How fast is the response time to a surge?

I've actually haven't had any surge problems since i've bought this protector honestly. I've read where people have had a long or short delay in the surge, but i've never had any problems since.

I do not have the specs, but it is a Monster product and comes with a substantial warranty for gear. The response time was good enough to save my stuff at my shore house. But keep in mind it is a glorified powerstrip. it might be a really good one but if stats like clamping voltage speed is that important to you then a rack mountable i.e. a much more expensive one is a better bet.

I'm sorry I'm not sure. I know Fellows makes good products. I have never known anyone to get money from these companies should a surge break their computer so I don't worry about it. I really love this unit. I can actually use all the plugs. It's great.

Thanks Brandon. I was going to say that it was here in less than a week, lol. But as far as the quality of the response time, it's plenty fast for me.

I have 12 cameras on my DVR that sends to my PC with a few seconds delay. Were there is a lot of light this camera shows up in color at night. There is street lights that provide extra light on the front of the house .In the back of the house a flood light on a motion detector provides color as well. In our area the response time for the law is 30 to 40 min. So I have wired all doors to an alarm system that will wake up my Nabors and me by sounding a siren with a battery back up . I installed a generator long ago for the times when we lose power. I also recommend the fire arm of choose for when the alarm goes off.

Response time is pretty much instantaneous. No issues under light use for my tablet and phone.

On the "Technology Research Website" they give some specs but the not the most important "clamping voltage" which I found through reading various sites. The joules rating is 510 but a low joules rating is not necessarily an indicator of an inferior product as wikipedia's reasonably good article discusses. Response time is usually very good for MOV types as I think this is since MOV is the least expensive design (wikipedia again:) Thats what I've learned so far. This product also looks more promising than the similarly priced & rated product that doesn't claim protection but only says "Surge Status Indicator" So I haven't decided to buy yet myself but hope the info helps others who are interested. P.S. I just called tech support at 800 780-4324 and was told the clamping voltage on this model is 700 volts. I have read that 400 or less is best on some sites about surge protection. The manuals for their other models show a lower clamping voltage and may be better.

Mine is on as well. I expect Steakman is correct and this just means surge protection is active.

less than 2o min. from discharge,I don't remember the time it took from new?

Less than 10 secs. It take longer for you to get peripheral devices up and running.

While we did no configure it the way you indicated, the full response appears instantaneous so I think you could do it, that is actually a neat way to distribute the signal I think it would probably work without issue or delay.

According to the specs on the Ceptics web site: Premium Protection against Surges Rated to handle up to 149.8 joules.

I have not experienced a surge while using it so far. I think in case of a surge it will cut power off automatically to protect the appliances connected to it. To reset, press the button on the side of one end of the power strip.

We have had power outages and nothing bad happened to electronics plugged in to it. But don't know if we have actually had a surge. We mostly use it as a charging station.

Sorry, I cannot answer. I have not used the device in this manner. I suspect the reaction time may be 20-30 seconds, but only guessing.

the whole subject is confusing, it probably depends on the amount of the surge, this device can handle 3300 Jules, I am not sure what that relates to.according to this >>>http://www.amazon.com/b/ref=amb_link_429706962_1?ie=UTF8&node;=10529927011&pf;_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf;_rd_s=product-alert&pf;_rd_r=19QKWR54MDV4AK3PP4YD&pf;_rd_t=201&pf;_rd_p=2033310062&pf;_rd_i=B0000510R4you are covered but not 100%.I think you should call the manufacturer, but you will prob get fuzzy answers.Bottom line, its better than nothing at all

The device either absorbs the surge and/or passes it to ground. Manufacturers don't provide this information with their product, but I would expect the whole-house variety to do both. To the extent that they pass it to ground they might need to take less of a self-sacrificing hit. If you want more technical information, I would suggest WikiPedia.com. But the technical details are unlikely to be useful in choosing among products.

It depends. On my laptops both running windows 7 it takes around a second or so. There are times where it takes about three seconds, but that is the longest it takes normally and that only happens occasionally. Switching to a Linux machine seems to be a little faster. The switch happens right away it just takes that second for the machine to recognize the input devices.A good baseline is somewhere around one second.
