SUPPLYING POWER Line Conditioning - The RP-6, like any piece of computer hardware,
is sensitive to voltage drops, spikes, and surges. Interference such as
lightning or power “brownouts” can seriously, and in extreme cases,
permanently damage the circuitry inside the unit. Here are some ways
to avoid this type of damage:
• Spike/Surge Suppressors - This is an inexpensive solution to all
but the most severe of AC line conditions. Surge protected
power strips usually cost only slightly more than unprotected
strips, making them a worthy investment for protection of all your
valuable gear.
• AC Line Conditioners - This is the best way to go for total pro-
tection from improper line voltages, albeit the more expensive
way. Line conditioners constantly monitor for excessively high or
low voltages and adjust accordingly, thus delivering consistent
power levels.
