What is the Smart Strip®?
Thank you for purchasing the Smart Strip surge protector. It is continuously rated
by many environmental groups, universities & utility companies as one of the top
5 ways to save energy & help the environment. The Smart Strip is an Advanced
Power Strip/Surge Protector that saves energy by unplugging devices attached
to your computer or TV when they are not being used. It can also be used in
workshops & other setups to make shutdown & startup of multiple devices fast,
easy & complete. At BITS Limited we believe small changes can make a big
difference.

Installing the Smart Strip
Power Switch - This LIGHTED SWITCH is also a 15 amp circuit breaker. It is normally
left on. If it’s not lit, turn it on, reset it or try a different outlet.
Ground & Surge Indicator - When this is lit, your equipment is protected. If it’s not, it
might be:
1. A bad or unavailable ground, use another outlet.
2. The surge protection has failed; check http://bitsltd.net/FAQ or call us.
Control Outlet - Plug your TV or computer here. This outlet controls the SWITCHED
OUTLETS; if the device plugged in here is on, they are on. If off, they are off.
Constant Hot Outlets - Plug your Cable box, satellite receiver, DVR, fax or cable
modem here. These outlets will only turn off with the power switch.
Automatically Switched Outlets - Plug in all of your other accessories here. These will
turn on or off with the device plugged in the CONTROL OUTLET automatically. So when
the device in the control outlet is off, everything here is unplugged & saving you energy.
Setting the Sensitivity Adjustment
You may need to adjust the Smart Strip’s sensitivity. Fortunately, it’s easy to
calibrate, by using a finger nail, small screwdriver or butter knife.
If the switched outlets never turn on
1. Turn on the device that is plugged into the CONTROL OUTLET.
2. Turn the dial slowly clockwise until the SWITCHED OUTLETS turn on.
3. Turn off the device in the control outlet; if the SWITCHED OUTLETS are off,
you’re done.
If the switched outlets never turn off
1. Turn off the device that is plugged into the CONTROL OUTLET.
2. Turn the dial slowly counterclockwise until the SWITCHED OUTLETS turn off.
3. Turn on the device that is on the CONTROL OUTLET; if the SWITCHED
OUTLETS are on, you’re done.
Important Notes
•The adjustment dial is only a 1 turn dial; please do not force it.
•Some computers can take 2-3 minutes before they sleep or hibernate, this may
effect how you calibrate your Smart Strip. When finally it does, everything turns off.
•Risk of electric shock. Do not plug into another relocatable power tap.
