The TrickleStar 4-outlet Advanced PowerTap is an energy-saving surge protector that saves money by reducing standby power waste. Featuring current-sensing circuitry, the Advanced PowerTap senses whether the control device (typically a TV or PC) is either on, off, or in a standby state, and automatically removes and restores supplied power to the switched outlets based on the status of the control device.
Audio Visual (TV Entertainment System) Applications
The TrickleStar Advanced PowerTap saves energy by allowing you to control supplied power to electronics in your entertainment system. Simply plug the TV into the dedicated control outlet and plug peripheral AV electronic equipment (such as a DVD player, AV receiver, speakers) into the green (energy-saving) switched outlets. When you turn off your TV, the?power supplied to switched outlets is removed and AV peripheral electronics automatically power down, saving money by saving energy. The Advanced PowerTap includes 1 always-on outlet for electronic equipment that requires constant power, such as a cable/satellite box or a digital video recorder.
Home Office & Workspace Applications
The TrickleStar Advanced PowerTap is also a great power management solution for home office and commercial workspace applications. For computer workstations, plug the CPU or monitor into the dedicated control outlet and plug peripheral workspace electronic equipment (such as a printer, scanner, task light, etc.) into the green (energy-saving) switched outlets. The dedicated control outlet senses the power status of the computer (on, off, or standby) and automatically switches off supplied power to workspace peripheral electronics when the computer is powered off or goes into sleep mode.
