TAV LinkTM Multi-Sensor
The multi-sensor is connected to the powerstrip via the RJ11 port marked
“sensor.” Mount the multi-sensor on the underside of the TV near the IR
receiver on the TV (typically located next to the TV's power on/off button).
The multi-sensor must be located within line of sight of where you
normally use your remote controls.
Sensor/RJ11 Port
Plug the TAV LinkTM multi-sensor into this port.
There will be a soft audible ‘click’ when the connector is inserted correctly.
Switched Outlets
If there is no IR or motion detected, these outlets will switch off.
TAV-Link Cable (optional, not supplied)
If there is no IR or motion detected, TAV-Link will send high-level CEC
commands to certain HDMI connected devices, allowing them to safely
store their data and settings prior to powering down

Installation Instructions
Step 2Step 1
Remove the backing from the
double-sided tape on the top of the
multi-sensor. Affix the multi-sensor to
or near the TV's remote sensor.
Ensure that the distance is less than
eight feet from the power strip.
If you have a TV with HDMI inputs,
plug the TAV-Link cable into an open
HDMI port on the TV. TAV-Link
functionality will softly switch off (or
place into an energy saving mode)
HDMI-connected peripherals capable
of receiving CEC commands after no
IR remote control activity or motion is
detected.
Plug the multi-sensor into the port
on the side of the power strip that
looks like a phone jack and marked
“sensor”.

• Five times for 120 minutes (IR sensing only)
After countdown timer is set, the LED will flash the number of times that timer
has been set to.
The sensor has a default buzzer notification that will sound at both 10 minutes
and 3 minutes prior to countdown timer expiration. To disable the audible
notification, press and hold the button for 10 seconds until the red LED
