INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing a Furman Merit Series Power Conditioner, and congratulations on your choice. The Merit Series power conditioners feature excellent surge protection as well as RFI / EMI AC noise filtration.

SAFETY INFORMATION

To obtain best results from your Furman Merit Series unit, please read this manual carefully before using.

WARNINGS

To reduce the risk of electrical 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 uninsulated dangerous voltage within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock.

IMPORTANT SAFETY GUIDELINES

(Please read prior to installation)

1. Please read and observe all safety and operating instructions before installing your Merit Series unit. Retain these instructions for future reference.
2. Your Merit Series 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 Merit Series unit near heat

sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances that produce heat.

1. The Merit Series units should only be connected to a 220, 230, or 240 VAC, 50-60Hz, 10 amp outlet.
2. 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 Merit Series unit. To prevent risk of fire or injury, damaged cords and cables should be replaced immediately.
3. Clean your Merit Series unit with a damp cloth only. Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners. Never pour liquid on or into the unit.

4. If any of the following events occur, contact Furman Customer Service immediately at 1-707-763-1010:

5. The power supply cord or the plug has been frayed, kinked, or cut.

6. Objects have fallen or liquid has spilled into the unit.
7. The unit has been exposed to rain or other moisture.
8. The unit does not appear to operate normally.
9. The unit has been dropped, or the enclosure has been damaged.

10. The retractable lights have failed.

11. Do not attempt to service your Merit Series unit beyond what is described in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel.

FEATURES

M-10X E

The M-10x E power conditioner provides 11 switched outlets for powering equipment. It not only protects anything plugged into it from spikes and surges, but also has a built in AC noise filter to rid the system of RFI / EMI interference. This allows equipment to function better and last longer.

M-10LX E

In addition to features of the M-10x E, the M-10Lx E features LED rack lights and wide bandwidth AC filtering. A dimmer control for the rack lights allows the user to adjust the level of illumination.

OPERATION

Retractable Rack Lights and Dimmer Control: The M-10Lx E utilizes a dimmer control for the two retractable front panel light tubes. The dimmer knob controls the brightness of both light fixtures. Turn it clockwise to increase brightness; turn it counter-clockwise to decrease brightness. When the lights are not in use, we recommend pushing the fixtures all the way into the chassis to better maximize the life of the bulbs.

NOTE: The Merit Series units do not compensate for high or low line voltage. If you frequently move your rack to different locations, derive power from generators, use long extension cords, travel internationally, or are in an area prone to brownouts, you may benefit from the use of one of Furman's AC Line Voltage Regulators.

On/Off Rocker Switch:

The front panel on/off rocker switches power on and off to all outlets (including the front panel outlet) as well as the retractable LED lights (M-10Lx E). This 10 amp capacity power switch is specifically designed to stand up to the enormous high inrush current demands of many power amplifiers.

Circuit breaker:

If you are not getting any power to the outlets even though the unit is switched on, the circuit breaker might have tripped. To reset the circuit breaker, push the round reset button located on the rear panel.

Power Cord:

Your Merit Series product includes a 3/1.0 mm AWG, 2.5 meter, black IEC Female to Schuko male removable power cord. If another cord is needed at your installation, please contact your Furman distributor or Furman Sound directly at 1-707-763-1010.

DEFINITIONS

SPIKE: This is a pulse of energy on the power line. Spikes can have voltages as high as 6000 volts. Though they are usually of very short duration, the energy they contain can be considerable, enough to damage sensitive solid-state components in audio and computer equipment. Spikes can also foul switch contacts and degrade wiring insulation. They are an unavoidable component of electric power. They are caused unpredictably by electric motors switching on or off (on the premises or outside), utility company maintenance operations, lightning strikes and other factors. Spikes (also called surges or transients) are absorbed by special components in the Merit Series to provide safe voltage levels to protect your equipment.

RFI/EMI INTERFERENCE: Noise from RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) or EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference) involves lower voltages and less energy than is found in spikes, but it is continuous rather than transient in nature. It is not likely to cause damage, but it can certainly be annoying, producing static in audio circuits, "snow" on video screens, or garbled data in computers. Noise can be introduced into AC lines by nearby radio transmitters, certain kinds of lighting, electric motors, and other sources. Because noise occurs at higher frequencies than the 50 or 60 Hz AC line, it can be effectively reduced through use of low-pass filtering.
