Safety Precautions
Please ensure you have read and understand all of the safety information located in
the front of this manual. If you have any questions concerning any of the safety
information, or if you are concerned that your home may not be properly wired for
this equipment, please contact APC Technical Support or a qualified and licensed
electrician.
Unit Power Capacity
The S10 Power Conditioner is rated for 700 watts (continuous), and the S15 is rated
for 1000 watts (continuous). However, they are designed to support component
inrush currents that are much higher than their continuous power rating. The S10 and
S15 are capable of supplying the dynamic peak current draws required by any
component designed to work on a 15 amp circuit. Despite the power ratings listed on
their nameplates, high performance AV equipment draws much less than their listed
power ratings. The S10 and S15 also allow the user to determine how much power is
still available as each device is connected to the S10 or S15 unit.
Features
The Model S10 and S15 Power Conditioners’ major features are covered in the
following descriptions.
Pure Sine Wave Battery Backup
Both the S10 and S15 provide battery backup power to maintain pure, uninterrupted
power for your home theater and automation systems in the event of a power
blackout. Battery backup power not only prevents interruptions in your audio and
video entertainment, it also helps prevent lost pre-sets, lost multimedia server data,
damaged hard drives, and premature projector bulb wear and tear.
Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR)
The S10 and S15 are unique in that they provide automatic voltage regulation
(AVR), which compensates for excessive high and low voltage conditions. With
AVR, all devices connected to the S10 or S15 are protected against voltage
fluctuations, which also prolongs the life of your AV equipment. Low voltage
conditions can also negatively impact video quality, and AVR can help improve
picture quality if low voltage conditions are present.
