We are now shipping the CN-3600 SE (220V-240V, 16A capacity) SmartSequencer™, the first power management solution for the EMEA market for Furman’s Contractor Series. Designed for commercial A/V installers, the unit combines optional BlueBOLT functionality with AC power distribution, protection, filtration, and sequential system power on/off.
The CN-3600 SE features Furman’s SmartSequencing™ technology, which allows large and complex A/V systems to be powered on and off safely with the simple press of a button or turn of a key, even by nontechnical personnel. The SmartSequencer’s bidirectional communications between installed units enables a primary unit to control and sequence multiple secondary units, ensuring multizone electronic systems are powered on and off safely and dependably from a single control point across an entire installation. Multiple units can be connected via current loop at runs of more than 1,000 feet, with backwards compatibility with Furman’s legacy sequencers and/or third-party products.
Providing robust control options, the CN-3600 SE is equipped with an RS-232 port and command set for integration with control systems. An optional RS-232-to-Ethernet adaptor — the BB-RS232, sold separately and available in 2013 — allows the unit 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, power-down, or power-cycling of outlets; 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 offers a variety of features designed to monitor energy use closely, eliminate standby power, and enable automated load-shedding.
The 1RU rack-mount unit features eight rear-panel IEC C-13 outlets — in addition to one front-panel convenience outlet — in four adjustable delay-sequence banks. All outlets provide clean, safe power with Furman’s SMP, EVS, and LiFT protection and filtration technologies.
“The CN-3600 SE is packed with advanced features including our SmartSequencing platform and our proven protection and filtration technologies. Connecting it to BlueBOLT will take its capabilities to an entirely new level,” said John Benz, director of power and accessories, Core Brands.
