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.

!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.Caution: When connecting to the DC Trigger jacks, connect the DC

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.
