Does this unit power back up automatically if DC power is interrupted, or do you have to turn it back on manually?

The unit powers on any time the DC is applied. I leave this unit plugged in to a DC jack which turns on and off with the ignition key. I have not had to manually use the power switch on the unit to restart it.

It has a manual on/off switch so yes it will stay in on position if input power is disrupted. It does emit a long beep once it looses input power, but not when power comes back.

Mine cuts on any time the power switch is turned on. I use it with a battery setup that I turn off when not in use so I leave the unit on all the time and turn on and off the battery.

Unit is made of metal. It runs off both types of power. If you plug in both, it uses AC. If you lose AC, it run off DC.

No. When you unplug the power cable it will shut off the unit. There is a power button on the back that needs to be pushed when plugged back in but it doesnt seem to have a passive mode.

According to the documentation, the unit will remain OFF after a power failure. I believe this is a safety precaution.

We do not use the unit in this configuration, but I have found that power saving features make the device unresponsive for a while, so we turned the feature off altogether. Hope it helps.

I have it plugged directly into the wall now, the power has gone out a few times and no data has been lost. I am thinking about getting a surge protector with a battery backup just in case.

I have found that the unit will automatically restart, but it will not save your settings. You will need to re-program F/C and the temperature after a power interruption. I have been pretty happy with our unit thus far. -DA

It's not a momentary solution. Power stays on until YOU decide to "unclick" it. It is an awesome lil gadget. I totally recommend it.

I have 2 units and have to issues with neither of them...I use it for basic AC and DC power reading takes. I do get some insignificant reading when power on but when connecting to the power source for measurement works well and power reading are correct.I hope this helps....

I can confirm that no, it would not come back on after a loss of power. You would need to manually hit the "power" button to make it turn back on.

The unit CANNOT be operated during a power outage..it has an electronic ignation which needs the power to function. As for having to manually reset the unit after an outage, we have never had to do any reset on the already input settings dispite many outages due to heavy snow... Hope this helps...we have two (2) units and love them.....

It will not operate without electricity. It will restart at preset settings when power is restored.

Hi Mike, when the device is being powered by an external power source, the unit will not power off after 5 minutes. Once the unit is off, you will need to manually turn it on after power is restored.

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.

No. After use I unplug from electricity. I use this only once a moth to backup my computers.

I have not had any auto-turn off issues with this surge protector. I hope this helps

The unit has retained its settings for me when power is removed. I don't know what the official manufacturer statement would be.
