APC A/V J-Type Power Conditioner and Battery Backup
i
General Information
Overview
The APC by Schneider Electric J Type Power Conditioner protects audio-video systems from power spikes
and surges. The J Type has noise filter banks, which reduce electromagnetic interference to ensure the best
picture and sound quality. The unit also provides clean and safe power to connected equipment in the event
of a power outage.
Inventory
Safety
Electrical Hazard: For indoor use only.
• Risk of electric shock. Do not plug into another relocatable power tap.
• Overloading. Do not overload the wall outlet where this device is being connected. Do not overload
this device. Ensure the total load to this device does not exceed that which is listed in the Specifications
section of this manual.
• Power. Ensure this device is connected to a properly grounded utility power source. Further ensure the
device is plugged into a source providing the required 120 Vac. Do not use a plug adapter that defeats the
ground pin on the utility power plug.
• Placement. Do not install this device on any unsteady surface. Do not install this device on any heat
source.
• Water and Moisture. Do not use this product near any source of water, or in an environment where the
relative humidity may exceed 95% (non-condensing)
• Polarization. This device has a polarized utility line plug having one grounding pin. This plug will only
fit into the wall outlet in one orientation. This is a safety feature. Do not remove the round grounding pin.
• System Ground Terminal. The unit provides for the connection of grounding wires from all of your
equipment to a central terminal lug. This ground connection eliminates ground loop problems; tie all
component grounds to this screw to break any possible ground loops that can cause an audible noise.
• Servicing. There are no user-serviceable components within this device. Removal of the rear cover of
this device may present a shock hazard, and/or void the warranty.
• Damage Requiring Service. If any type of damage occurs to this device, immediately disconnect it
from the wall outlet. Notify APC Technical Support or Customer Service at once.

Connect Input Power
Note: If the unit is connected to input power and is OFF, it will still provide protection from
power surges and spikes.
Use the input power cord to connect the unit to input power. If the unit is functioning properly, the
display will illuminate. Connect the other end to a grounded, 120 Vac receptacle.
Connect Equipment
Battery Backup outlets
Connect equipment to the outlets on the rear panel of the unit.
• Battery backup outlets—connect equipment that requires power during a power outage to these
outlets, such as a computer or DVR.
• Surge Protection only outlets—connect noncritical equipment to these outlets, as these outlets will
not have power during a power outage. The outlets continue to provide surge protection, even if
the unit if OFF.
Note: The number of components plugged into the battery backup outlets will determine the
battery run time. The more components that draw power from the battery backup outlets during
a power outage, the less battery backup time the unit will be able to provide.
3A/V J Type Power Conditioner and Battery Backup
Power-Saving Master and Controlled outlets (J35 models only)
When the power-saving feature is enabled, the J35B reduces power consumption by automatically
disconnecting utility power to devices that are not in use.
When the device connected to the Master outlet goes into sleep or standby mode, the J35B will
disconnect power to components connected to the Controlled by Master outlets, conserving energy.
For example, if a desktop computer is connected to the Master outlet, when the computer goes into sleep
mode, the J35B will disconnect power to peripheral devices such as a monitor, printer, and speakers that
are connected to the Controlled by Master outlets.
Before connecting components to the unit, determine which components will utilize the Master and
Controlled by Master outlets.
• Connect a master device such as a TV to the Master outlet.
• Connect peripheral devices such as amplifiers, DVD players, or sub-woofers to the Controlled by
Master outlets.
The Controlled by Master outlets can be enabled in three ways. This provides multiple outlet
configuration options.
On A configuration enables all of the Controlled by
the Master outlets.
On B configuration enables the Battery Backup outlets
to be controlled by the Master outlet.
On S configuration enables the Surge Only outlets to
be controlled by the Master outlet.
