Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of APC’s Model S Type Power Conditioner with
Battery Backup (Model S15 shown in Figure 1). Your unit will protect your high
performance audio and video (AV) system from damaging power surges, spikes and
lightning, as well as power outages. Protection is guaranteed. Isolated noise filter
banks and Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) will eliminate power as a source of
audio and video signal degradation. Pure sine wave battery backup power will
prevent interruptions, lost pre-sets, missed DVR recordings and lost media server
data when the power goes out. Data-line surge protection jacks will stop surges
traveling over phone or data lines.
Digital Satellite System, Cable Modem, and CATV Coaxial Cable lines are equally
protected. With APC’s S Type, your entire home entertainment experience is
bullet-proofed from damage or interruption as a result of bad power. With APC’s
Power Conditioner with Battery Backup, you can enjoy your home theater
experience with the peace of mind that performance is optimized and protection
is guaranteed.
