1. Introduction
Congratulationswithyourpurchaseofthis Silvershield Power
Manager.YourSIS-PMSisan advanced surge protectorwithpower
managementfeatures.Foursocketsareindividuallymanageablebythe
computervia USBinterface.
The socketscan be switched on/off byatimerschedule,byuseror
differentevents.It isalsopossibletopre-programtheuniteventtimer
schedule(hardwareschedule)and then disconnectSIS-PMS fromthe
managingcomputer.The devicecan be used asan advanced standby-
killer.
1.1. Features
•The mainrockerswitchenablesswitching allthe socketson and off
•Inaddition toiteverymanageablesocket can be switched on and off
via the softwarecontrolwindow
•The unitcan be pre-programmedviahardware-based schedule.The
hardwareschedulewillwork evenwhen the managingcomputeris
switched off
•The unitwillkeepperforming the programmed hardwaretime

•The manageablesocketscan then be switched on and off bythe
schedule,simpletypicalapplicationscouldbe:“switchmy
peripheralson everyworking dayat8:50 AM” etc.
•The manageablesocketscan alsobe programmedwith Power
Manager softwaretoreactwheneveracertaineventoccurs
(Windowsorotherprogramsstart-up/shutdown),simpletypical
applicationscouldbe:“switchmyscanneron when Iwanttoscan”
or“switchmy printeroff wheneverI exit Windows”
•Realtime Voltagemonitor providesinformation aboutthe actual
statusofeachmanageablesocket(on oroff).Thisinformation can
be furtherutilized invariousways(e.g.tocheckthe proper
execution of the switching commands)
•The unitcan beassigned anetwork nameasashared LAN
resourceand can be afterwardsaccessed and managed from
anywherewithinthe local area network orInternet(provided the
managing computerisswitched on)

3. Installation
•Itisstronglyrecommended toavoiddamporwetplacesfor
installation.
•SIS-PMSshouldbe connected tothe European ACwall socketof
the standardDIN49 440.
3.1. Getting started
•Connect SIS-PMS tothewall socketfirst and then totheUSB socket
of the manageablecomputerorviceversa.
•SIS-PMScan nowbe switched on and off bymeansofthe Main
rockerswitch(Z).
•Two(the first and the last)socketsof SIS-PMSaremarked withthe
symbol .Thesetwosocketsareswitched on and offby
meansofthe Main rockerswitch(Z) and cannotbe managed bythe
computer–sotheyarecalled non-manageable sockets inthis
manual.
•IfSIS-PMS isswitched on then the red indicatorPOWERislit. In
thiscasebothnon-manageablesocketsarenow live and connected
tothe powersupply.
•The sockets: Socket 1, Socket 2,Socket3and Socket4 can be
managed orpre-programmed bycomputerviaUSB.Theyarecalled
manageable sockets inthismanual.
