I suffer from frequent power cuts. Does this unit have to be reset each time it is powered up or does it remember the previous settings?

I have unplugged the stc in between batches and it retains my old set points, +/-, time delay, and temp corrections.

settings are non-volatile. You can remove power and it reboots coming back up with the settings.

I think the default setting is reverted to, as indicated in the owners manual. Haven't been around during a failure and re-power to tell for sure.

This happened a couple of times to us. Pushed the reset button and it always starts back up. I thought it had something to do with our outlet...but maybe not. But the reset button always starts it right back up.

This unit does not remember any fine tuning settings when power off. You must readjust each time the unit is put into service. Hope this helps

I don't think so. It will reset itself during a power failure (or being unplugged) back to the state it was in when it lost power.

Whenever the unit gains power back it defaults to a power on state, which if memory serves right just turns on the last built in macro of the unit that you were using the last time it got powered off. Hope this helps.

I actually have the same issue. I have to power cycle it twice a month at least. I had a previous model (not the AC model) that worked for over a year without a power cycle.I was thinking of making use of the ability to schedule a reboot weekly...but I don't think it should be happening this often.

Yes, that is correct, however, the reset will default to the first audio option of "You are trespassing" I keep the power on the unit 24 / 7 in order to maintain my settings.

When a surge hit my house this unit cut power to all the connected DVDs, tv, a/v units, etc. You can reset the unit with the front button.

You can alter the configuration of the device in the setup and tell it to display either C of F.This can be changed at any time and it will retain the setting in between power ups.

Yes you are correct in your assumption that it always consumes some power unless the switch is turned off.

I honestly don't know. I haven't had to do it. This thing has been great so far. It seems to have stabilized some of the surges I used to get. I had a Tripp Lite at one point and it was cutting out power by itself - basically doing the exact opposite of what I wanted it to do. I have no regrets so far with this purchase.

I have been fortunate enough not to have the surge protector do it's intended job. I just looked at the unit and noticed that it does not have a reset, test like a ground fault circuit interrupter. I have a hunch that if the alarm is triggered un-plugging and re-plugging the unit will reset it. The device is cheap enough to protect your expensive appliances, I would have no problem buying another one if there was a problem with the actual device.Hope this helps.JerryO

Press the power button on and off. That usually reset it for me. Or just unplug for ten seconds the plug back in and press the power button

I agree. I see no evidence of this feature in the instructions. But there may be a capacitor in it that holds the settings even though it may be necessary to reset the current time when the power comes back on. Perhaps that is what they mean?

It keeps the last used setting. If you power off with this setting then it will turn on with the same last setting. Hope this helps you. Good luck.
