APC S10-UPS Power Conditioner With Battery Backup

This APC S10 Power Conditioner with back-up battery has a 700 W/1000 VA capacity that assures you have the power and protection you need.

Bulletproof Your Home Electronics World

Home electronics cost a lot of money, so it’s smart to protect your investment with an Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS). The American Power Conversion (APC) 700 W/1000 VA capacity S10 Power Conditioner with Battery Backup protects your high performance, high value audio and video (A/V) system from damaging power surges, spikes, and lightning, as well as power outages. Pure sine wave battery backup power prevents interruptions, lost presets, missed DVR recordings, and lost media server data when the power goes out. Dataline surge protection jacks stop surges traveling over phone or data lines. Digital satellite systems, cable modems, and CATV coaxial cable lines are equally protected. With APC’s S10, your entire home entertainment experience is bulletproofed from damage or interruption as a result of bad power. APC’s S10 lets you enjoy your home theater experience with the peace of mind that performance is optimized and protection is guaranteed.

One blip in your power can be ruinous. If there’s a surge or even momentary outage, you can lose practically your entire home theater set-up. Not only is your home theater at risk, but so are music systems and computer hard drives.

Automatic Power Regulation Is The Answer

Thankfully, an APC UPS gives you enough time to shut everything down properly when there’s a power problem. If the power goes outside this range, the battery backup kicks in to keep your system safely up and running.

The Problem With Power

Numerous electric-powered machines aid in business and household tasks, as well as entertain and inform us. What was built years ago for powering factories producing manufactured goods is struggling to provide continuous, adequate power to sensitive electronics processing valuable information.

What Is A Power Event?

Sags, surges, noise, spikes, blackouts . . . . For computer users, the surge gets in through the AC outlet or phone lines. The APC S10 features a 700 W/1000VA output capacity with battery backup and adjustable voltage sensitivity. Additional features include pure sine wave backup battery output, sequential turn on/off, isolated filter banks, and dataline surge protection. If the unit is also protecting a home computer, the software will automatically save files and gracefully shutdown the operating system if the S10 is about to shutdown due to a low battery condition.
