Product Description

Proudly endorsed by PLANET ARK

Attach main appliance (computer, TV screen) to the "master socket". When power to the appliance connected to this socket is turned off/on manually or by remote - the other four "slave" sockets are then turned off/on automatically.
A sophisticated sensor circuit detects the level of current passing through the main master outlet and switches the slave outlets to the same status. This reduces the consumption of standby power used by computer peripherals and other equipment when not in use. This will save you money. One additional power socket will operate continuously and independently.
Features:
* Surge and overload protection - Protect your valuable equipment
* 6 x 240VAC Power Sockets - Power 6 devices
* Spaced Socket - Fits transformer or charger
* Circuit Breaker - Prevents overloading
* Screw Slot Mounting - easy & convenient installation
* Right Angle Plus - Fits neatly behind furntiture
* 1 m Power Cord - Convenient length
* Slimline design - Space saving
SAVE UP TO $130 every Year
Typical Example: Average satndby power used at 85 watts x 140 hrs per week x average cost of power calculated over a calendar year. This example is based on a high performance domestic audio visual system including a plasma screen functioning for a 4 hour period each day. The level of standby poer saved in this example is 619kWh which is equivalent to 588kgs of CO2 greenhouse gas emmission. Feb 08
Please note that we have experienced problems with large Plasma televisions connected to the "MASTER" socket of this product. We have discovered that some of the newer Plasma televisions draw well over 30 watts in standby, causing the powerboard to be unable to detect that the Plasma has been switched off - and therefore not switching the "SLAVE" outlets off. (The PT9778 Energy Saving Powerboard detects power usage under 30 watts to be "off"). Of course if you don't have a large Plasma TV, don't buy one, they use enormous power when operating as well. If you experience this problem, please try connecting your Plasma television into one of the "SLAVE" outlets, and a connect a different device such as a DVD player into the master outlet. This solution will solve the problem.

 

WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT LASER PRINTERS TO THE SLAVE OR MASTER SOCKET OF THIS POWERBOARD. Doing so may damage both the printer and the powerboard. However, it is fine to connect a laser printer to the NORMAL outlet of the powerboard. If you insist on turning off a laser printer while not in use, please use the switch that is built into the unit (please note that we do not recommend this) Why they design this way is confusing.
