What to plug in and where:
‘Normal’
– Plug peripheral TV appliances that you want to remain connected to mains power at all times into this
socket. Usually this is appliances is which you pre-program the recording of future TV programs at specific times.
Typical examples of appliances that some people use this way includes; Pay TV units, DVD and/or Video Recorders,
TiVo etc. If you do not pre-program these appliances you may maximise energy savings by plugging them into a
‘Slave’ socket.
‘Master’
– Plug your TV in here. When the TV is left in Standby, the device will disconnect mains power to the TV.
The Powerboard is designed to work with all TV’s in use in Australia. A small proportion of TV’s may have power
use characteristics that means the Powerboard may behave differently (e.g. hand held, portable TVs) to what is
outlined here. Appliance instruction manuals etc. should be consulted to ensure that the operation of the
Powerboard (e.g. disconnecting power) will not damage the TV or appliances, or alter their operation in an
unacceptable way.
‘Slaves’ –
Plug other peripheral TV appliances in here. When the TV/Master is left in a Standby the device will
disconnect mains power to these ‘Slave’ appliances. (Usually this is your
DVD player, games console, set top box,
home entertainment systems, speakers, stereo surround sound etc.
)
If you do not pre-program recording on appliances such as Pay TV units, DVD and/or Video Recorders, TiVo etc.
these appliances can also be plugged into a ‘Slave’ socket.
