1. Please read and follow all instructions.
2. Keep these instructions.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. WARNING: This device is intended for
indoor use only. Do not use this device near
water. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock,
do not expose this device to rain or moisture.
5. CAUTION: Functioning Always On recep-
tacles. To reduce risk of shock, please disconnect
the CN-1800S / CN-2400S Sequencer from AC
power before servicing any equipment connected
to the CN-1800S / CN-2400S Sequencer.
6. Clean only with dry cloth.
7. CAUTION: Do not install near any heat sources
such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
equipment that may produce heat.
13. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
polarized plug. A polarized plug has two blades,
with one wider than the other. The wide blade is
provided for your safety. If the provided plug does
not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for
replacement of the obsolete outlet. (*See next
page for 20A plug)
14. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
grounding prong. A ground type plug has two
blades and a third grounding prong. The third
prong is provided for your safety. If the provided
plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an elec-
trician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
15. WARNING: This device must be connected
to an AC outlet with a protective earth ground
connection.
SmartSequencing™ technology allows large
complex A/V systems to be safely power cycled
on and off with a simple key turn or press of a
button.
Series Multi-Stage Protection (SMP) ensures
zero downtime for mission critical installations by
safely eliminating dangerous surges and spikes.
Extreme Voltage Shutdown (EVS) with auto
reset safeguards against catastrophic under and
over voltage conditions.
Linear Filtering Technology (LiFT)
ensures maximum equipment performance by
reducing AC noise in a linear fashion
across a wide bandwidth.
Remote Access (RS-232) compatibility
with programming provides integration with
various control system platforms.
Security features include a key switch to prevent
unauthorized operation and cover shields to
prevent tampering with switch settings.
8. Protect the power cord from being walked on
or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit the
device.
9. WARNING: The DE-9 RS-232 communica-
tions port provides power for Furman accessories
(e.g. BB-RS232). Please verify pin assignment
and protocol before connecting any other manu-
facturer’s device to this port.
10. Please, only use accessories specified by the
manufacturer.
11. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.
Servicing is required when the unit has been
damaged in anyway or fails to operate.
12. WARNING: Do not use power cord as the
main power disconnect. The device is intended
for AC power sequencing.

ETHERNET – Color indicates status of link communi-
cation with BlueBOLT cloud based platform.
Indicates no connection via BlueBOLT
adapter (e.g. BB-RS232)
Indicates the unit has established active
communication through BlueBOLT adapter.
Please Note: The port is labeled COMM/POWER
and does provide 12VDC to suitable accessories.
Baud Rate 19200.
Unit has lost continuity and cannot communi-
cate SmartSequencing hierarchy.
Please Note: A slow blinking GREEN PRIMARY
LINK LED indicates the unit is configured as the
MAIN Primary unit per DIP Switch 8. (Factory
default).
Please Note: A SECONDARY DEVICE should have
a solid green PRIMARY LINK LED.
SECONDARY LINK – Multi-color LED indicates
communication status in regards to Primary Link
hierarchy:
Unit is communicating through
Primary Link to following unit’s Secondary Link IN.
Unit has lost continuity and cannot
communicate SmartSequencing hierarchy.
Please Note: An unlit SECONDARY LINK LED
indicates last unit in sequencing chain. A single
unit will have an unlit SECONDARY LINK LED.
PRIMARY LINK – Multi-color LED indicates communi-
cation status in regards to Secondary Link hierarchy:
Unit is communicating through Secondary
