Unit Power Capacity

The S10 Power Conditioner is rated for 700 watts (continuous), and the S15 is rated

for 900 watts (continuous). They have been designed, however, 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 their nameplate

power ratings, high performance AV equipment draw much less than their listed

power ratings. The S10 and S15 can inform the user how much of the power capacity

is available as equipment is connected to the unit.

Features

The following are major features of the Model S10 and S15.

Both models 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 entertainment, it also helps

prevent lost pre-sets, lost multi-media server data, damaged hard drives, and

premature projector bulb wear and tear.

The S10 and S15 are unique in that they provide AVR, which is engaged to correct

low and high voltage conditions. In doing so, all equipment connected to the S10 or

S15 are protected against these undesired voltage ﬂuctuations, thus prolonging the

life of the equipment. Low voltage conditions can also negatively impact video

quality. AVR, therefore, may help improve picture quality if low voltage conditions

are present.

The S10 and S15 provide guaranteed protection against damaging surges, spikes and

even lightning. The S-Type not only provides 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 (varies by model, see

Speciﬁcations table). With APC your entire investment in component hardware is

protected.
