ZIGBEE® MULTI-SENSOR
Premium quality, fireproof surge protection that reduces standby and active power waste from electronics
OVERVIEW
The Tier 2 ZigBee® Multi-Sensor Advanced PowerStrip+ (APS+)
provides premium quality surge protection and reduces the amount
of standby and active power wasted by electronics.
The APS+ is designed for use with set-top box systems.
The APS+ includes a low voltage RJ11 port which supports the
connection of a Zigbee
frequency (RF), infrared (IR), and motion.
The APS+ includes advanced power measurement and patented
auto-threshold detection. This allows the APS to accurately support
all types of televisions from old to new high efficiency types. It
provides automation to reduce wasteful standby and active power,
and it is suitable for TV/home theater applications.
In addition to standard power switching, the APS+ also supports “soft
switching” via high-level CEC commands from the multi-sensor to an
HDMI port on the TV; this feature is known as TAV-Link and will result
in placement of connected HDMI devices into a power-saving state
by high-level commands.

FIREPROOF SURGE PROTECTION
Traditional surge suppression products use standard MOV (metal oxide
varistor) components. TrickleStar Tier 2 APS+ incorporates advanced
surge protection technology. The MOVs are encased in ceramic and
are capable of suppressing more energy and dissipating heat faster
than traditional MOVs. More importantly, the ceramic casing is fireproof
and therefore is capable of preventing fire during surge conditions.
The best way to save energy is to stop wasting it.

or Comcast®
Detects ZigBee RF4CE* RF, IR remote control signals and motion.
Includes a configurable countdown timer that will switch off the
TV and peripherals if no RF, IR or motion is detected.
Status LED flashes when RF, IR or motion is detected.
Patented sensing hardware and algorithm looks for RF and IR
commands first. It then looks for motion after a period where no
RF or IR commands are detected.
Supports high level CEC* commands via TAV-Link cable to the TV
and to the peripherals for soft switch off.
TAV-Link functionality allows “smart” TVs to store their data and
settings safely before powering down. TAV-Link also allows
gaming consoles to enter an energy-saving mode earlier and
without any corruption of data.

Supports RF4CE pairing with DirecTV
controls (can pair up to 4 remotes).
Includes a soft chirp, piezo buzzer to warn of a pending shutdown
10 minutes prior to shutdown.

and Comcast® remote
STEP 1
Quickly press the pinhole pairing button
located on the back of the multi-sensor to
trigger the pairing process.
A blue LED will flash for a period of 15
seconds - indicating the multi-sensor is in
pairing mode.
STEP 2
Place the RF4CE DirecTV or Comcast remote
near the sensor (within two inches) and press
the 0 key on the remote until the red LED
illuminates. Repeat with other RF4CE remote
controls (up to four).
The multi-sensor will exit pairing mode after
15 seconds if no RF button presses are
detected.
*RF4CE (Radio Frequency for Consumer Electronics) is a radio frequency
protocol for audio and video device remote controls. It provides two-way,
high-speed communications which allow remote signals to transmit
through cabinets, obstacles, walls and floors.
*CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) is the control protocol found in HDMI.

To configure the countdown timer, press
and hold the button for 10 seconds until
the red LED illuminates. Then press:
• Once for 30 minutes
• Twice for 60 minutes
• Three times for 120 minutes
LED will flash once for 30 minutes, twice
for 60 minutes (default setting) and three
times for 120 minutes.
