HOW IT WORKS
Provides  state-of-the  art,  high  quality,  FIREPROOF  surge 
protection  and  stops  standby  power  consumed  by PC and  TV 
peripherals (printer, speakers, charger, modem, scanner, 
sub-woofer,  DVD  player  etc).  Current  sensing  circuitry  senses 
when a PC / TV is Off and then automatically switches off 
selected peripherals to save energy. Simple to install and easy to 
use.
STATE OF THE ART, FIREPROOF SURGE PROTECTION
Incorporates  fireproof  metal  oxide  varistors  (MOV).  TrickleStar 
MOV’s  are  encased  in  a  ceramic  casing and  are capable  of 
suppressing more energy and dissipating heat faster than 
traditional  MOV’s.  More  importantly  the  ceramic  casing  is 
fireproof and can prevent a fire during abnormal surge 
conditions.
