Conditioned. Protected. Uninterrupted.

Built to Handle Multiple Types of Power Disturbances

Complete Power Conditioning = Surge Protection + Filtering + Voltage Regulation. Many competitive brands like to

call their surge protectors “power conditioners”. Surge protectors and even voltage regulators do not offer

complete power conditioning. A surge protector does not address the most common power disturbance: voltage

fluctuations (a.k.a. brownouts and over-voltages). Conversely, a voltage regulator typically does not offer

much in the way of surge protection or noise filtering. APC AV’s S10 and S15 offer complete power conditioning.

A Reliable and Pure Power Foundation = Power Conditioning with Battery Backup. Anything less puts your home

AV experience and investment at risk. APC AV’s S10 and S15 Power Conditioner with Battery Backup offer an

all-in-one solution that eliminates all power threats to your high-performance entertainment system. By elimi-

nating surges, spikes, brownouts, over-voltages, EMI/RFI interference, and blackouts, APC offers the secure

power foundation that protects your investment and enables your system to perform to its peak capabilities.

Isolated EMI/RFI Noise Filter Banks

Maximize Sound and Video Quality

Allows Your System to Perform to Its Maximum Capabilities

APC AV’s S Type Power Conditioner with Battery Backup virtually

eliminates any electromagnetic and radio frequency interference that

may exist on the AC power circuit. There is a specific filter circuit for

Digital, Analog, Video, and High Current components. Both the input and

output AC are filtered.

Each filter bank is physically and

electrically isolated to prevent

noise generated by the components

themselves from polluting other

connected components. Unlike many

competitive brands, our High Current

filter allows for protection of high-

powered amplifiers and sub-woofers

without compromising their ability to draw high currents during periods of

peak sound output. Plugging the amplifier into a separate and unprotected

wall outlet is not necessary with APC AV. In buildings where electrical

noise is negatively impacting sound and video quality, APC AV can make

a noticeable improvement in performance.

Voltage Regulation Can

Improve Sound and Video

Prevents the Most Common Power

Disturbance from Impacting Video Quality

and Stressing Component Power Supplies

APC’s Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR)

corrects brownouts (low AC voltage) and

over-voltages to keep the RMS voltage

within proper operating ranges for your

components’ power supplies. This helps your

system perform to its maximum capability.

Ideal for those who live in chronic brownout

conditions, APC AV’s units can operate

indefinitely in AVR mode without overheat-

ing or causing undue stress to the unit.

With APC’s Automatic Voltage Regulation,

your high-performance system will no

longer be a slave to fluctuating voltages.

THE LOWER THE LET-THROUGH,

THE BETTER

APC engineering subjects its designs to

6,000V spikes of varying current levels to

simulate worst case, real world scenarios

that could be found at a building duplex

outlet. We then measure how much of the

spike gets through to the outlet and to any

connected equipment. This measurement

is referred to as the Let-Through Voltage

Rating by the Institute of Electronics and

Electrical Engineers (IEEE). According to

UL’s 1449 standard, a Let-Through rating

of “<330V” is considered good. APC AV’s

S Type Power Conditioner with Battery

Backup has a Let-Through Voltage rating

of “<40V”. Simply put, the lower the number,

the better the performance.

According to the IEEE, Let-Through Voltage

Rating is the best indicator of surge pro-

tection performance. What matters in the

end is how much of a surge or spike actu-

ally reaches your valuable equipment. Let-

Through is a direct measurement of this.

Other companies promote Joule ratings as

an indicator of surge performance. A Joule

rating only communicates how much ener-

gy is required to break down the surge

protector, but has absolutely nothing to do

with how effective the protector is in pre-

venting surges and spikes from reaching

your equipment. With APC, protection is

guaranteed for life.

12 Surge-Protected Outlets

Protect Your Components

Proactively Protects Your Investment

and Eliminates Potential Insurance

Claim Hassles

Twelve surge-protected outlets provide

guaranteed protection against surges,

spikes, and even lightning. Tested to

the toughest standards of UL1449 and

IEEE, APC AV offers very low Let-

Through Voltage ratings, ensuring the

best level of protection.

Surges and spikes come in many

different forms (different amplitudes,

different durations). Unlike other surge

protectors and power conditioners,

APC AV employs a multi-stage strategy

that is more than capable of reducing

any surge or spike to harmless levels,

regardless of amplitude or duration.

Filters EMI/RFI noise to

help ensure best sound and

video quality.
