retractable rack Lights, rear panel Lamp 

and dimmer Control:

 

The PL-8 Pro II 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 counterclockwise 

to decrease brightness.  When the lights are 

not in use, we recommend turning the dimmer 

fully counterclockwise to maximize the life 

of the LED’s, however, this is not absolutely 

necessary.  Whether the light tubes are 

retracted or flush with the front panel, there will 

be no appreciable heat regardless of dimmer 

setting due to the efficiency of our full light 

spectrum LED’s.  The Series II’s front panel 

LED lamps must be replaced by qualified 

Furman service personnel. 

Both units feature a rear rack BNC socket 

which will accept any 12 VAC (0.5A) 

gooseneck lamp assembly, (such as the 

Furman GN-LED or GN-I).  Simply slide the 

BNC plug over the socket and rotate clockwise 

until the connector snaps into the locked 

position.  The rear rack lamp can be powered 

on or off with the rear light power switch 

located on the far left of the front panel.  

on/off Circuit Breaker: 

This 20 amp capacity magnetic circuit breaker 

switch is specifically designed to stand up to 

the enormous high inrush current demands 

of many Power Amplifiers. Additionally, the 

switch is shielded from accidental power 

disconnection with a hinged cover.  

Extreme Voltage Shutdown (EVS) Indicator:

 

This LED is normally off. It monitors a hazard 

common in the entertainment industry: wiring 

faults – for example, accidental connection 

to 220VAC where 120VAC is expected, or an 

open neutral from a 208 or 240VAC feed. The 

Series II SMP+ circuit senses voltages that 

are so high that operation would be impossible 

and shuts the power down before damage 

can occur.  Upon initially applying power to 

these units, the Extreme Voltage indicator 

LED will light if the input voltage is above the 

extreme voltage cutoff, and power will not be 

applied to the unit’s outlets. If the unit has been 

operating with an acceptable input voltage and 

subsequently that voltage exceeds 135V, it will 

shut off power to the outlet and the Extreme 

Voltage LED will light.  

notE:

 The P8-Pro II and PL-8 Pro II do not 

compensate for extremely 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 should use of one of Furman’s 

AC Line Voltage regulators. 

protection oK Indicator:

Although the Furman SMP+ circuit assures 

virtually protection from transient voltage 

spikes and surges, nature has a way of 

occasionally creating electrical forces that are 

beyond the capabilities of 

any

 TVSS device to 

absorb without some degree of damage.  In 

the rare instance that this occurs, the green 

“Protection OK” LED indicator located on your 

front panel will dim.  If this happens some level 

of protection from voltage surges will remain, 

but the Furman’s clamping voltage rating will 

be compromised. The unit must be returned 

to Furman Sound, or an authorized Furman 

Service center for repair. 

notE:

 If the mains power is above the high 

cutoff voltage and has caused the unit to 

remove power from its outlets, it cannot restore 

power without the operator manually turning 

the unit off, then on again. Avoid turning the 

unit back on, without first checking the source 

of the problem, and perhaps changing the AC 

source.
