MPC305 total freeze

We have a customer that I'm about 99% certain has a pop vending machine and their MP 6503 on the same circuit. The power conditioner on that one gets a workout. It's a school so I doubt they will listen to us, but power surge damage is explicitly not covered by contract.

the surges by ESP guarantee to keep the unit from damage or they will: 1) replace the unit or repair the unit.

in 20 years using their product I have seen only 1 ( ONE ) machine damaged... and the took a lightening strike on the outside of the wall where the copier was placed.

here's their site:

Proves nothing. A multimeter is far to slow to respond for observing spikes, surges and sags.

True, but as the saying goes here in my country, "When you don't own a dog, you take the cat to go hunting" - make do with what you have...
