PATENTED MONSTER T2
TECHNOLOGY
The Monster HDP1800 features exclusive Monster T2
technology. T2 is an active electronic microprocessor-controlled
circuit that sits in front of the surge protection circuitry in select Monster Power products. T2 monitors the line, neutral
and ground lines and automatically disconnects the PowerCenter from the AC power line when a long duration
low-voltage sag or high-voltage swell occurs (continuous voltage below 80Vrms or above 132Vrms).
When the voltage sags or swells to these potentially damaging levels, ultra-fast T2 auto-disconnect protection circuitry
shuts down the Monster PowerCenter for 15 seconds. When the under-voltage or over-voltage condition returns to normal,
T2 reconnects the PowerCenter to the electricity and resets to full operation after 15 seconds. If the power fault condition
does not clear, the T2 comparator circuit keeps the unit shut down.
Unlike ordinary power management devices, T2 will shut down your PowerCenter before the MOVs (Metal Oxide Varistors)
and thermal fuses sense an overload condition and sacrifice themselves to protect your connected components.
This will extend the PowerCenter’s life, while providing the system protection you need.
