- Volume extrêmetage Shutoff (EVS): Automatically disconnects power to connected equipment in the event of extreme voltage fluctuations, protecting against severe damage.
- Cordon d'alimentation de 15 pieds : Offers extended reach and flexibility for placement.
- Construction durable : Built with a robust metal chassis for enhanced longevity and reliability.
- Protection and Indicator Lights: Visual indicators confirm active protection and proper wiring.
Installation
Déballage et placement
Carefully remove the Furman SS-6B-PRO from its packaging. Place the surge strip on a stable, flat surface, or mount it securely using its integrated mounting holes. Ensure the 15-foot power cord can reach a grounded wall outlet without being stretched or obstructed.

Connexion à l'alimentation
- Ensure the power switch on the SS-6B-PRO is in the "OFF" position.
- Plug the surge strip's power cord into a standard, grounded 120V AC wall outlet.
- Flip the power switch to the "ON" position. The "Protection" indicator light (green) should illuminate, confirming that the surge protection circuitry is active and functioning correctly. If the "EVS" indicator light (red) illuminates, it indicates an extreme voltage condition, and the unit has shut off power to protect connected devices.
Mode d'emploi
Connexion des appareils
Once the surge strip is powered on and the "Protection" light is green, you can begin connecting your electronic devices. The SS-6B-PRO features six AC outlets designed to accommodate various power adapters, including larger "wall wart" style plugs, due to their spacing.

- Plug your devices directly into any of the six available outlets.
- Ensure all plugs are fully inserted into the outlets.
- Avoid overloading the surge strip. The SS-6B-PRO is rated for 15 Amps / 120 Volts. Do not exceed the maximum current rating of the unit.
Les voyants lumineux expliqués
| Indicateur | Couleur | Signification |
|---|---|---|
| Protection | Vert | Indicates that the surge protection circuitry is active and functioning. |
| EVS (Extreme Voltage Shutoff) | Rouge | Indicates that an extreme voltage condition has occurred, and the unit has automatically shut off power to protect connected equipment. |
Entretien
The Furman SS-6B-PRO requires minimal maintenance. Follow these guidelines to ensure optimal performance and longevity:
- Nettoyage: Disconnect the surge strip from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the exterior. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the power cord and the unit for any signs of damage, such as frayed wires or cracks in the casing. If damage is found, discontinue use and contact Furman support.
- Resetting after EVS Activation: If the EVS light illuminates, indicating a power event, disconnect all devices, turn the surge strip off, wait a few moments, then turn it back on. If the "Protection" light turns green, it is safe to reconnect your devices. If the EVS light remains red, the unit may require service.
Dépannage
| Problème | Cause possible | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Les appareils connectés ne sont pas alimentés. | Surge strip is off, wall outlet is not active, or EVS has activated. | Ensure the power switch is ON. Check the wall outlet with another device. If EVS light is red, follow the resetting procedure in the Maintenance section. |
| "Protection" light is off. | Unit may be damaged or surge protection has been compromised. | If the "Protection" light does not illuminate when the unit is powered on, the surge protection may no longer be active. The unit should be replaced. |
| "EVS" light is red and unit is off. | Vol extrêmetage event detected. | This is normal operation during an extreme voltage event. Follow the resetting procedure in the Maintenance section. If it repeatedly activates, consult an electrician. |
| Interference (humming, buzzing) in audio equipment. | Electrical noise (EMI/RFI) in the power line. | The SS-6B-PRO is designed to reduce EMI/RFI. Ensure all audio equipment is plugged into the same surge strip to minimize ground loops. If interference persists, consult an audio technician. |
