EnerGenie EG-PMS2

He's not your usual extension cord

EnerGenie EG-PMS2 is never a traditional surge protector, but a real high-tech device with a couple of unusual features. It’s not for nothing that the inscription Power Manager flaunts on its body and in fact it is one carrying in a million, which comes with a separate software package.

Programmable sockets with work patterns

Yes, yes, you heard right, proprietary software allows you to programme the power of all four outlets in several modes. The first option is to set a timer to turn off all connected devices at the end of the working day. The second is to set more tricky chains of actions, for example, turn off the scanner when you start Photoshop or turn off computer speakers when Windows goes to sleep. The beauty is that the software is really pumped and allows you to create a lot more with the existing sockets: give them names depending on the connected equipment, create hotkeys for quick on/off, and even save the desired behavior patterns that will not change when another computer is connected to the filter or laptop.

6 earthed outlets

Now about the filter itself. On the unusually plump elongated case there are 6 euro sockets with grounding: 2 ordinary and 4 programmable with light indicators. The total power of this good is 2500 watts. This is quite an adequate indicator that allows you to use this filter with high consumption equipment like boilers. For the safety of equipment, there is a varistor to deal with power surges, protection against short circuits and pulse surges, as well as a thermal switch that automatically turns off the filter when the permissible load level is exceeded. Of course, we did not forget about the curtain protectors. In general, if surge protector manufacturers held their own analogue of the Oscar, we would bet EnerGenie EG-PMS2 to win.
