Power Box 5

Version-2 Software
Now Available.
You wanted an easier to use menu and here it is:-

Change Modes with the single touch of the mode button.. So Simple!!

Changing Operating Mode:
Briefly press the Menu button on the front panel to change mode. With each press, the display will show: INSTANT then LATCH then TIMER.

Instant or Momentary: The device is only on while the switch is held down. Often used to teach cause-effect, or with momentary appliances such as a blender or milk shake mixer.
Latching: Press once for on, press again for off. Used for functional control of appliances and lights, especially if the appliance is to remain on for a while.
Latching - Dual Switch: Press one switch for on, and a second for off. This mode can help reinforce the difference between 'on' and 'off'.
Timer: The device stays on for a set period. This easy to set timer can range from one second to nine hours! The time remaining is displayed as the timer counts down.

If you are the owner of the older Power Box 5 with software version 1.1
Please feel free to contact Technical Solutions if you would like to have your Power Box upgraded with the new more user friendly software.

Other Menu functions of the new Power Box 5 version 2:

Setting the Time Delay:
To set the time delay follow the above instructions to select Timer mode and then press and hold Menu for 2 seconds. The Display will show Set TIME 0:00:00 where h:mm:ss is the current delay time in hours:minutes:seconds.

An underline cursor should be visible under the hour position, indicating that this is the value to be adjusted. Pressing Up or Down will change this value. Once the desired number of hours are visible, pressing Menu will enter that value and move the cursor to the last place of the minutes. Again, Up and Down will change the value displayed. Pressing Menu will enter the minutes value and move onto the seconds, which can be set in a similar manner. Once the time settings have been made, pressing Menu again will return to: TIMER

Setting the Tremor Delay: The Tremor Delay operates only on the external user switch and sets the period of time that the switch must be held before activation. If the switch is released in this time the appliance will not operate. The Tremor Delay can be very useful if the switch is likely to be inadvertently bumped - with a Tremor Delay of about 0.1 to 0.5 seconds, such bumps will not activate the PowerBox whereas a longer sustained switch press will activate the PowerBox.

To set the Tremor Delay follow the above instructions to select Instant mode and then press and hold Menu for 2 seconds. The Display will show: Set TREMOR xxs
where x.x is the current tremor delay in seconds and tenths of seconds.
Use the Up and Down buttons to select the desired delay. Setting the delay to 0.0 will mean that there is no tremor delay. Pressing the menu button will set the tremor delay and return to Instant mode.
