Furman rs1 User Guide

The RS-1 Remote System Control Panel is an 

attractively finished key switch designed for 

use in single-gang wall mount boxes. It can 

control, from one location, all Furman power 

products that have 

remote capability, such 

as the Furman AR-PRO, 

ASD-120, MiniPort-15, 

MiniPort-20, PowerLink, 

the PowerPort, PS-

8R, and the PS-PRO. 

Multiple units can be 

controlled simultane-

ously. 
The RS-1 features a 

two-position key oper-

ated switch, an indicator 

LED, and can be easily 

installed in any electrical switch box with a mini-

mum depth of 1-1/4”. On the rear is a printed 

circuit board with a standard size terminal strip 

for wiring connections.
The RS-1 may also be compatible with other 

AC power distribution and sequencing prod-

ucts. Our Technical Support team will be 

happy to advise you on your specific installa-

tion needs.

RS-1 SPECIFICATIONS:

Dimensions: 4.75” (H) x 2.75” (W) x 1.25” (D). 

Finish: black epoxy powder coat.

The RS-2 Remote System Control Panel is 

identical to the RS-1 in most respects, but with 

a momentary function rather that maintained. 

The key switch offers an enable/disable func-

tion.
The RS-2 can control 

multiple power products 

by wiring their control 

inputs in parallel. The 

RS-2 is ideal for instal-

lations requiring multiple 

remote switches. For in-

stallations requiring only 

one remote maintained 

contact switch, we rec-

ommend the RS-1.
The RS-2 may also be 

compatible with other AC power distribution 

and sequencing products. Our Technical Sup-

port team will be happy to advise you on your 

specific installation needs.

RS-2 SPECIFICATIONS: 

Dimensions: 4.75” (H) x 2.75” (W) x 1.25” (D). 

Finish: black epoxy powder coat.

Connecting the RS-1 or RS-2 Remote Control Panel 

is easy. For the simplest of installations, a single pair 

cable will suffice (standard 24-28 AWG telephone 

wire is fine). This allows ON/OFF control only. To 

enable the RS-1 or RS-2’s SYSTEM ON indicator, it 

will be necessary to run a 2-pair cable.

Both Remote Control Panels are clearly labeled 

on the rear panel adjacent to the terminal strip. For 

single-pair wiring, connect the +V terminal of your 

power product to the +V terminal of the RS-1 or RS-

2.

Next, connect the REM terminal of your power 

product to the REM terminal of the RS-1 or RS-2, 

and your installation is complete. Most newer Fur-

man products default to ON if the REM input is left 

open or tied to GND. This allows normal front panel 

operation if the unit is not being used with a remote 

control panel. 

It is recommended that where long wire runs (> 200 

ft.) or noisy environments are encountered, 2-pair 

cable be run, even if the indicator is not needed. 

This allows rejection of AC noise and interference 

by tying the REM input to GND when the unit is on.

For installations using 2-pair cable, +V and REM 

connections are identical; just add wires from the 

STAT terminal to STAT terminal, and GND terminal 

to GND terminal.

Though the connection doesn’t require a  shielded 

cable, in particularly noisy environments a shielded 

cable can be used by connecting the shield between 

the GND terminals of the product and the RS-1 or 

RS-2.
