Furman PL-PRO DMC E power conditioner with voodoo labs iso 5

[Mr. BassmanPT]

I do not know if this is the correct place to post this but here it goes anyway.

Each time i turn the conditioner on, the voltage indicator is set at about 150 Volt with the voltage range at red (indicating it is dangerous to operate) but the protection OK is green. After a few seconds, it rises to around 220 Volt where it is OK to operate. It then says the voltage is OK (green indicator) and the protection OK keeps the protection OK status (green). i guess this is the standard operating method as it does this everytime i turn it on. nothing against it.

The question is, i have a voodoo labs iso 5 that is currently plugged into one of the Furman outlets and does not have a power on button. So, each time i turn the Furman on, this device will go on at the same time. Will this damage my pedals? (please notice the Furman operation description i made in the first paragraph for everytime I turn it on)

already sent an email to furman but they ignored me. hope to get an answer from someone who knows.

thanks

Hiya. I haven't had any experience with Furman power conditioners but i'd take a guess & say they'd have a big inductor or several in series with the mains conductors & some capacitors in parallel. This is great for filtering out unwanted frequencies & resisting fast changes in voltage but slows the response time when turning it on & off.

Will this slow-rising voltage harm your ISO5? I doubt it. The ISO5 is a linear (not switchmode) power supply & should be fine with the slow-rising voltage. The regulators on the DC outputs won't turn on until they have enough voltage to work with.

thanks for the answer. anyone else willing to give me their insight?
