TRANSFORMER BASED FILTER SERIES (TBF™) POWER FILTERS

Considered to be one of the most significant developments in the power protection industry. TBF™
Filters contain innovative technology that combines Surge Suppression and Noise Isolation which
filters the noise on the ground to less than 0.5 Volts (US Patent # 6229682). Exclusive "POVP"
Prolonged Over Voltage Protector (US Patent # 6560086) disconnects the output power if voltage
exceeds 155 volts. Exclusive Smart Technology (US Patent #5721661) protects microprocessor
based equipment against reverse polarity or no ground. The patented TBF™ filters prevent 90% of
the power problems experienced by your POS system, computer, copier and facsimile machine.

LINE CONDITIONERS

Reduces the need for a dedicated line where voltage on ground is present. This transformer
isolation technology is an option to expensive rewiring where poor wiring conditions exist on
older or renovated buildings.

AUTOMATIC VOLTAGE REGULATOR - AVR SERIES
Regulates the voltage to protect equipment against voltage sags and brownouts. Electronic
systems are designed to operate based on a clean and constant supply of AC voltage.
Smart Power Systems' AVR line provides boost & buck capability to eliminate under or over
voltage fluctuations.

UNINTERRUPTIBLE POWER SUPPLIES - UPS SERIES
Smart Power Systems' Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) integrated TBF™ Technology
provide on-line power conditioning.

The GREEN light confirms properly the connected equipment is fully protected. The RED light
indicates over voltage, improper ground connection or reversed power wires which needs to
be corrected. In an over voltage incident, power is disconnected to protect the connected
equipment. IMPORTANT: If the RED Light comes on, contact your electrician to inspect
and correct the outlet wiring in order to receive the maximum protection for your connected
equipment.
