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
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.
