Advanced solutions for
today’s advanced systems.
Home installations have become much more sophisticated and diverse from what they were years
ago. Today’s clients often expect much more than just a traditional home theater room or simple
distributed audio system. Being able to access audiovisual (AV) systems and Internet content
anywhere in the house through a single, easy‑to‑use interface is often required. AV and computers
are converging so much that custom installers must now be masters of networking and computing
technologies inorder to be successful. This convergence between computers, entertainment,
andnetworking is real.
AV solutions with an IT pedigree
With AV power solutions behaving more like IT network solutions, it makes sense to turn to a solution
provider with a strong track record in network protection and management. No one brings a stronger
combination of AV and IT experience to home theater installations than APC

High-performance systems
begin (and end) with power.
High‑end AV systems depend on reliable, available power just as any computer system or network
does. Poorpower can have a noticeable impact on sound and video quality. Component power
supplies and electrical circuits can be stressed or even destroyed outright. Power outages can result
in the loss of system presets and missed DVR recordings.
And thegrowing presence of hard drives and network connectivity makes AVsystems even more
susceptible to damage or compromised performanceas the result of power disturbances.
Several types of power anomalies can negatively aect your AV experience

toasa “surge”)

Legendary ReliabilityTM
from the world leader
in power protection.
APC AV offers a comprehensive range of power protection solutions,
allowinginstallers tocustomizetheir solutions for every home.
Surge protection
Surge‑protected outlets proactively protect components and eliminate
potential insurance claim hassles. They provide guaranteed protection
against surges, spikes, and even lightning. Tested to the toughest
standards of UL 1449 and IEEE, APC AV offers very low let‑through voltage
ratings, ensuring the best level of protection. (All APC products except
model INWALLKIT)
Isolated noise filtering
Isolated EMI/RFI noise filter banks maximize sound and video quality, and
allow your system to perform to its best capabilities. All APC AV solutions
virtually eliminate EMI/RFI on the AC power circuit. (All APC AV products)
Voltage regulation
Voltage regulation prevents the most common power disturbances
fromimpacting audio and video quality and stressing component power
supplies. APC AV’s automatic voltage regulation (AVR) corrects sags
(lowAC voltage) and swells (high AV voltage) to keep the RMS voltage
withinproper operating ranges for component power supplies. This helps
systems perform at maximum capability and efficiency. (H Type and SType)
Pure sine wave battery backup
In the event of a power outage, an extremely deep power sag, or overvoltage,
pure sine wave power from internal batteries will keep an entire system up
and running without any interruption or loss of presets, DVR recordings,
ormedia server data. APC AV solutions feature an inverter that outputs
apure sine wave when on battery, ensuring the purest power possible
forall your components. (S Type only)
Network management
andenvironmental monitoring
Remote control capabilities via an internal
web server help eliminate costly and
time‑consuming service calls. Installersand
users can use the Internet to remotely reboot
hung equipment, adjust various unit parameters,
initiate self‑tests, and monitor changing unit
and power conditions. Further, an RS232 port
enables installers to integrate the unit into their
preferred home automation network with full
access to all of its management capabilities.
Abuilt‑in environmental monitoring port allows
for both temperature and humidity monitoring
andreporting. For example, the automation
control unit can be programmed to respond to
an alarm caused by an overheated rack by safely
shutting down the equipment until the problem is
addressed. (S20BLK only)
Approved by Underwriters Laboratories
Unlike some other vendors’ AV power solutions,
all APC products are listed to the relevant
safety agency requirements. This helps ensure
products function safely and reliably. The
National Electrical Code
electronics are listed to the relevant standards by
a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory such
as UL, CSA, or TÜV. Beware of products that
simply claim to “meet” or are “tested to” these
safety standards. Products should be “listed.”
