About Standby Power
Many consumer electronics continue to draw power even when they are switched off. This constant power use is known as "Standby Power" or "Phantom Power" and adds up to about $200 in yearly energy costs for an average home.
Surge Protection
Shield your electronic devices from voltage spikes by absorbing excess energy and preventing damage. The powerstrip help extend the lifespan of your equipment and protect against potential electrical fires caused by power surges.
How It Works
When a device plugged into the Control Outlet is turned off, the Plugload APS detects the drop in energy consumption and then cuts the power to the Energy-saving Outlets, thus eliminating energy consumption from those peripheral devices. A typical scenario is to have a television connected to the Control Outlet with the sound system and DVD player connected to the Energy-saving Outlets, so when the television is turned off, all peripheral devices turn off as well. Gaming consoles typically have hard disk drives and should be plugged into an Always-on Outlet.
7 Outlets
Includes 1 control outlet, 2 always-on outlets and 4 energy saving outlets with transformer spacing.
15 Amp Resettable Circuit Breaker
Provides enhanced safety and protection by automatically resetting after a power surge.
1,080 Joules Surge Protection
Premium fireproof protection at 500 VPR to safeguard your devices from power surges.
Control Outlet
This current-sensing outlet controls whether power is supplied to the switched outlets or not. The control device (e.g., TV or PC) must be plugged into this outlet.
Surge LED Indicators
When illuminated green, this LED indicates that the surge protection is functioning normally. If this LED extinguishes at any time, the APS was sacrificed to protect your devices and must be replaced.

How does the Plugload Advanced PowerStrip (APS) save energy?
The APS saves energy by detecting when a device plugged into the Control Outlet is turned off and then cutting power to related peripheral devices connected to the Energy-saving Outlets. This prevents unnecessary energy consumption from devices that are not in use.
Can the APS be used with any type of electronic device?
Yes, the APS is designed to work with a wide range of devices. For best results, connect devices that you frequently use together to the Control Outlet and Energy-saving Outlets, while keeping essential devices, like gaming consoles, plugged into the Always-on Outlet.
What should be plugged into the Always-on Outlet?
Devices that need continuous power, such as gaming consoles with hard disk drives, should be plugged into the Always-on Outlet to ensure they remain operational even when other devices are turned off.
Can I use the APS with my home office setup?
Absolutely. The APS is ideal for home office setups. Connect your main equipment, such as your computer, to the Control Outlet and other peripherals like printers and monitors to the Energy-saving Outlets to reduce overall energy consumption.
Will using the APS affect the performance of my devices?
No, the APS is designed to seamlessly manage power without affecting the performance of your devices. It only cuts power to devices that are not in use, while ensuring that essential devices remain operational.
