• Disjoncteur: The built-in circuit breaker will trip if the connected load exceeds 15 Amps, protecting your equipment from overcurrent. If the breaker trips, reduce the load by unplugging some devices, then reset the switch.

6. Entretien

The Furman SS6B is constructed with a heavy-duty metal chassis designed for durability. For internal repairs or advanced maintenance, the unit can be opened by removing the screws on the underside. This design allows for easier servicing if needed. Always ensure the unit is unplugged before attempting any internal access.

7. Dépannage

• Absence de courant aux prises : Check if the illuminated ON/OFF switch is in the 'ON' position. If it is, the circuit breaker may have tripped. Reduce the load and reset the switch. Ensure the wall outlet itself is functioning.
• Noise/Hum in Audio Equipment: The SS6B includes EMI/RFI filtering to reduce common line noise. If noise persists, ensure all audio cables are properly shielded and grounded. In some complex setups, additional power conditioning may be required.
• Protection contre les surtensions : The SS6B is a surge suppressor. In the event of a significant power surge, the unit's internal protection components may sacrifice themselves to protect your connected equipment. If a surge occurs and the unit no longer functions or the 'Protection' indicator light is off, the unit may need to be repaired or replaced.
