Furman POWERPORT Controller

The Furman PowerPort comprises the building blocks of Furman's versatile new high performance power conditioning and distribution system, intended for medium size to the largest audio, video, and multimedia installations. An individual PowerPort provides control, timing, monitoring, and power conditioning capability for a single equipment site. All critical circuit functions are governed by an internal microprocessor.

PowerPorts offer the same renowned RFI/EMI and spike/surge protection as Furman's top-of-the-line PRO Series rackmount power conditioners. A PowerPort can safely absorb up to a whopping 11,000 amperes of spike/surge current in any mode (hot-neutral, neutral-ground, or hot-ground), using a unique array of protection devices including MOV's, gas discharge tubes, high voltage inductors and capacitors, and fast-blow fuses. It also provides over 60 dB of common-mode attenuation in the 1-200 MHz RF band. An additional feature, Extreme Voltage Shutdown, fights a hazard particularly common in the entertainment industry: wiring faults -- for example, accidental connection to 220V.

FEATURES

• One PowerPort controls one 20 amp circuit - an unlimited number of additional 20 amp circuits may be controlled by adding more PowerPorts
• Turn-on or turn-off sequence is initiated by a simple switch closure - switches may be momentary or latching
• Can use multiple remote on-off switches for multi-location control
• PRO-Series level spike and surge clamping and EMI/RFI filtering provides the most comprehensive power protection available anywhere!
• High reliability 25 amp relays
• Incoming mains voltage is monitored for acceptable levels, with marginal voltages causing flashing alerts and extreme voltages causing protective shutdown
• Manual mode allows delays to be overridden for troubleshooting
• Screwdriver-adjustable turn-on and turn-off delay times, each independently settable from 0 to 60 seconds
• Units may be wall-mounted or rack-mounted (half rack size) with appropriate mounting kits
