The Take Charge Power Saver captured Best
in Class for the New Product World Award and received Take a look around your home at the number of AC cords, especially AC adapters, plugged into the wall, not only in your hobby area, but even your home entertainment center. IPhones and tablets, cell phone and digital camera chargers, DVRs, printers, laptop computers – the list is considerable. According to a poll, waster power costs the average homeowner $50 a year. The PowerSaver automatically switches off multiple accessories when they aren’t in use. It has eight AC outlets with specific capabilities. Two of the outlets are permanently on in the usual extension mode, but five of the outlets switch on and off automatically as the equipment or appliance plugged into the eighth (control) outlet is turned on or off by the operator. For example, suppose you have your radio base station plugged into the control outlet. You could plug the AC adaptors or AC cords from an antenna rotator, computer, printer, scanner, and auxiliary radio into the five switched outlets, and still have two hot outlets that remain on for an electric clock and any other item you’d like to remain on. When you switch on the main equipment – at least a 40 watt load – all of the accessories plugged into the five controlled outlets switch on automatically. And when you’re done, simply switch of the main rig and all five accessories switch off (except for the “always on” accessories). A circuit breaker is also mounted on the unit to reset any surge-protected shutdown. Total power capacity is 1600 watts. |
