Furman F1500-UPS-EUPS Power Backup

Furman F1500-UPS-E - UPS Power Backup

The Furman F1500-UPS-E is a premium uninterruptible power supply (UPS) designed specifically for audio/video professionals and home theatre enthusiasts. It delivers reliable battery backup, advanced surge protection, and superior noise filtration to safeguard your sensitive A/V equipment.

Overview

Traditional UPS systems were designed for IT applications and often lack features to protect and optimise premium audio and video components. The Furman F1500-UPS-E fills this gap with cutting-edge technology tailored to the demands of high-end audio, video, and control systems. It offers true sine wave output, advanced surge suppression, and programmable control for seamless integration with your home theatre setup.

Key Features

• 1500VA battery backup maintains critical data and allows orderly shutdown during power outages
• Series Multi-Stage Protection (SMP) with non-sacrificial surge suppression and zero ground contamination
• Exclusive Linear Filtering Technology (LiFT) for superior audio and video clarity across four isolated outlet banks
• Extreme Voltage Shutdown (EVS) protects equipment from sustained overvoltage conditions
• True Sine Wave output ensures reliable operation on battery power
• Expandable runtime with optional 1500VA battery packs (BATT1500E-EXT) for extended backup
• Open-source RS-232 control over four independent AC outlet banks for customised power management
• Dual programmable IR blasters for safe shutdown of remote components during blackouts
• Optional TCP/IP interface card (sold separately) enables remote control and power monitoring via web interface
• Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) maintains consistent 120V output (±5%-10%)
• Includes USB interface, critical load management, and optional rack ears
• BlueBOLT® technology (with optional TCP/IP card) for remote reboot and power control worldwide

Recommended Components

High-current devices such as power amplifiers, powered subwoofers, and high-wattage displays are not recommended for use with the F1500-UPS-E due to rapid battery drain and potential performance degradation. Ideal components include:

• Satellite receivers
• Cable boxes
• Digital video recorders (DVRs)
• Media servers
• High-resolution gaming consoles
• Lamp-based video displays
• Larger IP-based control systems

For power management of other equipment, Furman recommends Elite i or Reference i Series Power Conditioners. High-current devices benefit from solutions featuring Furman’s exclusive Power Factor Technology.

Approximate Run Time (1500VA)

• Satellite Receiver: 90 minutes
• Control System + Media Player: 40 minutes
• DLP Projector + Two Satellite Receivers: 11 minutes
• PVR + Four Satellite Receivers: 9 minutes

Note: Run times are guidelines only and depend on device and usage.
