THE CASE FOR VOLTAGE REGULATORS

When You Already Have UPS or Stand-By Power  

There are 3 Very Important Reasons why you should consider adding
a Kleen Line Voltage Regulator to your Computer & UPS system.

The Reasons:

• OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE

• EQUIPMENT LIFE

  • ECONOMICS

OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE

Most UPS systems operate your high tech equipment and computer directly off the dirty, commercial street electrical system except during periods of lost power or Brown-outs.

Unfortunately, most UPS systems have limited Spike Suppression and virtually no interference filtering, so your expensive, sensitive computer or high tech system gets clobbered with dirty power line thrash & pollution every day.

Besides that - most UPS systems provide only about 10 minutes run time on internal batteries - with no provision to add external batteries

During Brown outs, your UPS may continuously switch between street and UPS power, discharging batteries to a point where the next Brown-out causes a computer crash

Kleen*Line Regulators provide recommended equipment operating voltage to keep equipment working properly during the most SEVERE brown outs

UPS batteries are Preserved

Productive operating time is increased

Down time is virtually eliminated

PLUS, Our Regulators continuously protect your complete system, including UPS, from destructive street power line interference and thrash with heavy duty, industrial grade Spike Suppression and wide band interference filtering

EQUIPMENT LIFE

Engineering studies show that each spike entering your system shortens equipment life and degrades performance. OUCH !!

Because the UPS normally runs your high tech or computer system directly off dirty street power, installing a Kleen*Line Regulator cleans up this electrical pollution, removing damaging and life-sucking electrical thrash

As mentioned, brown outs often cause the UPS to kick in, draining batteries. Sometimes brown outs cause switching between UPS operation and normal operation every few minutes - discharging and damaging batteries and possibly damaging the UPS

Eventually batteries are so run-down, the next Brown-out causes a system crash

Kleen*Line Voltage Regulator-Conditioners supply normal equipment operating voltage deep into the Brown-Out Zone, preventing this cumulative performance degradation, shortened equipment life and costly down time

We all know computing equipment receives horrific jolts when electrical Power is restored after an outage. Tough, rugged construction allows the Kleen*Line Regulator to soak up these punishing jolts, protecting your high tech system & UPS

Outages occur year round - Be Ready for the Next One - Protect your system now ! !

ECONOMICS

• Less equipment maintenance, longer operational life and reduced down time
  will Save You Money year in and year out

DOWN TIME IS EXPENSIVE !

Cost Estimates for an hour down time range from $100's to $1,000's !

You recover Kleen Line Regulator cost by avoiding just one hour of downtime

After that, Down Time $ $ Savings are pure $ $ profit !

Prevent costly Down Time & Equipment Damage
