6. Údržba
Čištění
To clean the unit, disconnect it from the power source and wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
Resetování jističe
If the M-8Lx experiences an overload (e.g., too many devices drawing excessive current), the rear panel circuit breaker may trip, cutting power to the outlets. To reset, disconnect some equipment, then push the circuit breaker button back in. If it trips repeatedly, reduce the load or investigate the connected equipment for faults.
7. Řešení problémů
- Žádné napájení do zásuvek:
- Ensure the M-8Lx is plugged into a live wall outlet.
- Check if the front panel power switch is in the ON position.
- Verify the rear panel circuit breaker has not tripped. Reset if necessary.
- Pullout Lights Not Working:
- Ensure the lights are fully extended.
- Adjust the Dimmer Control knob.
- Zkontrolujte, zda je hlavní vypínač zapnutý.
- Protection OK Indicator is Off:
- This indicates the surge protection may be compromised. The unit will still pass power, but without surge protection. Contact Furman support for service.
- Audible Noise or Hum:
- While the M-8Lx filters AC line noise, some noise can originate from other sources. Ensure all audio equipment is properly grounded and interconnected.
- Test equipment directly into a wall outlet to isolate the source of the noise.
