed. The  
Series II 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

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 135V, it will  
shut off power to the outlet and the Extreme

1.) Symptom: No power to the AC outlets.  
possible Cause: Circuit breaker switch has

2.) Symptom: No power to the AC outlets,  
“Protection OK” indicator is not lit.  
Although the Furman SMP circuit assures  
virtually protection from transient voltage  
spikes and surges, nature has a way of  
occasionally creating electrical forces that are  
beyond the capabilities of any TVSS device to  
absorb without some degree of damage. In  
the rare instance that this occurs, the green  
“Protection OK” LED indicator located on your  
front panel will dim. 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

your Series II device is connected has no AC  
voltage present, or the unit has been subjected  
to a sustained voltage in excess of 400 Volts.  
action needed: Plug the Series II unit into an  
AC receptacle where AC voltage is present. If  
the problem persists, the protection circuit may  
be damaged, and require factory service.  
Service center for repair.  
3.) Symptom: Extreme Voltage indicator lit.  
possible Cause: Input voltage is above 135-  
140 volts (270 – 280 volts E version), causing  
power to the unit’s outlets to be shut down.  
Additionally, if the voltage is below 85 - 90 volts  
at turn on, the unit will not allow AC voltage to  
reach the outlets.  
notE: If the mains 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.  
action needed: Correct the line voltage, then;

in audio and computer equipment. Spikes  
can also foul switch contacts and degrade  
wiring insulation. They are an unavoidable  
component of electric power. They are caused  
unpredictably by electric motors switching  
on or off (on the premises or outside), utility  
company maintenance operations, lightning
