Priority 

path: Settings > Startup Delay & Outlet Importance 
 
The 

Importance

 column gives a rating from 1 to 8 to each outlet. A rating of 1 indicates the 

highest importance, whilst 8 is the lowest. 
When the Total (device) off threshold for the amperage and/or wattage is crossed (but none of 
the individual off thresholds) the EnergySwitch will use the importance rating to determine which 
outlet to switch off first. 
If two or more outlets have the same rating, the outlet with the last peak load will be switched 
off first. 

Overheat Protection 

path: Settings > Overheat Protection 
 
The EnergySwitch has built in temperature sensors that can help prevent overheating. For more 
information regarding the thresholds and event notifications please refer to the Thresholds and 
SNMP Configuration chapters. 
 

Note:   

The EnergySwitch has a built-in safety that switches off all ports when the temperature 
hits 60°C (140°F) 

regardless

 of the settings in the Overheat Protection section. 

Network Time Protocol (NTP) 

path: Settings > Device Settings 
 
The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a protocol for synchronizing the clocks of computer systems 
over networks. The EnergySwitch is equipped with an onboard clock that can be setup to sync 
with: 

 

pool.ntp.org (default) 

 

a custom NTP server 

 

date & time picker 

 
For more information regarding the configuration of the onboard clock please refer to the Device 
Settings chapter.
