Instrucțiuni de operare
Pornire/Oprire
To power on the unit and connected equipment, press the main power switch on the front panel to the ON position. The digital display will illuminate, showing the incoming voltage and current draw. To power off, press the switch to the OFF position.
Monitorizare Voltage și Curent
The front panel digital display continuously monitors and shows the incoming AC line voltage and the total current being drawn by all connected equipment. This allows you to keep track of your power consumption and ensure stable operation.
Indicatori de protecție
- "Protection OK" Indicator: A green LED on the front panel indicates that the SMP surge protection is active and functioning correctly.
- "Extreme Voltage Shutdown" Indicator: A red LED (if present, or indicated on display) will illuminate if the incoming voltage is too high or too low, triggering the EVS circuit to shut down power to protect connected equipment. Power will be restored automatically once the voltage returns to a safe range.
Întreţinere
The Furman PL-PRO DMC requires minimal maintenance. Follow these guidelines to ensure optimal performance and longevity:
- curatenie: Disconnect the unit from the power source before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
- Ventilare: Ensure that the ventilation openings are not blocked. Proper airflow is essential to prevent overheating.
- Întrerupător de circuit: If the circuit breaker trips, disconnect some equipment, then press the breaker button to reset it. If it continues to trip, consult the troubleshooting section.
