Smart Tech Power Surge Bar

Smart Tech Power Surge Bar Saves Energy

Did you know that computer peripherals, like printers and scanners, continue to use energy, even after you turn them off? It's called 'idle' current, and whether or not your using your peripherals, you're still paying to power them. More than just a power strip the Smart Strip actually senses how much power your computer peripherals use. And when the Smart Strip senses that you've turned your computer off, it automatically shuts off your peripherals, too, preventing them from drawing an idle current.

...you leave just your peripherals on: The public has a vast amount of computer peripherals available to them. Most computer systems now have at least a monitor, scanner, printer, DSL/Cable modem and a USB hub. While the computer is turned off, each peripheral still draws an idle current of 50 mA to 400 mA per hour. Multiply that by the number of peripherals you have, and the number of hours you leave them plugged in (usually 24 hours a day, 7 days a week), and you can see how that 'idle current' can really add up on your bill! Just a printer and a monitor can draw as much in idle current as a 60-watt light that is on 24/7. Would you leave a 60W or greater lamp on 24 hours a day?

Save Energy. If...you leave everything on: By using a simple computer script combined with the Smart Strip Power Strip in a standard office environment where the computers are left on 24/7, the computer would shut off at the end of the day or if it is not used for 1 hour (user/administer programmable). Then, the computer and its peripherals would be on only 9 hours, 5 days a week. This results in a 73% power savings* on the power used by the office computer system.

*Smart Strip Energy Savings

The only surge protector that pays for itself. The Smart Strip Power Strip is the only surge protector on the market today with energy saving electronics. The amount you save depends on your usage patterns and your computer. Tests conducted by an independent computer consulting company showed that the Smart Strip Power Strip can save enough energy to pay for itself in as little as six weeks. It also showed that it can save up to $20.00 per month on your electric bill per computer.

The only power strip that helps environment. ENERGY STAR studies show that if every home office replaced all their computer equipment with ENERGY STAR labeled computer equipment, it would save 219 billion pounds of greenhouse gases. While ENERGY STAR does not have a category for energy saving power strips, by using the Smart Strip Power Strip" on your existing computer system, you will save more than just energy and greenhouse gases. You will be keeping more computers out of the landfills.

Consider the fact the office computers far out number home computers and that most offices leave their computers on 24/7 and this simple solution when used on all computers equates to being a BIG part of the solution for the Energy Crisis.

It's cheaper than a standard surge protector. Our power strip costs less than most of the top-end surge protectors (1250 joules or more). This translates into you getting the energy savings electronics for free and still paying a lower price for the Smart Strip's top-end surge protector.

Top of the line surge protection. Most surge protectors come with 1250 joules or less of surge protection. Smart Strip comes with 2225 joules, almost double the industry average. All Surge protectors have 1 fuse, Smart Strip has 4 different fuses. Each one is responsible for a different task. Then using one simple indicator Smart Strip monitors the status of the entire surge protector and the ground. This means your computer is protected twice as much as the average surge protector on the market.

Best noise filtering on the market. The Smart Strip Power Strip is the only surge protector that uses noise filtering chokes that other companies leave it out because they consider it too expensive. The chokes eliminate high frequency spikes that film capacitors in standard surge protector do not catch. This adds a second layer of protection for your equipment, as well as optimizing the strip's performance.

Save Time. Save Money. Listed below are just some of the many ways that the Smart Strip saves time and money: 1. No more waiting for your computer to shutdown before you can turn off your computer peripherals. 2. No more leaving your computer peripherals on. 3. No need to replace your computer and/or your computer peripherals to save. 4. No software, No drivers, No messing with your computer to save. 5. However, you can add optional software to enhance the smart strip if you like. 6. The Smart strip saves money on your monthly energy bill. (see table below, "If you leave everything on..."). 7. Less costly than most other surge protectors + high quality + better guarantees = a great value. 8. Better protection means not replacing your computer because of lightning damage.

...you shut everything off: If you shut everything off, you will enjoy the benefits of the Smart Strip even more. 1. No more waiting for the computer to turn off. 2. No more bending over to turn off your power strip. 3. All those peripherals that do not have a power switch can now also be turned off. 4. Did you know that all those plug in transformers have a leakage current? Even if the device that they are attached to is turned off, a transformer has a leakage current of more than 4 watts. The Smart Strip stops leakage current.

I would welcome the opportunity to discuss the use of this product internally to showcase that you are a leader in power savings and becoming more environmentally aware. As you can see this product will save money, wear and tear on equipment, and make it easier for staff to have a feeling of being part of the solution. It is the only power bar that will pay you back in a very short period of time. This product thru its features will show other agencies that you have taken steps to reduce your carbon footprint and pay for itself in short order at the same time.
