Autoswitching Surge Protector
The Smart Strip® has specified outlets for your electronics and their peripherals. The main electronic will go into the CONTROL outlet, and the peripherals will go into the SWITCHED outlets. When you turn your computer or television off (or whatever is in the CONTROL outlet) power will immediately be cut to the SWITCHED outlets. This saves electricity, and money. Anything that you want to stay on when the TV or computer goes off can go in the ALWAYS ON outlets-ie: phones, fax machines, DVR etc.
Benefits
- Average payback of just 3 months
- No more bending over to turn off your power strip
- No more turning off multiple switches
- Peripherals without power switches are no longer a problem
- Uses no power when the switched outlets are off
- Uses less than 1 watt when fully energized
- 1225 Joules of surge protection
- 45-degree-angled space-saver plug
When I turn my control electronic back on, does everything else turn back on too? Whatever is in the SWITCHED outlets will return to the state it was when its power was cut when you turn what is in the CONTROL outlet back on.
How it Works
Seven or ten outlets work together, autoswitching your devices on and off to save you money on your electric bills. 1225 joules of surge protection keep your equipment safe from even the harshest power spikes. Conveniently-spaced outlets and a 45-degree, angled space saver plug make this surge protector a friendly addition to your electronic systems.
Smart Strips are standard power strips with surge protection which go above and beyond protecting your electronics- by also cutting standby energy. Standby energy, also known as vampire power, is the electricity used when your electronics are in "sleep" or "off" mode. Some electronics don't have a specific standby setting, but continue to draw power when in "off" mode. A good indicator of this is if they have a clock display, or a status light that stays on at all times.
Smart Strips are designed for areas in your home or office that have multiple peripheral electronics plugged in where a main electronic device is used, such as: home entertainment systems, computer or home office areas, stereo systems, etc. When plugged into a Smart Strip you can turn off your main electronic device and automatically cut the power to your peripheral outlets on the strip without having to do anything extra- saving you time, money, and energy.
By plugging the appropriate devices into the designated outlets on the Smart Strip, you can significantly reduce the wasted energy those items would typically use if plugged into a regular power strip - even if you had turned the items off.
- Includes a $100,000 equipment protection plan
- Each unit can save you up to $100 or more each year
- No software
- Adjustable settings
- Ultra Safe Passive Current Sensor
- Patent-Pending Protective Hysteresis Circuit
- Uses ZERO POWER When The Switched Outlets Are Off
- Uses Less Than 1 Watt When Fully Energized
- The strip makes shut down fast, easy & complete
- Turn on/off your computer or TV and your peripherals turn on/off automatically
- Payback in a matter of weeks based on energy savings. One study demonstrates payback in as little as 6 weeks, with an average of just three months (depends on peripherals and electricity rate).
It's As Easy As 1-2-3:
- Plug computer or television into blue CONTROL outlet.
- Plug peripherals into white SWITCHED outlets to maximize energy savings.
- Plug other electronics into red CONSTANT outlets.
This is the newest smart strip on the market, and it beats the competition hands down. This unique surge protector takes autoswitching to a new level in ease of use and energy-efficiency. This simple to use device is completely plug and play. Just take it out of the box, plug all of your devices into the color coded outlets, and immediately start saving money by eliminating wasteful standby energy.
What sets this device apart?
- This device meets EO 13221
This Executive Order (EO) recommends that all new electronics use "no more than one watt in their standby power consuming mode." - No software to install
Just turn the dial on this unit to adjust sensitivity levels. Other smart strip devices may require you install and configure software to adjust thresholds. - No extra cords!
