Furman sets new conditions for EMEA

Furman has launched its first power management solution for the EMEA market, the CN-3600-SE, which is compatible with the manufacturer's BlueBOLT hosted remote power and energy management platform.

The CN-3600-SE is intended to provide clean, safe power with Furman's SMP, EVS, and LiFT protection and filtration technologies (220V-240V, 16A capacity) combining AC power distribution, protection, filtration, and sequential system power on/off in a single rack-mount unit. Featuring Furman's SmartSequencing technology, the CN-3600S E allows large and complex A/V systems to be safely powered on and off with the press of a button or turn of a key by non-technical personnel.

SmartSequencing's bi-directional communications between installed units enables a primary unit to control and sequence multiple secondary units ensuring multi-zone electronic systems are powered on and off both safely and dependably from a single control point across an entire installation. The CN-3600S E features eight rear-panel IEC C-13 outlets arranged in four adjustable delay-sequence banks, in addition to one front-panel IEC C-13 outlet.

Multiple units can be connected via current loop at runs of more than 1300m with full backward compatibility with Furman's legacy sequencers. Equipped with an RS-232 port and command set for integration with control systems, the CN-3600S E can come equipped with an optional RS-232-to-Ethernet adaptor allowing it to be controlled, programmed and monitored from a smartphone, tablet, PC or any Web-enabled device via Telnet, direct HTTP connection or the BlueBOLT platform.

Connecting the CN-3600-SE to BlueBOLT enables integrators to reboot problem components remotely to address a myriad of common system issues immediately ranging from locked up components to bad communications handshakes. Powerful features for installers include email alerts when power anomalies occur, scheduled commands for power-up / down or power-cycling of outlets, the monitoring of incoming voltage in near-real time or over history and auto-reboot functionality to resolve networking equipment lock-ups automatically. In addition, BlueBOLT provides a future-proof solution as clients become more concerned with energy management, whilst offering a variety of features designed to monitor energy use closely, eliminating standby power, whilst enabling automated load-shedding.
