isobar surge suppressor question

[big_block_buick]

hey everybody, i just inherited this thing, and i dont know what it's all about...it has 4 plug ins with the designation of filter bank 1 ,and filter bank 2..(50db) and (75db)

anyone care to give me a low down on this,i'm guessing that means one side will shut down before the other, am i correct?

edit> google search turned up some info,it's about noise..thx anyways

I've got one,What that means is there is
50db of rfi isolation from the line on the
1st bank and 75db for the second bank and
25db between banks,it has nothing to do with
when banks shut down it just refers to filtering.If the lights tell you it's working
properly you have a very high quality unit
there.Is this it?: http://www.tripplite.com/products/surge/surge_description.cfm?family=Isobar&model=ISOBAR%204%20Ultra
