We are looking at this for our server room. Can anyone tell me if this unit will turn back on itself after a power outage, once power is restored?

I have a 12k BTU unit and it has automatically come back on after an outage of about a half hour.

As the description states: Auto-restart saves your settings for when power is restored to the unit

On my unit if the power plug gets pulled when it is on it comes back on. So if the unit is own a power strip and the power strip gets turned off the unit will power back up. I keep my unit on my desk but keep it powered off unless I need to use it.

I run 2 Servers in my home office (I am an IT Consultant), plus the rest of my home on this unit. About 5 months ago we lost power for 48 hours and we ran the generator using Natural Gas. I had a couple of hiccups with some of my UPS's due to voltage fluctuation. I think it has to do with the sensitivity of the units. My older UPS units did not have an issue. I have found out from others in my field that this is common with newer units. I have APC older units and they did beep every once in awhile, but the equipment stayed on all 48 hours. The newer units did not and once the battery was used up, the equipment turned off. I don't want to give out model #'s because just because mine worked, I can't guarantee it will work for you. Once it gets warmer around here I am going to try and put surge suppressors in front of the newer units to see if that helps. If not I would try to put cheap UPS's in front of the High Capacity units. Hope that helps. BTW, I have my generator connected using a manual transfer switch and when I lost power, I was able to be on generator power in under 3 minutes.... Power went out... I went outside, removed the cover, turned on the Natural Gas, turned the key... That was it. I use a battery tender always connected to the unit so the battery is always fully charged. Total install including the generator was under $2600.

I personally had problems with the unit and disconnected from my system. My two systems are tied together with a 2 port KVM switch. If I remember correctly - one of the disks would go to sleep.

Yes, mine has been running for a year or two now with several power outages; restarts automatically.

yes power outage wipes all settings and you annoyingly have to reset it. I have mine light on, timer off so the off time gets messed up. Just reset mine today when I noticed it was staying on all night

The manual reads: "If there is a power outage, the display and lights blink when the power is restored. All slow cooker settings have been cleared and must be reset......"

No, and this is horribly annoying. Even a brief outage resets the clocks, alarms and everything - you have to completely reprogram everything. If you have power issues at all I would advise against it.

Regis, It will continue to average the data either until you reset it or the power goes out in your home or office do to a storm, or if you catch your leg in the cord and pull it out of the wall. Good product, tricky to set up because of overly complicated procedures and poorly organized instructions. Once you get it set up though, it's nice. I use 3 of them to monitor my server farms power and dollar consumption.

I'm guessing you can put paper in it and then unplug the power from the back and plug it back in and it will most likely reset itself and operate correctly.

Yes and no. Our power just went out last week. When it happened the feeder let out a loud beep. An hour later when it came in it let out a portion of food (not scheduled; occured after first feeding). Then had to adjust the timer to go off at the correct time. It would have otherotherwise been delayed the length of the power outage. Overall, the feeder will still feed and operate after an outage but has the potential to overfeed.

Hi Christa!Yes, with a power outage this would go out, because it is plugged into the wall. I, personally, keep it plugged in to a socket that has its own switch to turn it on off. I always keep it on, so if the power goes out (as it has in my house), when the power comes back on, as long as it is still plugged back in, it comes right back on by itself! Hope that answers your question! :)

I don't believe this unit will power back on by itself. I'm pretty sure you will have to turn it back on manually. I didn't find anything regarding auto turn on in the spec's. I would suggest you contact Xantrex and ask them.

Don't really know, haven't had a power outage in years. However it was unplugged once without turning off and when plugged back in came back on. Don't know if that will help.

No reason why not, Except! If the power goes out this switch will reset to the off position when power comes back on so you will have to turn your switch on again. If all you are using are surge protectors, no problem. If the are battery back up's then this would definitely cause your systems to crash if you were no there to turn the switch back on.

Hi Eddie. Unfortunately, You will need to turn it back on yourself after a power outage. Have a great day!Vermin

I do not have this experience yet. It seems like the heater should be shut off when power goes out, restarting the unit should require manual reset. Hope the unit is designed this way.
