New PowerManager provides centralized power management and surge protection for complete control of up to 5 peripherals (6 total outlets). PowerManager is designed for multimedia applications and desktop systems including computers, CD ROM drives, mon-itors, printers, fax machines, modems and more. Besides controlling power to as many as five computer peripherals, the benefits of the PowerManager include:

A convenience outlet located on the right side panel provides easy desktop access to power. Laptop users benefit from the ⌠always on÷ outlet which keeps your battery charged even while the main system is not in use. This outlet is also convenient for plugging in desktop lamps, calculators, speakers, and more.

Power cord clutter is eliminated by internally storing cords neatly and safely out of your way.

For ease of identification, you can customize PowerManager╞s switch buttons to show specific or personalized system equipment names.

In order to work properly, surge suppressors require a correctly wired and grounded outlet. SurgeArrest identifies dangerous wiring problems before you plug in your equipment. Plus, SurgeArrest will warn you if its circuitry has been damaged and is unable to provide 100% protection. APC will then replace your damaged SurgeArrest under its lifetime warranty.

IEEE tests simulate severe surge events common to the home and office environment. SurgeArrest provides the lowest let-through voltages for maximum protection. Moreover, SurgeArrest╞s 330V rating is UL╞s best available rating against devastating surges and spikes. SurgeArrest has received UL╞s 330V rating across all three lines.

SurgeArrest attenuates EMI/RFI line noise that can cause data errors and keyboard lockups.

SurgeArrest is equipped with a fast acting fuse that reacts quickly to lightning strikes and other catastrophic surge events. In addition, a thermal fuse shuts your system down in the event of a dangerous wiring fault. In both cases, SurgeArrest actually blocks errant power from reaching your equipment if the surge components are damaged.
NOTE: Unlike SurgeArrest, most surge suppressors continue to let power through even after circuits have been damaged, leaving your equipment exposed to other damaging surges!

For added peace of mind, APC will repair or replace equipment damaged by a surge or lightning strike, up to $25,000! See policy for details. Dollar amounts vary by product family.

SurgeArrest has an advanced multi-stage design that combines the individual strengths of several components to provide the best protection. When subjected to the stringent UL 1449 test for surge suppressors, SurgeArrest exceeds the best possible rating of 330V.

• Fast-Acting Fuse reacts to lightning strikes and other catastrophic surge events.
• Thermal Fuse reacts to sustained overvoltages.
• Capacitors filter EMI/RFI noise and absorb frequent low to medium energy surges.
• Metal Oxide Varistors (MOVs) provide full common mode and normal mode protection form high energy spikes.
• Massive Rod Core Inductors provide superior noise (EMI/RFI) filtering.
• Modem/Fax protection meets the UL 497A telecommunications standard. Available on PER7T, PER3T, PRO7T, NET3T and NET7T models.

SurgeArrest incorporates filters that track the sine wave and provide instantaneous response to surges. Oscilloscope photos (below) show the amount of voltage that passes through two different surge protectors to your equipment when subjected to a 6000 Volt test spike. Notice how Network SurgeArrest has the better suppression and clearly outperforms the same class competitor. Whether you choose standard SurgeArrest, the slimline PowerManager, or new ProtectNet, APC delivers the best protection per dollar.

• Personal: for small office and home applications. (Six models to choose from!)
• Professional: for small business applications. (Three models to choose from!)
• Network: for network and business applications. (Four models to choose from!)

Backdoor unprotected?
Choose new ProtectNet for data, network and serial lines

Bulletproof your system from damaging surges! A protection plan incorporating data line and AC line surge suppression will ⌠bullet-proof÷ your system against the hazards of surges caused by lightning faults and electro-static discharge.

For these reasons, choose ProtectNet, with the new ⌠Double-Up!÷ warranty. APC will double the Equipment Protection Policy to $50,000 for those installations made ⌠bulletproof÷ by APC UPS and ProtectNet products. (See policy.) A lifetime product warranty means ProtectNet will be the last dataline surge protector you will ever have to buy!

1. Use an APC UPS or surge suppressor product to protect all AC operated system equipment.
2. Verify that your outlets are properly wired. All 120 Vac APC UPSs and surge suppressor products offer a Site Wiring Fault indicator that warns of improper building wiring, including lack of a ground.
3. Plug all power protection and/or system equipment line cords in at the same service branch. This means that power to all equipment is controlled by the same building fuse or circuit breaker.
4. Serial RS-232 interface ports on computers, terminals, printers, plotters and modems are especially sensitive to damage from electrical transients because they use the computer chassis ground as a signal common. Protect both ends of an RS-232 serial cable longer than 5 feet (1.5 m). Do not run RS-232 links between equipment in separate buildings - use short haul modems instead.
5. Use an APC ProtectNet model P10BT or P10B2 to protect your Ethernet Network Interface Cards and other LAN equipment at each end of your networks 10Base-T UTP, or coaxial Thinnet cable. Thinnet (10Base-2) networks are especially susceptible to intersystem ground noise when the cable shields are inadvertently grounded at more than one location. Verify your system╞s true single ground point and check to be sure that ⌠T÷ connectors or and connector barrels are not touching the chassis of your computer.
6. Use an APC ProtectNet model PTR to protect your 4 and 16 Mbps Token Ring Network Interface Cards at each end of your networks UTP cable.
7. Protect the telephone port of your modem, fax, telex, answering machine, etc. from damage due to nearby lightning activity.
8. Protect the RF video input of your TV or your ⌠TV board÷ with an APC SurgeArrest with CATV surge suppression.
