Model specifications

Manufacturer / exact model SKUFurman M-8x AR. Verify full regional suffix and revision from the physical nameplate.
Catalog category / topologyLine conditioners — rackmount AC conditioner; automatic voltage regulator. No battery or stored-energy backup.
Input voltage / supported range120 V AC nominal North American line; manufacturer-stated AVR capture range 97–141 V AC.
Output voltage / rangeRegulated 120 V AC ±5 V within the capture range.
Capacity / current15 A input; 12–15 A output capacity depending on input voltage (not a 15 A guarantee at every input).
Regulation / conditioning functionsToroidal-autotransformer True RMS regulation; EVS instantaneous over-voltage shutdown and delayed under-voltage shutdown, ECS over-current shutdown, and standard Furman conditioning.
Outlets / connectorsNine regulated/conditioned AC outlets: eight rear and one front.
Response / continuityVoltage correction is active within the stated capture range; no AVR correction-time figure is stated in the cited summary. Datasheet specifies 1 ns surge response. No battery or transfer ride-through.
Compatibility120 V North American equipment only; total load and each device must remain inside the reduced output/current rating. Not an isolation transformer or UPS.
Electrical safety / installation limitsGrounded 15 A source, sound protective earth, ventilation and correctly rated branch circuit required. Do not exceed input/output-current limits; EVS/ECS shutdown does not make unsafe wiring safe. Verify nameplate and manual.

Service and archival notes

  • Record the AC source, loaded current, connected equipment, observed voltage and test conditions separately from manufacturer-rated values.
  • This is a conditioning/distribution appliance, not a UPS: it cannot maintain output through a mains interruption.
  • Never open energized mains equipment. Quarantine units with damaged cords, overheated connectors, compromised enclosure or grounding, or evidence of liquid ingress.
  • Use the exact regional manual/nameplate for connector, branch-circuit, mounting, grounding and load requirements; this static record is not an installation approval.
