What is the EmberCeptor PC™?

The EmberCeptor PC™ automatically switches off power to peripherals connected to the power saving socket when the computer switches off or goes into sleep mode.

Equipment is re-powered by simply reactivating your computer.

The EmberCeptor PC™ connects to existing power boards and works with all computer equipment regardless of brand or age.

NOTE: It is not guaranteed to work accurately for laptops with old or damaged batteries.

What Power is Wasted?

Many of today’s appliances for the home and office continue to use power, even when the appliance is turned off. Appliances that are left on unintentionally or are in sleep mode, waste even more power.

Automatic Power Down

EmberCeptor PC™ eliminates standby power consumed by computer and office equipment that has been left on or has entered sleep mode.

Using Your EmberCeptor PC™

Before First Use

Remove any packaging and promotional material from the EmberCeptor PC™ device.

Setting Up the

EmberCeptor PC™

To maximise your energy saving, please ensure your computer’s power management settings are active so the computer enters sleep, standby or hibernate modes. Normally this function is found in a menu in a PC, called ‘Power Options’.

In an iMac, ‘Energy Saver’ is used to tell the computer when to go to sleep.

Other option is to send your Mac to sleep, close the lid on your portable Mac or press the on/off button once on your desktop Mac.

NOTE: Devices that are connected to the ‘Power Saver’ socket will be automatically switched off during the computer’s power saving cycle.

Connect the equipment that needs to remain turned on, such as the internet modem / router, fax machine, to another free socket on the wall outlet.

Plug the EmberCeptor PC™ into a

220V-230V wall socket in Europe, or into a 120V wall socket in US, and turn the power point on at the wall (if the wall outlet has a switch).

NOTE: Only equipment connected to the EmberCeptor PC™ will be protected against surge.

NOTE: Only one computer is to be connected to the ‘Computer

Only’ socket.

Identify the equipment that is used with the computer, such as monitors, printers, speakers, external hard drives and lamps, and plug them into the socket marked

‘Power Saver’.

NOTE: If the power management settings are not active on the computer, the peripherals connected to the EmberCeptor PC™

‘Power Saver’ socket will only be turned off when the computer is manually shut down.

NOTE: Where there is more than one device that needs to be connected, any power board, powerstrip, trailing socket or surge board may be connected to the

‘Power Saver’ socket.
