Green Board been well received - saving on standby power and money with a flick of a switch!
Power Saving Green Board, model B12R
The Green Board is designed to save power to devices that are in standby but still consuming power. The unique remote switch allows 4 outlets on the remote bank to be completely turned off. The other 4 outlets remain on for devices like pay TV decoders or any recording device that needs to be on permanently so as to perform time related tasks like recording. This allows the user to get the best of both worlds while saving on energy consumption and therefore saving money too.
As an added bonus the remote button has a clever USB charging circuit built into the switch cover. The circuit will allow a single power hungry iphone to charge or two other devices like an MP3 player or camera.
The two LED lights on the button switch indicate there is power to the USB charger and also alerts the user if the remote bank is turned on or off. The LED lights have been placed at the rear of the switch so as to offer a softer illumination when in a dark environment.
The remote switch has an extra long cable to connect into the side of the board ensuring there is ample lead for even the largest systems. The cable ensures there is power for the USB chargers as well as allowing the operator to easily switch the remote power saving bank "on" or "off" easily. No need to worry about replacing batteries or calibrating either. Our Research and Development team have come up with another Australian first – this board can connect to an automated home system by purchasing a separate lead! The only product in its class currently on the market that is able to do this.
November 2009 saw the release of the Smart Green Board. The board has a built in USB charger on the remote switch and is designed to turn off standby power and saving on elctircity and money too. It is also the only board in its class that can be integrated into most Automated Home Systems.
