INTRODUCTION
SensorClick™ is a revolutionary, modular power platform that offers a broad
selection of energy-saving surge protectors and sensors that seamlessly work
together to reduce energy waste. With an extensive and growing list of
sensors, you can quickly and inexpensively set up a custom power management
solution for any application.
The TS1812TF SensorClick 12-outlet Advanced PowerStrip with Timer Footswitch
saves energy by providing users with manual and timed control over power
supplied to electronics plugged into the switched outlets.
GETTING TO KNOW THE PRODUCT
RJ11 sensor port
Plug the timer footswitch into this port.
There will be a soft audible ‘click’ when the connector is inserted correctly.
The timer footswitch must be plugged into the RJ11 sensor port in order for
the switched outlets to function correctly.
LED indicators
Surge LED: When illuminated green, this LED indicates that the surge
protection is functioning normally. If this LED illuminates red or
extinguishes at any time, the Product was sacrificed to protect your devices
and must be replaced.
Ground LED: When illuminated green, this LED indicates that the Product
is correctly grounded. If not illuminated, there is a grounding problem, and
you must contact an electrician to properly ground the outlet. Surge
protection will not work with an improperly grounded outlet.
Switched LED: When illuminated green, this LED indicates that the
switched outlets are receiving power.
Resettable circuit breaker
The Product provide surge protection for all outlets. If no devices are
powered or the LEDs are not illuminated, press the circuit breaker switch to
“RESET” to reactivate power.
Always-on outlets
The always-on outlets receive continuous power and remain on all of the time.
Switched outlets
The switched outlets are controlled by the timer footswitch. The power
supplied to the switched outlets is removed and restored by pressing the
on/off button, and power supplied to the switched outlets is removed if the
countdown timer expires. The switched outlets will remain off if the timer
footswitch is not connected.
outlet
The first switched outlet, marked < > senses current and determines the state
of the device plugged into it. This status is used by the timer footswitch to
determine if the connected device is on or off and to provide extra energy
saving features.
Sensor Click Timer Footswitch
The timer footswitch features a manual on/off button and configurable
countdown timer.
It connects to the power strip via the RJ11 port marked “sensor,” and should
be placed in an easy-to-reach location (e.g. under the desk).
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
- Plug in devices that require continuous power into the always-on outlets (e.g., modem, CPU).
- Plug peripheral electronics into the outlets on the power strip labeled “switched.”
- Set the adjustable threshold switch to “low” when using a monitor as the control device and “high” when using the TV as a control device.
- Plug the SensorClick timer footswitch into the port on the side of the power strip that looks like a phone jack and is marked “sensor”.
- Place the timer footswitch in a location (e.g. under the desk) within reach of your foot .
- Plug the powers trip into a grounded outlet receptacle. The ground and surge lights on the powers trip will illuminate indicating that the powers trip is properly grounded, and that surge protection is active.
Important: The product must only be plugged into a grounded outlet receptacle. All connected electronics should be plugged directly into the product. Use of an extension cord, adapter, or any power strip in conjunction with the Product will void all warranties.
PROGRAMMING THE COUNTDOWN TIMER
The SensorClick timer footswitch has a configurable countdown timer that can
be set to 1-10 hours (one-hour increments).
To configure the countdown timer, press and hold the button on top of the
timer footswitch for 5 seconds until the LED illuminates. Then press the
button the number of times (1-10) to program countdown timer for the
respective number of hours, for example:
- Once for 1 hour
- Two times for 2 hours
- Up to 10 times for 10 hours
Press and hold the button for 5 seconds again to set the countdown timer. After the countdown timer is set, the LED will flash the same number of times the button was pressed to confirm the new timer setting.
TROUBLESHOOTING
-
There is no power supplied to any of the outlets.
Ensure that the circuit breaker switch on the top of the power strip is not set to off. If so, flip the switch to reset the circuit breaker. -
There is no power supplied to the switched outlets.
The Sensor Click timer footswitch must be connected to the power strip. If power is not supplied to switched outlets, press the button on the timer footswitch to manually turn on the switched outlets. -
The Sensor Click timer footswitch is blinking and an alarm is sounding.
This is a notification that countdown timer period is about to expire, and that the electronics plugged into the switched outlets will soon shut off. To reset the timer, press the button on the timer footswitch.
