SmartSequencing™
Furman SmartSequencing™ is a contractor-friendly technology that
makes AC power sequencing easy to employ by non-technical person-
nel. Using SmartSequencing technology, multiple Furman Contactor
Series units can be linked together over distances up to 1000 feet using
inexpensive two conductor wire. These same two wires not only control
the sequencers, but also form the backbone of an amazingly robust
and reliable communication system through which information about
status, voltage, current, and power can be queried from any device in the
SmartSequencing network.
Generally, high-priced automation systems are used for large, innovative
installs, yet these control systems seldom combine AC power distribution
and bidirectional sequencing. SmartSequencing™ provides the answer
right out of the box by offering a simple approach to AC power manage-
ment and control. Furman’s newest power sequencing technology is
an end-to-end solution that is operational up to 1000 feet via a non-
polarized, isolated current loop. In situations where power sequencing is
critical, or more than one AC electrical circuit is utilized, wiring Furman
SmartSequencing™ products in series is simple, fast and reliable.
EVS (EXTREME VOLTAGE SHUTDOWN)
Furman’s trusted (EVS) over-voltage detection protects against prolonged
over-voltage conditions, such as accidental connections to 208 or 240
VAC or an intermittent loss of neutral. It does so by continuously monitor-
ing the incoming AC voltage and when an unsafe condition is detected,
a relay shuts off the power to the outlets until the overvoltage condition
has subsided. The Miniport also allows the EVS shut-down feature to be
overridden. The Extreme Voltage Shutdown technology is a tremendous
asset.

Remote Access (and BlueBOLT
®
)
The Miniport is a member of Furman’s Contractor series of devices. All
members of the Contractor series can be controlled remotely using an
integral data-link and command API. The remote access feature delivers
integration with various control systems. The API provides a rich set of
commands and queries that allow remote control and situational aware-
ness over large distances. Furman’s optional BlueBOLT
®
RS-232-to-
Ethernet adaptor provides additional control programming and monitoring
from any Web-enabled device via Telnet, direct HTTP connection, or www.

Security and Safety
The Miniport is readily adaptable to a wide range of installation requests
and requirements. It was designed from the ground up to be out-of-
box compatible with Furman legacy and third party equipment. Forced
Off inputs and selectable DIP switch settings are provided to allow easy
interface to devices, such as alarm systems.
Additional Features
The Miniport is equipped with LED indicators to provide visual aid in
tracking conditions such as power, protection, sequencing and communi-
cation. The Miniport CN-15MP is supplied by a 14 AWG, 10 foot AC cord.
And the Miniport CN-20MP is supplied with a 12 AWG, 10 foot AC cord.
All Contractor Series units are backed by our exclusive 15 year Limited
Warranty
