Installation

Unpacking

Before unpacking your unit, inspect

the

carton

for

any obvious severe damage

to

the

box and internal protective materials.

If

internal damage

is

likely, contact

the

carrier

who

delivered

the

unit

before proceeding

with

unpacking.

If,

after unpacking,

shipping damage

is

evident, contact

the

carrier.

Save

all shipping and packing materials.

You

may need

them

if

you should

ever have

to

return

the

to

the

factory

for

servicing.

i unit, detachable

AC

cord, rack

mount

kit, owner's manual, and warranty registration

card.

If

anything

is

missing, please contact Furman Customer Service. Fill

out

and return your warranty registration card.

Registration

is

recommended because

it

can be used

to

establish

whether

the

unit

is

within

the

warranty period should your

original ownership

documents

be lost, and

it

assists

us

in

informing

you

about

upgrades or

other

vital information.

NOTE

to

CATV

System Installer:

This reminder

is

provided

to

call

the

CATV

system installer's

attention

to

Section 820-40

of

the

NEC

which provides specific

guidelines

for

proper

grounding.

In particular, Section 820-40 specifies

that

the

cable

ground

shall be connected

to

the

grounding

system

of

the

building,

as

close

to

the

point

of

cable

entry

as

practical.

Power

Source

The

power

source

to

which

the

Elite-20

PF

i

is

connected should be adequate

for

use at 20 Amps. The Elite-20

PF

i will operate

with

a

15

Amp

service

outlet;

however, nuisance

tripping

at

the

circuit breaker panel may result

if

the

system's continuous

current

draw

exceeds

15

Amps.

Placement

The Elite-20

PF

i

is

manufactured

with

four

rubber

feet for placement on any table, cabinet, shelf, or floor. These rubber feet

may be easily removed

with

a standard Philips screw driver

when

rack

mounting

adjacent

to

other

components. Placement

or

proximity

to

other

components

is

not

critical, and

the

Elite-20

PF

i does

not

produce any appreciable heat under standard

use. The Elite-20

PF

i may also be rack

mounted

in a standard 19" rack by attaching

the

Elite-20

PF

i rack ears. These rack

ears (contained

within

the

plastic rack

kit

package)

mount

flush

with

the

back

portion

of

the

Elite-20

PF

i's

front

panel. They

are attached

to

the

chassis by installing each rack ear

with

(3)

pan-head Philips screws contained

within

the

Elite-20

PF

i rack

mounting

kit. The

third

screw used

for

each rack ear

is

for

the

center hole, located towards

the

rear and aids in stabilizing

the

unit

when

rack

mounted.
