aR-15 Voltage RegulatoR / poweR conditioneR

Congratulations on your purchase of a 

Furman AR-15 AC Line Voltage Regula-

tor / Power Conditioner. The AR-Series 

regulators are designed specifically for 

any audio, video, or computer rackmount 

system requiring clean, filtered, and regu-

lated AC power for optimum operation.

aR-15 FeatuRes

 

Provides nine regulated, conditioned AC 

outlets—eight on the rear panel and one on 

the front

 

Series Multi-Stage Protection Plus 

(SMP+) with extreme voltage shutdown 

(EVS)

 

LiFT (Linear Filtering Technology) with 

zero ground contamination

  

Eight rear panel outlets and one front 

panel outlet

 

BNC connector on the rear panel allows 

you to attach any standard (12VAC 0.5 

amp) gooseneck lamp to illuminate the 

rear of your rack

 

Extreme Voltage Shutdown indicator LED

 

Output In Regulation indicator

 

Ten-LED bargraph input voltmeter

 

Fast-acting user-accessible circuit breaker 

protects against overload or shorts

 

Very low stray magnetic field leakage

 

Input capacity is 15 A; output capacity is 12 

to 15 A

saFety inFoRmation

to obtain best results from your Furman AR-15 
please be sure to read this manual carefully.

wARning: 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 cov-
ers. there are no user serviceable parts inside. 
Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, 
within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert 
the user to the presence of uninsulated danger-
ous voltage within the product’s enclosure that 
may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a 
risk of electric shock.

pLeAse ReAd pRioR to instALLAtion
1. please read and observe all of the safety and 

operating instructions before the AR-15 is 
operated. Retain these instructions for future 
reference.

2. The AR-15 should not be used near water 

— for example, near a bathtub, 
kitchen sink, in a wet basement, 
near a swimming pool, etc. 

3. do not place the AR-15 near 
heat sources such as radiators, 

heat registers, stoves, or other appliances 
that produce heat. 

4. Route the power cord and other cables so 

that they are not likely to be walked on, 
tripped over, or stressed. pay particular at-
tention to condition of cords and cables at 
plugs, and the point where they exit from the
