TrickleStar TS1104 Advanced PowerStrip User Manual

1. Въведение и надview

The TrickleStar TS1104 Advanced PowerStrip is an energy-saving surge protector designed to reduce standby power waste and protect your electronic devices. It features intelligent current-sensing circuitry that automatically manages power to peripheral devices based on the status of a control device, such as a TV or computer.

This power strip helps save energy and money by eliminating phantom load, which is the power consumed by electronics when they are turned off but still plugged in. By automatically cutting power to idle peripherals, the TS1104 ensures efficient energy use in both home entertainment and office environments.

3. Инструкции за настройка

Follow these steps to set up your TrickleStar TS1104 Advanced PowerStrip:

1. Разположение: Position the power strip near your electronic devices, ensuring the 12 ft power cord can reach a grounded wall outlet.
2. Plug in Control Device: Connect your primary device (e.g., TV, computer, AV receiver) into the designated "Control" outlet. This device will dictate the power status of the "Switched" outlets.
3. Plug in Switched Devices: Connect peripheral devices (e.g., DVD player, game console, printer, scanner, speakers) into the "Switched" outlets. These outlets will receive power only when the control device is active.
4. Plug in Always On Devices: For devices that require continuous power (e.g., cable box, modem, router, DVR), use the "Always On" outlets. These outlets provide constant power regardless of the control device's status.
5. Adjust Switching Threshold: On the side of the power strip, locate the selectable switching threshold switch. Adjust this setting (Low, Medium, High) based on the standby power consumption of your control device.
   • Ниска: For control devices with very low standby power consumption.
   • Среден: For control devices with moderate standby power consumption.
   • високо: For control devices with higher standby power consumption (often recommended for TVs).

   Note: If switched devices turn off unexpectedly or do not turn on reliably, adjust the threshold setting. Experimentation may be required to find the optimal setting for your specific control device.
6. Включете в контакта: Finally, plug the TrickleStar power strip's cord into a properly grounded 120VAC wall outlet.

4. Инструкции за работа

Once set up, the TrickleStar TS1104 operates automatically:

• Включване: When you turn on the device plugged into the "Control" outlet, the power strip senses the increase in power consumption. After a brief delay (typically a few seconds), power will be supplied to the "Switched" outlets, activating all connected peripheral devices.
• Powering Off/Standby: When you turn off or put the control device into standby mode, its power consumption drops below the set threshold. The power strip will then automatically cut power to the "Switched" outlets, effectively turning off all connected peripherals and eliminating standby power draw.
• LED индикатори:
  • Светодиод за пренапрежение: Illuminates when surge protection is active. If this light is off, the surge protection has been compromised, and the unit should be replaced.
  • Заземен светодиод: Illuminates when the power strip is properly grounded. If this light is off, there may be a grounding issue with your wall outlet.
  • Switched Outlets LED: Illuminates when power is supplied to the "Switched" outlets.

5. Поддръжка

The TrickleStar TS1104 is designed for minimal maintenance. However, consider the following:

• Почистване: Disconnect the power strip from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use liquid cleaners or immerse the unit in water.
• Статус на защита от пренапрежение: Regularly check the "Surge" LED indicator. If this light is off, it means the surge protection components (MOVs) have absorbed a significant surge and are no longer providing protection. In this event, the power strip should be replaced to ensure continued protection for your devices.
• Прекъсвач: The power strip includes a resettable circuit breaker. If the power strip experiences an overload, the breaker may trip, cutting power to all outlets. To reset, unplug some devices, then press the circuit breaker button (usually located on the side or end of the unit) back in.
