How many peripherals do you have plugged in to the mains apart from your PC? Monitor, speakers, printer, scanner, desk light, backup drive, PDA cradle, USB hub, water cooler? Wouldn't it be convenient to be able to switch them all on and off at once? Think of the savings in electricity and wear-and-tear, not to mention the bliss of the complete silence that you'll notice when all their transformers stop buzzing!

To use the OneClick 8-way Intelligent Mains Panel, plug your PC into the grey "Master socket", and up to seven (panel) other items into the remaining outlets. When you switch your PC on, the OneClick will detect the change in power being drawn by the PC and automatically switch on all the other items within three seconds. And when you turn your PC off, it turns all the other items off too! Clever eh?

OneClick 8-way Intelligent Mains Panel

If you have more items you want to switch on and off automatically than free sockets on the OneClick, you can plug an ordinary multi-way mains extension block into one of the white sockets. The OneClick is capable of switching any number of devices, up to a maximum total loading of 13 amps at 250V (3.25kW). It even gives built-in surge protection for all its sockets and is compatible with uninterruptible power supplies (just plug the OneClick into the UPS mains output).

If you use your PC for eight hours a day, a OneClick will pay for itself in just one year through electricity savings alone, and if you use it for 15 years, you'll save around £500 at today's electricity prices! If you use your computer for under eight hours a day (in other words, it is switched off for more than 16 hours) you will save even more!

So the OneClick makes it easy to turn everything on and off using "one click" and will also make your peripherals last longer because they won't wear out by being on standby all the time. It minimises fire risk by switching off items while you're away. Think of the money you'll save and the benefit to the environment. And as a bonus, the OneClick Intelligent Mains Panel even has a phone/modem splitter built into it!

"Zero-crossing detection" is used as a method of determining when the power supply to the peripherals is at an optimum level, creating the least amount of stress to components. Switching at this point, the OneClick automatically ensures that less electrical noise is emitted in the form of interference to other electrical products such as the radio and TV.

One other excellent use for this product is as an automatic way of switching Zalman's famous Reserator 1 on and off. When using the OneClick with a Reserator, you no longer need to remember to turn the Reserator on and off when you use your PC.

PLEASE NOTE: The OneClick has been designed only for use within the UK and Ireland, and are not suitable for use with laptops.
