The PL-PROD features an advanced digital voltage

meter, while the PL-PRODM and PM-PRODM provide

a laboratory grade True RMS digital voltage and

current meter. Both meters are located at the center-

front panel of their respective units.

The front panel also provides a switched convenience outlet

(clean, filtered power is provided at this outlet as well).

A premium quality 20 amp magnetic circuit breaker

functions as the units ON/OFF switch, located on the

far right. To prevent accidental loss of AC power, this

circuit breaker switch has a polymer shield with a

“snap-in” hinged cover. Simply pull the cover out when

you wish to set the switch to the ON or OFF position.

The rear panel contains eight switched AC outlets to

power your equipment, (4 for analog equipment and

4 with additional filtering for digital – computer

components, see below). These AC outlets are

spaced to accommodate up to four plug-mounted

power supplies (“wall warts”).

Power is delivered to the unit by a heavy duty 12 AWG

AC cord, 10 feet (2.4 m) in length for extra reach and

durability on stages and other high-traffic areas.

Additionally, these units feature three status LED’s to

indicate abnormal power conditions. Under extreme

conditions, these units will even keep themselves from

turning on if the voltage is below 90VAC or above

140VAC. During operation, the unit will automatically

shut down if the voltage rises above 140 volts.

Retractable Rack Lights and Dimmer Control: The
PL-PROD and PL-PRODM utilize a dimmer control for
the two retractable front panel light tubes. These light
tubes automatically turn off when fully pushed into the
front panel (a feature exclusive to Furman). The
dimmer knob controls the brightness of both light
fixtures. Turn it clockwise to increase brightness; turn it
counterclockwise to decrease brightness.

Light Tubes and Bulb Replacement: The PL-PROD
and PL-PRODM feature the familiar slide-out rack
lights pioneered by Furman. These units’ lamps come
supplied with five-watt night light bulbs. Replacements
are available at most hardware stores or almost
anywhere household light bulbs are sold.

Bulbs are easily replaced without removing the unit
from the rack.

Here’s How: First, pull the light tube(s) all the way out.
Unscrew the cap on the end of each tube to get
access to the bulb. (Be careful not to push the tubes in
after you have removed the caps.) To unscrew the
