INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
ADJUSTING THE SENSITIVY OF THE SENSOR
®®
INTRODUCTION
GETTING TO KNOW THE PRODUCT
SensorClick™ is a modular power strip and sensor system that
allows you to use the SensorClick advanced power strip with
any SensorClick accessory device. With an extensive and
growing list of sensors, you can quickly and inexpensively set
up an energy-saving solution to suit any application.
The TS1812LL is a SensorClick 12-outlet Advanced PowerStrip
and Light-level Sensor. This solution reduces active and
standby power wasted by electronics by removing the supply of
power to the switched outlets when the lights in the room switch
off. When the lights turn on, the supply of power to the switched
outlets is restored, and plug-in electronics can be turned on.
The two always-on outlets receive constant power and are not
controlled by the light-level sensor.
LED indicators
Surge LED: When illuminated green, this
LED indicates that the surge protection is
functioning normally. If this LED illuminates
red or extinguishes at any time, the Product
was sacrificed to protect your devices and
must be replaced.
Ground LED: When illuminated green, this
LED indicates that the Product is correctly
grounded. If not illuminated, there is a
grounding problem, and you must contact
an electrician to properly ground the outlet.
Surge protection will not work with an
improperly grounded outlet.
Switched LED: When illuminated green,
this LED indicates that the switched outlets
are receiving power.
Resettable circuit breaker
The Product provide surge protection for all
outlets. If no devices are powered or the
LEDs are not illuminated, press the circuit
breaker switch to “RESET” to reactivate
power.
Always-on outlets
The always-on outlets receive continuous
power and remain on all of the time.
Adjustable switching threshold
The adjustable threshold switch allows the
user to easily adjust the threshold of the
control device – the power value at which the
power strip supplies and restores power to
the switched outlets.
Plug in devices that require continuous
power into the always-on outlets (e.g.,
modem, CPU).
Plug peripheral electronics into the
outlets on the power strip labeled
“switched”.
Set the adjustable threshold switch to
“low” when using a monitor as the
control device and “high” when using the
TV as a control device.
Mount the light-level sensor to a flat
surface (e.g., the top or side of the desk) in
a location that is exposed to general
lighting.
Plug the power strip into a grounded
outlet receptacle. The ground and surge
lights on the power strip will illuminate
indicating the that power strip is properly
grounded, and that surge protection is
active.
Important: The product must only be plugged into a grounded outlet receptacle. All connected electroncis should be plugged directly into the
product. Use of an extension cord, adaptor, or any power strip in conjunction with the Product will void all warranties.
!
There is no power supplied to the switched outlets.
The SensorClick light-level sensor must be connected to the power strip, and light must be detected to turn on the switched outlets. Alternatively, press
the button on the light-level sensor to manually turn on the switched outlets.
!
The SensorClick light-level sensor is blinking.
This is a notification that the sensor detected that the lights in the room turned off and that the electronics plugged into the switched outlets will soon
shut off.There is a switching delay period of three minutes.
!
The electronics plugged into the switched oulets keep switching off.
The power strip shuts off the electronics plugged into the switched outlets when the lights in the room turn off. Ensure that the sensor is placed in a
location with sufficient exposure to light.
!
TROUBLESHOOTING
There is no power supplied to any of the outlets.
Ensure that the circuit breaker switch on the top of the power strip is not set to off. If so, flip the switch to reset the circuit breaker.
!
To configure the switching light level, press and hold the button on top SensorClick light-level sensor for 2 seconds until the
red LED illuminates. Then press the button once to switch between HIGH and LOW switching light levels.
After programming, the LED will flash flash oncse to indicate that the sensor is set to the LOW switching light level and twice
to confirm that the sensor is set to the HIGH switching light level.
You can adjust the sensitivity of the light-level sensor by configuring the switching light level.

RJ11 sensor port
Plug the light-level sensor into this port.
There will be a soft audible ‘click’ when the
connector is inserted correctly.
The light-level sensor must be plugged into
the RJ11 sensor port in order for the
switched outlets to function correctly.
Switched outlets
The switched outlets are controlled by the
light-level sensor. When the lights in the
room turn off, power supplied to switched
outlets is removed, and plug-in electronics
power down. When the lights in the room
turn on, power supplied to switched outlets is
restored, and plug-in electronics will turn on
or can be turned on.
< > outlet
The first switched outlet, marked “< >”
senses current and determines the state of
the device plugged into it. This status is used
by the SensorClick light-level sensor to
determine if the connected device is on or off
and to provide extra energy saving features.
SensorClick Light-level Sensor
The light-level sensor is connected to the
power strip via the RJ11 port marked
“sensor.” Mount the light-level sensor to a
clean and dry flat surface. The light-level
sensor must be located in an area that is
exposed to general lighting in order to
function properly.
