Surge Protection
The S10 and S15 provide guaranteed protection against damaging surges, spikes and
even lightning strikes. The S-Type conditioners not only provide protection from
surges traveling over AC power lines, protection is also offered against surges
traveling over system data lines including COAX, telephone and Ethernet lines (This
varies by model, reference the Specifications section for more information).
Isolated Noise Filter Banks
Both the S10 and S15 eliminate electromagnetic and radio frequency interference
(EMI and RFI) that, when severe enough, can negatively impact sound and video
quality. Each filter bank is electrically isolated from the other filter banks to prevent
noise generated by one component from polluting other connected components.
APC's noise filtering helps enable your system perform to its maximum capabilities.
DC Trigger
This only works with devices that support DC triggering. When the unit is connected
to a device that is acting as a DC trigger, the device controls when the ‘delayed outlet
banks’ are turned on and off. The S10 and S15 can also allow the DC signal to pass
through to another connected device. For more information on how triggering works,
or to determine if your system has this capability, refer to your equipment owner’s
manual.
Rack-mountable
Rack-mount hardware is included to mount the unit into any 4-post, 19" rack. See
below for more information.
ON/OFF Sequencing
This feature ensures connected equipment is powered up and powered down in the
proper sequence, with the right amount of delay between stages. It allows you to
program a delay into a sequence ranging between 0 and 10 seconds. This delay
eliminates transients that can affect connected components, or that may cause the
building circuit breaker to trip.
Caution: When connecting to the DC Trigger jacks, connect the DC
trigger source to the IN jack. The OUT jack should only be
used as a pass-through. The DC Trigger signal can be short
circuited if the input and output cables are reversed. The
maximum input voltage for the DC Trigger is 30VDC. Do
not apply an AC voltage to the DC trigger jacks. Failure to
comply with this Caution may damage your equipment.
