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.
