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 products enclosure that may  
be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of  
electric shock.  
additionally, the Power factor Pro is the most  
comprehensive power conditioner ever created  
for the serious musician. furmans series  
Multi-stage Protection Plus (sMP+) guards  
your equipment from voltage spikes that can  
damage your amplifier or other connected  
equipment.  
furmans sMP+ features unparalleled  
clamping voltage. While other designs offer  
clamping voltages that are well above 330Vpk,  
furmans sMP+ clamps at 188Vpk (133 VaC  
rMs) even when tested with multiple 6000Vpk  
- 3000 amp surges! and, our pro level over-  
voltage auto shutdown circuit assures you will  
never see your prized amplifier go up in flames  
due to a sustained voltage overload.

(Please read prior to installation)  
1. Please read and observe all safety and  
operating instructions before installing  
your Power factor Pro unit. retain these  
instructions for future reference.  
the Pf-Pro has a generous 12 amp r.M.s.  
capacity, a convenient 20 segment aC  
voltmeter, a detachable-locking aC cord,  
and (4) aC outlets, all contained in a small  
convenient, floor standing package. The PF-  
Pro r has the same features except its cord  
is not detachable and it has (8) rear outlets  
and (1) front panel outlet. it also features  
a BnC connector on the rear panel to allow  
attachment of any standard gooseneck lamp  
(such as furmans model Gn-i or Gn-led) to  
illuminate the rear of your rack.  
2. Your Power factor Pro unit 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 Power factor Pro unit  
near heat sources such as radiators, heat  
registers, stoves, or other appliances that  
produce heat.  
4. the Power factor Pro should only be  
connected to a 120 VaC, 60Hz, 15 amp (“e”  
version - 220 VaC, 10 amp) grounded electrical  
outlet. do not defeat the ground or change  
polarization of the power plug.  
5. Pay particular attention to the condition of  
the cords and cables at the plugs. to prevent  
risk of fire or injury, damaged cords and cables  
should be replaced immediately.

6. Clean your Power factor Pro unit with  
a damp cloth only. do not use solvents or  
abrasive cleaners. never pour liquid on or into  
the unit.  
the Power factor Pro, offers a 20 segment  
led bar-graph meter that displays incoming  
voltage between 90 and 128 volts in 2-volt  
increments. the normal range voltages are  
indicated in green, with moderately and  
extremely high or low voltages in yellow and  
red respectively. the voltmeters accuracy  
is ±2 volts. it can easily be recalibrated, if  
necessary.  
7. Your Power factor Pro unit should be  
serviced by qualified service personnel when:  
• the power supply cord or the plug has been  
frayed 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.  
• the “Protection oK” indicator is not lit.  
• the unit has been dropped, or the enclosure  
has been seriously damaged.  
the Pf-Pro r features a rear rack BnC  
socket which will accept any 12 VaC (0.5a)  
gooseneck lamp assembly, (such as the  
furman Gn-led or Gn-i). simply slide the  
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.  
8. Your Power factor Pro 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 invalidate the warranty.  
o P e r at i o n  
multi-Segment leD Voltmeter:  
this three-color, 20-led bargraph is an  
accurate, self checking aC voltmeter that  
continually measures input voltages. the  
meter reads from 90 to 128 volts in 2 volt  
steps (Power factor Pro e: 180 to 256 volts,  
in 4 volt steps). 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.  
9. do not attempt to service your Power factor  
Pro unit beyond what is described in this  
manual. all other servicing should be referred  
to qualified service personnel.  
f e a t u r e s  
the Power factor Pro has a master switch for  
the rear outlets that glows red when the power  
is on. The circuit breaker is located adjacent to  
the power switch for the Pf-Pro and on the rear  
panel for the Pf-Pro r. it can be quickly and  
easily reset should the unit be overloaded. the  
Pf-Pro also features a detachable 10 foot, 14  
gauge heavy-duty power cable.  
(1) on initial turn on, the voltmeter will  
scan for smart chip integrity.  
(2) if only the single leftmost (beneath  
the 90V mark) LED flashes, the input  
voltage is marginally low.

power factor pro manual  
(3) if all of the leds on the voltmeter  
flash, the input voltage is marginally  
high. Power to the Power factor  
Pros outlets will remain on unless the  
incoming voltage rises above the  
extreme Voltage shutdown (eVs)  
cut-off voltage (135 - 140 volts).  
to the “on” position.  
extreme Voltage Shutdown (eVS) Indicator:  
this led is normally off. it monitors a hazard  
unfortunately 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 Power factor Pros 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 units, the  
extreme Voltage indicator led will be lit if the  
input voltage is above the extreme voltage  
cutoff, and power will not be applied to the  
units outlets. if the unit has been operating  
with an acceptable input voltage and then that  
voltage goes above 135V, it will shut off power  
to the outlet and the extreme Voltage led will  
light.  
the Power factor Pros voltmeter has a basic  
accuracy of plus or minus two volts, and  
extreme cold or heat may cause an additional  
one volt of error (four volts and two volts for  
Power factor Pro e).  
NOTE: although the Power factor correction  
will more than compensate for peak current  
demands, the Power factor Pro does not  
compensate for sustained high or low line  
voltage. if you derive power from generators,  
travel internationally, or are in an area prone  
to extreme brownouts, you may benefit from  
the use of one of furmans aC line Voltage  
regulators.  
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 checking the source of the  
on/off rocker Switch:  
this 15 amp capacity power switch is  
specifically designed to stand up to the  
enormous high inrush current demands placed  
by many instrument amplifiers. Additionally, the problem first, and perhaps changing the AC  
semi-transparent rocker lights when switched source.

Importantnote:
The Power Factor Pro must be the first AC power component connected to the AC mains!  
regulators such as the furman ar-1215 or uPs systems such as the sB-1000 must be  
connected to the Power factor Pros output. this is due to the fact that the Pf-Pros current  
reservoir may hinder the performance of a regulator, and worst case may cause damage in  
extreme power environments.  
as long as the Power factor Pro is connected prior to the regulator or uPs both components  
may be used.
