over, or stressed. Pay particular attention to 

condition of cords and cables at plugs, and the 

point where they exit from the AR-1215 or AR-

2306. To prevent risk of fi re or injury, damaged 

cords and cables should be replaced immedi-

ately. 

5.  Clean the AR-1215 or AR-2306 with a damp cloth 

only. Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners. 

Never pour any liquid on or into the unit. 

6.  When left unused for a long period of time, the 

power cord of the AR-1215 or AR-2306 should 

be unplugged from the outlet. 

7.  The AR-1215 or AR-2306 should be serviced 

by qualifi ed service personnel when:

a. The power supply cord or the plug has been 

frayed, kinked, or cut. 

b. Objects have fallen or liquid has spilled into 

the unit. 

c. The AR-1215 or AR-2306 has been exposed to 

rain or other moisture. 

d. The AR-1215 or AR-2306 does not appear to 

operate normally or exhibits a marked change 

in performance. 

e. The AR-1215 or AR-2306 has been dropped, 

or the enclosure damaged.

8.  The AR-1215 or AR-2306 requires that a safety 

ground be present for proper operation. Any 

attempt to operate the AR-1215 or AR-2306 

without a safety ground is considered improper 

operation and could invalidate the warranty.

9.  There are no user serviceable parts in the AR-

1215 or AR-2306. Refer servicing to qualifi ed 

service personnel only.

NOTE: The three models in the AR-Series differ in 

their nominal AC output voltages. Model AR-1215 

produces 120 VAC. Model AR-1215J produces 

either 100 or 120 VAC. Model AR-2306 produces 

either 220, 230, or 240 VAC.

Where differences exist between models, informa-

tion applicable to the AR-2306 is shown in the text of 

this manual in brackets [ ].

FIRST: SELECT THE CORRECT VOLT-

AGE!

Before using your Voltage Regulator, be sure that if 

there is an output voltage switch on the rear panel 

(just above the cord, on Models AR-1215J and 

AR-2306 only), it is correctly set for the AC voltage 

required by your equipment. Each item of equipment 

that you intend to power with the Voltage Regula-

tor should have its required voltage indicated on it, 

usually on the rear near the cord. If in doubt, consult 

your dealer.

Furman Voltage Regulators are intended to pro-

tect sensitive electronic equipment from problems 

caused by AC line voltage irregularities—brownouts 

or overvoltages that can cause audio tonal changes, 

digital equipment malfunction (such as loss of MIDI 

programs or other data), or, in extreme cases, 

permanent damage. They accept input voltages 

over a wide AC voltage range (see table on page 2) 

and convert them to a steady, stable output at the 

desired standard voltage, plus or minus fi ve [ten] 

volts. Voltages approximately ±10% beyond that 

range may be converted to usable levels, depending 

on the requirements of the equipment. See graphs 

on the back page.

The AR-1215 has eight [AR-2306 has ten IEC-320]
