Important Safety Instructions  
1. Please read and observe all safety and operating instructions  
before installing your Power Station-10D (PST-10D). Retain these  
instructions for future reference.  
2. Your PST-10D 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. Do not place your PST-10D near heat sources such as radiators,  
heat registers, stoves or other appliances that produce heat.  
4. The PST-10D should only be connected to a 120 VAC, 60Hz, 15  
amp 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 PST-10D. To prevent risk of fire or injury,  
damaged cords and cables should be replaced immediately.  
6. Clean your PST-10D with a damp cloth only. Do not use solvents  
or abrasive cleaners. Never pour liquid on or into the unit.

7. Your PST-10D 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, exhibits a marked  
change in performance, or the Protection OK indicator is not lit.  
• The unit has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.  
8. Your PST-10D 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 invalidate the warranty.  
Operation –  
AC, Telephone, and Coaxial Connectors  
Digital – Video Outlets:  
All (10) AC outlets feature Furman’s exclusive Linear Filtering  
Technology, and will noticeably improve audio and video performance  
by dramatically lowering incoming AC noise.  
However, many video and digital processing components can  
actually induce noise into adjacent circuits since all of the system’s  
components are joined at the power strip’s AC outlets. The PST-  
10D employs additional ultra-sonic filtering for both digital and  
video components. This additional filtering assures peak system  
performance by preventing AC noise or back-wash from cross-

contaminating an adjacent unit. For example, a television plugged  
into the digital – video filtered outlets will not affect an audio receiver-  
controller connected to one of the PST-10D’s standard or delayed  
outlets.  
Delayed AC Outlets – Trigger Switch and 12VDC inlet:  
The PST-10D features (3) delayed AC outlets. Today’s Home  
Theater and Home Recording- Studio components rarely require  
delayed soft-start from an external AC outlet because their circuits  
feature soft-start turn-on. Delayed turn-on prevents annoying  
loudspeaker “pops” as well as preventing circuit breaker nuisance  
tripping. Since some amplifiers, powered loudspeakers and powered  
sub-woofers do not have this feature internally, they will require the  
PST-10D’s delayed turn-on circuit. Simply plug power amplifiers and  
subwoofers into the delayed outlets. This will create about a two  
second delay before these outlets are energized.  
The mini switch should be in the trigger bypass position for normal  
operation. If the mini switch is in the trigger input position, these  
outlets will not energize.  
If an external 12V sequencer or a receiver with a 12V sens circuit  
is used, simply connect the sens circuits mini phone jack to the  
12V input, and change the mini switch setting to trigger input. The  
other (7) AC outlets will still be controlled by the PST-10D’s main AC  
switch, but the (3) delayed AC outlets will be energized and turned  
off by your remote 12V sens circuit. 12 volts (+/- 2V) must be present  
for the delayed outlets to energize from a remote sens trigger.

Telco – Satellite – Cable Transient Voltage Surge Suppressors:  
The PST-10D features transient voltage surge suppression for both  
standard telephone lines, as well as cable and satellite lines utilizing  
standard coaxial connectors. As these surge suppressors are in-  
line, they will require an additional cable to connect from their output  
to the control device requiring protection.  
All in-line surge suppressors feature our exclusive ground  
contamination free technology. This aids in eliminating audio  
buzzing, and the video hum-bars that can result from typical in-line  
suppressors. Further, our cable and satellite suppressors are TIVO  
friendly as well as HD-Digital Television ready. Both DC carrier  
signals as well as high bandwidth signals can pass through our  
circuit. In fact the bandwidth is less than 0.1dB loss at 1GHz!  
To connect your cabling to these in-line protectors, simply follow the  
in and out indications marked next to the Telco, Cable and Satellite  
connectors.  
Note:It is not possible to make an in-line cable or satellite protector  
“maintenance-free” as we have accomplished with the 120 VAC line.  
This would necessitate limited signal bandwidth that would not allow  
the signal to pass. Under extreme conditions, it is possible that the  
surge suppression in one of these devices could sacrifice itself after  
a catastrophic event. If the telephone, cable or satellite signal will no  
longer pass through our protector, please send your Power Station  
to Furman for servicing. To test this, simply disconnect the incoming  
6
nload from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Downl  
and out going cable from the PST-10D. Connect the incoming  
connector to the component that formerly received the out going  
connector, thus by-passing the in-line protection. If the signal is  
present (but not when used with the PST-10D’s) then the protection  
circuit is damaged (assuming it worked properly before the storm or  
catastrophic event).  
Circuit Breaker  
If the PST10D is connected to an AC outlet where sufficient voltage  
is present, the unit should operate properly with the protection OK  
indicator lit, after the main power switch is turned to the on position.  
If the unit still does not function under these conditions, check the  
circuit breaker button! It is the round black button adjacent to the  
incoming AC cord. If the circuit breaker trips immediately, there may  
be too great of a current load placed upon it. Simply disconnect one  
product at a time until this no longer happens. If the breaker trips  
with no components connected, there may be a wiring defect that  
requires Furman service.  
Indicators  
Extreme Voltage Shutdown Indicator  
Furman’s SMP+ circuit senses sustained voltages that are high  
enough to cause damage to your components, and shuts the  
power down before damage can occur. Such conditions can include  
accidental connection to  
a
240VAC source (where 120VAC is  
expected), or an open neutral from a 208 or 240VAC source.  
The Extreme Voltage Shutdown LED is normally off. If an input  
7
nload from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Downl  
voltage in excess of 137VAC is sensed, either on initial power-up  
or during normal operation, the PST-10D will shut off power and this  
indicator will light.  
NOTE: If the mains power is above the high cutoff voltage and has  
caused the unit to remove power from its outlets, it can not 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 virtually maintenance-  
free protection from transient voltage spikes and surges, nature  
has a way of occasionally creating electrical forces that are beyond  
the capabilities of any transient voltage surge suppressor device to  
absorb without some degree of damage. In the rare instance that  
this occurs, the blue “Protection OK” LED indicator will turn off. If this  
happens, some level of protection from voltage surges will remain,  
but Furman’s clamping voltage rating will be compromised. The unit  
must be returned to Furman Sound or an authorized Furman Service  
center for repair.  
Mounting  
If the Power Station needs to be mounted to the inside panel of a rack  
or hung from a wall, a convenient crossed oval cutout is provided on  
the unit’s bottom panel. A standard No. 6 pan head screw can be  
used in the same way a picture is hung from a wall. Simply measure  
the centers on the bottom of your Power Station. This will be the  
8
nload from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Downl  
distance from the two mounting hole drilled into your wall, rack or  
cabinet surface. Once the screw is fastened flush with the surface,  
back it out approximately ½” . The screw head should push through  
the crossed cutout on the bottom surface of the Power Station. Next,  
simply allow the Power Station to move down and seat into the end  
of its oval cut-out. Adjust the pan head screw if necessary.
