User Manual

Introduction

The Furman F1500-UPS is a sophisticated uninterruptible power supply (UPS) designed specifically for audio/video professionals and home theater enthusiasts. It provides reliable battery backup and advanced power conditioning to protect sensitive electronic components from power outages, surges, and line noise.

Unlike traditional UPS systems, the F1500-UPS incorporates Furman's proprietary technologies, including SMP (Series Multi-Stage Protection) for surge suppression and LiFT (Linear Filtering Technology) for noise reduction, ensuring pristine power delivery and optimal performance for your high-definition audio and video equipment.

Негизги өзгөчөлүктөрү

  • Сериялар Multi-Stage Protection (SMP): Provides the highest level of surge and spike protection available, ensuring virtually maintenance-free AC surge suppression.
  • Linear Filtering Technology (LiFT): Offers AC power filtering to ensure clean power for unequaled audio and video clarity, maintaining ultra-wide dynamic range.
  • Extreme Voltage Shutdown (EVS): Advanced circuitry detects dangerous voltage irregularities and safely powers down itself and connected equipment in unsafe conditions.
  • 1500 VA Battery Backup: Maintains critical data and allows orderly shutdown in the event of a power outage, providing substantial backup time.
  • True Sine Wave Output: Ensures utmost reliability to all connected equipment when running on battery power.
  • Dual Learning IR Blasters: Allows safe shutdown commands to be sent to remote components, such as projectors, during a blackout.
  • Кеңейтүү: Supports daisy-chaining of additional 1500VA battery packs (BATT1500E-EXT) for extended runtime.
  • Программалануучу башкаруу: Features open source RS-232 control over four independent AC outlet banks for integration with existing control units.

Орнотуу жана орнотуу

1. жайгаштыруу: Position the F1500-UPS in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and excessive moisture. Ensure adequate space around the unit for airflow.

2. Алгачкы кубаттоо: Before connecting any equipment, plug the F1500-UPS into a standard wall outlet and allow it to charge for at least 8-12 hours. This ensures the internal batteries are fully conditioned for optimal performance.

3. Туташтыруучу жабдуулар:

  • Identify the critical and non-critical load outlets on the rear panel. Critical loads (e.g., projectors, media servers, control systems) should be connected to the battery-backed outlets. Non-critical loads (e.g., less sensitive components) can be connected to the surge-protected only outlets.
  • Connect your audio/video components to the appropriate outlets on the F1500-UPS. Ensure all connections are secure.
  • For advanced control, connect the RS-232 port to your control system if applicable.
  • If using external battery packs, connect them to the designated external battery port.

4. Күйгүзүү: Press the power button on the front panel to turn on the F1500-UPS. The front display will illuminate, showing status information.

Батареянын камдык көчүрмөсүн сактоо режими: When AC power is lost, the F1500-UPS will automatically transfer to battery power, providing clean True Sine Wave output. The estimated runtime will be displayed, allowing you to safely shut down equipment if the outage узартылат.

IR башкаруу: The dual programmable IR blasters can be configured to send shutdown commands to specific components, such as projectors, when the UPS detects a power loss, preventing abrupt shutdowns that could damage sensitive equipment.

Техникалык тейлөө

The Furman F1500-UPS is designed for minimal maintenance. However, periodic checks and battery replacement are necessary to ensure continued optimal performance.

Батареяны алмаштыруу: The internal lead-acid batteries have a finite lifespan, typically 3-5 years depending on usage and environmental conditions. If the unit indicates a battery fault or significantly reduced runtime, the batteries will need to be replaced. Refer to the specific battery replacement instructions provided by Furman or contact authorized service personnel. It is recommended to use genuine Furman replacement battery packs (e.g., BATT1500E-EXT if applicable for internal replacement) to ensure compatibility and performance.

Тазалоо: Keep the unit clean and free of dust. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
