1. Introduction
Congratulations with your purchase of this Energenie Power
Manager. Your EG-PMSU is an advanced surge protector with power
management features. Four sockets are individually manageable by the
computer via USB interface.
The sockets can be switched on/off by a timer schedule, by user or
different events. It is also possible to pre-program the unit event timer
schedule (hardware schedule) and then disconnect EG-PMSU from the
managing computer. The device can be used as an advanced standby-
killer.
1.1. Features
The main rocker switch enables switching all the sockets on and off
In addition to it every manageable socket can be switched on and off
via the software control window
The unit can be pre-programmed via hardware-based schedule. The
hardware schedule will work even when the managing computer is
switched off
The unit will keep performing the programmed hardware time
schedule even after EG-PMSU is disconnected from the power for
some time

The manageable sockets can then be switched on and off by the
schedule, simple typical applications could be: “switch my
peripherals on every working day at 8:50 AM” etc.
The manageable sockets can also be programmed with Power
Manager software to react whenever a certain event occurs
(Windows or other programs start-up/shutdown), simple typical
applications could be: “switch my scanner on when I want to scan”
or “switch my printer off whenever I exit Windows”

3.1. Getting started
Connect EG-PMSU to the wall outlet first and then to the USB
socket of the manageable computer.
EG-PMSU can now be switched on and off by means of the Main
rocker switch (Z).
The last socket of EG-PMSU is switched on and off by means of the
Main rocker switch (Z) and cannot be managed by the computer –
so it’s called non-manageable socket in this manual.
The sockets: Socket 1, Socket 2, Socket 3 and Socket 4 can be
managed or pre-programmed by computer via USB. They are called
manageable sockets in this manual.
The manageable sockets of EG-PMSU can be programmed to be on
or off. The current status of each manageable socket is represented
by the corresponding indicator which will be lit if the socket has
power to it.
If the Main rocker switch (Z) (see figure #1 above) is turned off then
the manageable sockets cannot be switched on by either Power
manager software or the hardware schedule.
As soon as you turn the Main rocker switch (Z) on then the Power
manager software or the hardware schedule will be able to turn the
manageable sockets on and off.
To protect the connected devices from possible high current and
short circuit EG-PMSU is equipped with the automatic circuit breaker.

NOTE: If the total power consumption (or peak power) of the devices,
connected to EG-PMSU exceeds 1800 Watts, the circuit breaker may
power EG-PMSU off. In this case, please, remove the excessive load first
and then (after 2-3 minutes) press the main rocker switch (Z) to restore
the power supply.
3.2. Power Manager installation
Insert the Power Manager CD into a PC CD-ROM drive.
If for any reason the automatic setup does not work, then open CD-ROM
drive in the My Computer window and launch SETUP.EXE from the CD
Follow instructions of the installation software

EG-PMSU
ENERGENIE PROGRAMMABLE POWER STRIP
All brands and logos are registered trademarks of their respective owners
The new event time should be in the future
There can not be a duplicate entry
The total quantity of events can not exceed 16 per socket
The total quantity of events also depends on the total execution
period of the schedule
The interval between the present and the last entry can not exceed
180 days
Without loop the total execution period of the schedule can not
exceed 215 days
Loop period can not exceed 180 days
NOTE: If the device is powered off the hardware schedule is still in
the device memory and will be resumed when the power supply is
restored. However the whole schedule will be then delayed with the
power cutoff time. You can adjust the schedule eliminating the delay.
Alternatively create and upload a new schedule using the ‘Timer
schedule’ dialog box.
