A solution to eliminate standby power wastage in households and offices. 

More than 10% of Australia's household electricity is wasted on Standby Power.

Not only does this cost the consumers $0.5 billion per year, it also generates 5 million tonnes of CO2 every year.

Electrical consumers such as TVs, entertainment systems, PCs and kitchen appliances are on Standby for up to 7,000 hours per year; even relatively small Standby current can therefore result in significant Standby power usage. 

Our Standby-Power-Saver is the perfect solution to eliminate this power wastage.

 How does it work?

• Simply plug in the unit between electrical consumers and the power outlet.
• You may connect several electrical consumers via a multi-plug to the unit.
• Switch all connected consumers to Standby.
• The unit will now measure the Standby power of the connected systems.
• You can now switch on and off any of the connected units by using your existing remote controls.

If you connect a PC with peripheral devices to the Standby-Power-Saver.

• Simply turn off your PC but leave all other systems such as printer, scanner etc. switched on.
• The unit will measure and register the Standby power usage.
• You can now switch on your PC by pushing the button on the front of the Standby-Power-Saver.

After this simple installation process the Standby-Power-Saver will disconnect the power after 5 minutes, every time when the connected consumers are in standby mode.

This saves approximately 7,000 hours of standby power wastage per year.

You can connect consumers up to 2,300 W of power consumption to each Standby-Power-Saver.

The Standby-Power-Saver also has a power surge protection built in, safeguarding each connected electrical consumer against power fluctuations and power surges during thunder storms and other external influences.

Another benefit lies in the fact that the Standby-Power-Saver keeps the electrical consumer disconnected from the main power for most of the time which considerably increases the lifetime of the electrical consumer.

In addition to above shown examples we also offer a Standby-Power-Saver for kitchen appliances such as coffee makers, water jugs and suitable for office copy machines. For these applications the activation for switching on the power again is by a built in proximity sensor.  When moving to within a distance of 40 cm towards the connected device the power will be re-activated.

The Ecoman Standby Power Saver pays itself off in less than one year.
