Protect Your Investment, Protect Your World
The J-Type Power Conditioner with Battery Backup offers the best value in home theater system protection. That's because it has a UPS (Uninterruptable Power Supply), which is the key to power security because you get seamless power in the event of an outage. That way, you'll keep all components safe from damaging surges, spikes and even lightning. Noise filter banks reduce electromagnetic and radio frequency interference that can harm picture and sound quality. Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) keeps voltage levels steady to ensure safe operation during low and high voltage conditions. Battery backup power keeps the home theater on, protects expensive TV bulbs and saves recordings stored on a DVR when the power goes out — since home electronics cost a lot of money, it's smart to protect that investment.
What Systems Are At Risk?
One blip in your power can cause very costly situation. If there is a surge or even momentary outage, you could lose practically your entire home theater set-up. Your onscreen TV Guide can disappear, your DVR hard drive can be lost, and because the fan stops running to cool them, front projection bulbs can overheat and blow out. This applies to rear-projection lamps as well, such as DLP, LCD and LED projectors. Plus, all that invaluable programming the installer did will get wiped out, and send you back to the factory presets, requiring another install. Besides, not only is home theater at risk, but so are music systems and computer hard drives.
Automatic Power Regulation Is The Answer
Thankfully, the APC UPS power conditioner stays on long enough to cover such outages, giving you time to shut everything down properly. The transformer in the unit automatically regulates power, allowing the J-type to correct brownouts and over voltages between 90-144 volts to within 5% of 120 volts. If the power goes outside this range the battery back-up will kick in to keep your system safely up and running.
The Problem With Power
We live in the Information Age where countless data is created, transmitted, and stored. Numerous electric-powered machines aid in business and household tasks, as well as entertain and inform us. The reality of living in this time of technological innovation is that the power to run these machines can't keep up (at least not yet). In many locations around the world, electricity generation, transmission and distribution have not evolved at the same pace as computer and communications equipment. What was built years ago for powering factories producing manufactured goods is struggling to adapt to provide continuous, sufficient-grade power to sensitive electronics processing valuable information.
What's A Power Event?
Sags, surges, noise, spikes, blackouts. . . what really happens to connected devices when they experience a power anomaly? A lightning strike is a frequent example, although it is just one of countless problems that can strike your equipment. Imagine lightning has just struck a nearby transformer. If the surge was powerful enough, it traveled instantaneously through wiring (AC, network, serial, phone lines and more) with the electrical equivalent force of a tidal wave. For PC users, the surge could have traveled into your computer via the AC outlet or phone lines. The first casualty is usually a modem or motherboard. Chips go next, and data is lost. Thankfully, you can prevent all that with one device.
