Model: 183SS-US-8XX

1. הקדמה

The TrickleStar 183SS-US-8XX Motion Sensor Power Strip is designed to help reduce energy consumption by automatically switching power to connected devices based on motion detection and the power state of a primary control device. This power strip also provides surge protection for your electronics.

3. פּראָדוקט איבערview

The TrickleStar 183SS-US-8XX features different types of outlets and indicators:

  • קאָנטראָל אָוטלעט: One outlet (typically black) designed for a primary device (e.g., TV, computer). The power state of this device influences the 'Switched' outlets.
  • שטענדיק אויף אַוטלעץ: Two outlets that provide continuous power, independent of the control outlet or motion sensor, as long as the main power switch is on.
  • סוויטשט אַוטלעץ: Four outlets that receive power only when the device in the Control Outlet is active AND motion is detected by the sensor.
  • באַוועגונג סענסאָר: An external sensor connected via a cable, detecting movement to activate the 'Switched' outlets.
  • Power Switch/Circuit Breaker: A 2-in-1 rocket switch that controls the main power and acts as a 15 amp resettable circuit breaker.
  • LED ינדיקאַטאָרס: Lights indicating 'Switched' outlet status and 'Surge' protection status.

4. סעטאַפּ

  1. אָרט: Place the power strip on a stable surface or mount it using the integrated wall mount feature.
  2. Connect Motion Sensor: Ensure the motion sensor's cable is securely plugged into its designated port on the power strip.
  3. Plug in Primary Device: Connect your primary device (e.g., TV, computer, monitor) into the קאָנטראָל אָוטלעט. The power state of this device is crucial for the functionality of the 'Switched' outlets.
  4. Plug in Controlled Devices: Connect devices you wish to be controlled by motion and the primary device (e.g., speakers, lamps, chargers) into the סוויטשט אַוטלעץ.
  5. Plug in Always-On Devices: Connect devices that require continuous power (e.g., modem, router, DVR) into the שטענדיק אויף אַוטלעץ.
  6. פּאָזיציע באַוועגונג סענסאָר: Position the motion sensor in an area where it can effectively detect movement within its range (up to 1.2 meters). Avoid placing it behind obstacles or in direct sunlight.
  7. פאַרבינדן צו וואנט אָוטלעט: Plug the power strip's angled space saver plug into a standard grounded wall outlet.
  8. מאַכט אויף: Flip the 2-in-1 power ON/OFF rocket switch to the 'ON' position.

5. אַפּערייטינג ינסטרוקטיאָנס

The TrickleStar 183SS-US-8XX operates based on the interaction between the Control Outlet, Motion Sensor, and the main power switch.

  • הויפּט מאַכט סוויטש: This switch controls power to all outlets. When in the 'ON' position, the 'Always On' outlets are active, and the 'Control' and 'Switched' outlets are ready for operation. It also functions as a resettable 15 amp קרייַז צוימען.
  • Control Outlet Functionality: The 'Switched' outlets will only receive power if the device plugged into the 'Control Outlet' is powered ON. If the control device is off, the 'Switched' outlets will remain off, regardless of motion detection.
  • באַוועגונג סענסאָר אַקטאַוויישאַן: Once the device in the 'Control Outlet' is ON, the motion sensor will detect movement. Upon detection, the 'Switched' outlets will activate, providing power to connected devices.
  • אָטאַמאַטיק פאַרמאַכן: If no motion is detected for a predetermined period (typically a few minutes, though not user-adjustable on this model), and the control device remains on, the 'Switched' outlets will power off to save energy. They will reactivate upon new motion detection.
  • LED ינדיקאַטאָרס:
    • Surge LED (Green): When lit, this indicates that the surge protection is active and functioning correctly. If this light is off, the surge protection may have been compromised, and the power strip should be replaced.
    • סוויטשט LED: This light indicates the power status of the 'Switched' outlets. It will be lit when the 'Switched' outlets are receiving power.

6. וישאַלט

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your power strip.

  • סערדזש שוץ טשעק: Periodically check the 'Surge' LED indicator. If it is off, the surge protection has been exhausted, and the unit will no longer protect against surges. Replace the power strip immediately.
  • ויסמיידן אָווערלאָאַדינג: Do not connect devices that collectively exceed the power strip's maximum wattage (1800 watts) or ampעלטער (15 amps). Overloading can trip the circuit breaker or damage the unit.

7. טראָובלעשאָאָטינג

If you encounter issues with your TrickleStar power strip, refer to the following common solutions:

  • No Power to Any Outlets:
    • Check if the main power switch is in the 'ON' position.
    • Press the resettable circuit breaker button if it has popped out.
    • זייט זיכער אז די מאַכט-שטריק איז זיכער אַרייַנגעשטעקט אין אַ פונקציאָנירנדיקן וואַנט-אויסגאַנג.
  • Switched Outlets Not Activating:
    • Verify that the primary device in the 'Control Outlet' is powered ON.
    • Check the motion sensor's placement. Ensure it has a clear line of sight and is not obstructed.
    • Confirm the motion sensor cable is securely connected to the power strip.
    • Allow a few seconds for the motion sensor to detect movement.
  • Surge LED is Off:
    • This indicates that the surge protection component has been consumed. The power strip will no longer provide surge protection. It is recommended to replace the unit to ensure continued protection for your devices.
  • קרייז ברעיקער טריפּס אָפט:
    • You may be overloading the power strip. Disconnect some devices, especially high-wattage appliances (e.g., heaters exceeding 750 watts), and try resetting the breaker. The maximum capacity is 1800 watts.
