M-10
The M-10 power distributor is a convenient way
to power your rack. It provides 10 outlets on its
rear panel and carries a 15 amp rating with a
circuit breaker.
M-8
The M-8 power conditioner provides 9 switched
outlets for powering equipment. It not only
protects anything plugged into it from spikes
and surges, but also has a built in AC noise
filter to rid the system of RFI / EMI interference.
This allows equipment to function better and
last longer.
M-8L
In addition to features of the M-8, the M-8L
features incandescent rack lights. A dimmer
control for the rack lights allows the user to
adjust the level of illumination or simply switch
the lights off. The M-8L has a master switch for
all outlets that glows red when the power is on.
The front-panel circuit breaker can be quickly
and easily reset should the unit be overloaded.
The M-8L also features 5.5 feet of 14 gauge
heavy-duty power cable.
M-8D
In addition to all the features of the M-8 and
M-8L, the M-8D offers a laboratory precision
digital meter that displays incoming voltage in 1-
volt steps. The voltmeter’s accuracy is ±2 volts.

Retractable Rack Lights and Dimmer Control:
The M-8L and M-8D utilize 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
racklight’s switch to off to better maximize the
life of the bulbs.
Digital Voltmeter: (M-8D)
Furman’s digital voltmeter continually
measures incoming voltages within a typical
tolerance of +/-2VAC. It should be noted
that the voltage reading is incoming. No
adjustment should be necessary on these
units.
NOTE: The Merit Series units do not
compensate for 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 may
benefit from the use of one of Furman’s AC
Line Voltage Regulators.
On/Off Rocker Switch:
This 15 amp capacity power switch is
specifically designed to stand up to the
enormous high inrush current demands of
many Power Amplifiers. Additionally, the semi-
transparent rocker lights when switched to the
“ON” position.

1.) Symptom: No power to the AC outlets.
Possible Cause: Circuit breaker has tripped
due to excessive load.
Action Needed: Remove one piece of
equipment from the Merit Series unit, and push
the square re-set tab into the Circuit breaker
bezel.
