example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen  
sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, near a  
swimming pool, etc.  
9. Do not attempt to service yourunit beyond  
what is described in this manual. All other  
servicing should be referred to qualified service  
personnel.  
3. Do not place your unit near heat sources  
such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or  
other appliances that produce heat.  
Overview  
While the AC power delivered by today’s  
overworked and outdated power grid may be  
adequate for typical lighting and consumer  
products, it is well below the level of quality  
needed for connecting sensitive audio and  
video equipment. With the average investment  
in home theater equipment steadily rising, it’s  
more important than ever to purify or clean  
your incoming AC power.  
4. The unit should only be connected to a 120  
VAC, 60Hz, 15 Amp [230 VAC and10 Amp for  
the AC-210 E] grounded electrical outlet. Do  
not defeat the ground or change polarization of  
the power plug.  
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 unit.  
To prevent risk of fire or injury, damaged cords  
and cables should be replaced immediately.  
Furman’s Series Multi-Stage Protection Plus  
(SMP+) circuitry incorporates Linear Filtering  
Technology (LiFT) to insure that flat screen  
televisions, projectors, processors, and other  
sensitive audio/video components are fed  
linearly-filtered AC power. This dramatically  
reduces noise, ensuring consistent, peak  
performance from your equipment. The result  
is better performance, a better quality picture,  
and less wear on your components.  
6. Clean your unit with a damp cloth only. Do  
not use solvents or abrasive cleaners. Never  
pour liquid on or into the unit.  
7. Your unit should be serviced by qualified  
service personnel when:  
• The power supply cord or the plug  
has been frayed, kinked, or cut.  
• Objects have fallen or liquid has  
spilled into the unit.  
• The unit has been exposed to rain or  
other moisture.  
• The unit does not appear to operate  
normally or exhibits a marked change  
in performance.  
• The unit has been dropped, or the  
enclosure damaged.  
Another feature unique to Furman’s SMP+  
circuit is automatic Extreme Voltage Shutdown  
(EVS) with a TVZ MOV. Extreme voltages are  
statistically the most common, damaging AC  
event. The Extreme Voltage Shutdown circuit  
automatically turns off the AC-215 / AC-210 E  
when it is fed 137 volts [270VAC for the AC-210  
E or 260VAC for the AC-210 E UK] or higher,  
protecting itself and connected equipment from  
the extreme voltage. Only Furman offers this  
advanced degree of protection.  
8. Your unit requires that a safety ground be  
present for proper operation. Any attempt  
to operate the unit without a safety ground  
is considered improper operation and could

Indicators  
Troubleshooting  
Extreme Voltage Shutdown Indicator  
Symptom: No power to the AC outlets.  
The AC Series SMP+ circuit senses voltages  
that are high enough to cause damage to your  
components, and shuts the power down before  
damage can occur.  
Possible Cause: Circuit breaker has  
tripped due to excessive load.  
Action Needed: Unplug one piece of  
equipment from the AC-215 / AC-210  
E, and push the re-set tab into the  
Circuit breaker bezel.  
The Extreme Voltage Shutdown LED is  
normally off. If an input voltage in excess of  
137VAC [270VAC for the AC-210 E or 260VAC  
for the AC-210 E UK] is sensed, either on initial  
power-up or during normal operation, the AC-  
215 / AC-210 E will shut off power and this  
indicator will light.  
Symptom: No power to the AC outlets, even  
after the Circuit breaker has been re-set.  
Possible Cause: Protection devices  
are damaged.  
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.  
Protection OK Indicator  
Although the Furman SMP+ circuit assures  
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 turn off. 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  
Service center for repair.

Installation  
The AC-215 / AC-210 E can be conveniently and inconspicuously mounted within an equipment  
rack or on the rear panel of your video display, using the included brackets.  
Refer to the illustrations below for instructions.  
The brackets can be positioned facing in or out as shown to best allow for different types of installations.
