Instrucțiuni de configurare

Follow these steps to set up your TrickleStar TS0006 Advanced Powertap:

1. Plug in the Control Device: Connect your primary device (e.g., TV or PC) into the outlet labeled "control". This device will dictate the power state of the "switched" outlets.
2. Conectați dispozitivele mereu active: Plug any electronics that require constant power (e.g., router, modem, DVR) into the outlets labeled "always on". These outlets will remain powered regardless of the control device's state.
3. Attach Switched Devices: Connect peripherals that you want to power on/off with your control device (e.g., DVD player, printer, speakers) into the outlets labeled "switched". These outlets will receive power only when the control device is active.
4. Adjust Threshold (if applicable): If your model has an adjustable threshold switch, set it according to your control device's power consumption. Refer to the suggested settings for optimal performance (e.g., High for large LCD/LED TVs or desktop PCs, Low for laptops).
5. Plug in the Powertap: Finally, plug the TrickleStar TS0006 power cord into a grounded wall outlet.

Informații de siguranță

TrickleStar products are designed with multiple safety features to protect users and connected devices. Please adhere to the following safety guidelines:

• Certificat UL: All TrickleStar products are certified to the latest UL safety standards, ensuring compliance with industry benchmarks for safety and testing. The factory is inspected and certified annually by UL.
• Heavy-Duty Power Cord and Plug: The powertap uses a heavy-duty power cord rated to 15 Amps and high-quality flat plugs that are resistant to bending or damage.
• Material plastic cu clasificare UL94 V-0: Constructed with UL94 V-0 rated plastic, which is significantly less flammable than lower-rated plastics used by many other brands. This thicker, stronger plastic also makes the enclosure more rigid and less likely to fracture.
• Safety Screws: Equipped with safety screws to prevent unauthorized opening of the unit, reducing the risk of electrocution.
• Indicatoare LED: The LED indicator lenses are molded into the casing to prevent moisture ingress, which could lead to electrical hazards.
• Child Safety Protection Covers: Features child safety protection covers to prevent children from inserting objects into unused outlets.
• High-Quality Circuit Breaker: Utilizes a heavy-duty, high-quality circuit breaker with a molded enclosure that protects it and allows it to operate freely, preventing it from being jammed by furniture.
• Heat Shrink Internal Power Cable: Internal power cables are dressed in heat shrink and physically separated to prevent touching and increasintemperaturi interne g.
• FR-4 Printed Circuit Board Materials: Uses FR-4 (flame resistant) printed circuit board materials, the highest flame retardant rating, ensuring burning stops within 10 seconds in case of an issue.
• Întrerupător termic: Includes two thermal safety fuses (one on the PCB, one near the MOVs) that will blow and cut off power in the event of an over-temperature condition.
• Ceramic Encased Metal Oxide Varistors (MOVs): Patented ceramic-encased MOVs prevent fire in the event of an abnormal electrical surge. These MOVs suppress more energy, dissipate heat faster, and eliminate fire risks from MOV failures.
• Crimped and Soldered Jumper Cables: Jumper cables are crimped with a special connector before insertion and soldering onto the PCB, preventing splaying and dangerous arcing. Internal jumper cables are also spot welded and soldered for a strong, reliable electrical connection that prevents arcing and heat buildup.

If you encounter issues with your TrickleStar TS0006, try the following troubleshooting steps:

• No Power to Switched Outlets:
  • Ensure the control device is properly plugged into the "control" outlet and is powered on.
  • Check the threshold switch setting (if applicable) to ensure it matches your control device's power consumption.
  • Verify that the powertap's main circuit breaker has not tripped. If it has, reset it by pressing the button.
• No Power to Any Outlet:
  • Check if the powertap is securely plugged into a working wall outlet.
  • Inspect the wall outlet by plugging in another device to confirm it has power.
  • Check the powertap's main circuit breaker and reset if tripped.
• Surge LED Off: If the "surge" LED indicator is off, it means the surge protection has been compromised (e.g., after a major power surge). The powertap may still provide power, but it will no longer protect against surges. It is recommended to replace the unit.
• Ground LED Off: If the "ground" LED indicator is off, it indicates an improper ground connection. This can compromise surge protection. Ensure the wall outlet is properly grounded.
