I installed the Furman PS-PRO II - POWER CONDITIONER / SEQUENCER last night.
Bought a 6 foot 1/8" mono cable with plugs from Radio shack, $4. Plugged one end into my Denon AV 12 trigger 1, set-up in the Denon menu to turn trigger 1 on when zone 1 on.
Cut the other end, ground wire strands are just inside the black casing, connect those to ground, "active signal" wire has it's own insulation, strip that and connect to REM.
For some reason, must be default case for pro sound people on the road/go, default +12v will turn OFF the switched outlets. This means you have to take the top cover off and switch jumpers per the manual. I read that and kinda said to my self "hmm, let's first connect it and see", well yes default (for maintained switch) does turn off the switched outlets. So, I proceeded to below steps.
Manual:
Picts showing the inside and after I moved the jumper connector.
Denon off, Furman off, EP2500 off. Denon on, Furman automatically goes on in sequence with EP2500 last, kinda cool.
My only issue is when off the single green LED "blinks-blinks-blinks" to inform you power if off. I wish there was some way to turn off that feature.
Kinda off subject of this thread, but I was hoping the Furman would solve my other issue as well, ground loop hum.
But, the mighty Furman does NOT solve my ground loop hummmm issue
, so for now I'm still using cheater plugs.
I might buy one of these for $30,
www.parts-express.com/pe/pshowdetl.cfm?&Partnumber=248-6242&scqty=1or keep using the cheater plugs and once spring comes around really get my various items ground at same ground potential (if that's possible)
When building the home took these photos of elect service going into the home, they have these two ground rods tied together.
But not sure if this 3rd rod just around the garage corner near the service meter is tied to those other two rods or not, it should be. I'll run some copper to it just in case.
My self installed OTA antenna ("free" HD since 2005) is grounded to this per code.
My cable is Comcast cable is grounded nearer the home, I think to a H20 spigot, I'll also run that to the ground rod to see if same potential can be established.
This might be affecting my other A/V devices on the home without me realizing it.
Winter now, so a spring time job.
