Have this unit the same "auto-turn off" issue of the ohters Belkin Surge protectors?? I need to plug several devices (including 2 computers)

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

I have one plugged up into a multi-outlet surge protector and have not had an issue.

Hmm That does sound like a serious issue! I cannot say that I have had that problem yet and I have 8 units installed in my house. It sounds to me like the unit is placed on a circuit that is beyond the recommended load which can easily happen. In other words, this issue sounds like people are using the units on circuits that were already poorly wired. Just my thoughts.

I have several of these installed and turn them on and off at the same time, its more about the controller you are using and not the HA01C. Most controllers will allow a "Scene" that is a collection of Devices (ie. Outlets or Switches)

The controlled outlets work off one device, which is plugged into the "master" outlet. I have my CPU plugged into that one, since I don't use the peripherals when the computer is off. Theoretically, you could plug anything into it, even a lamp, and when you turned it off all of the controlled outlets would go off as well. The outlets do stay on for 90 seconds after the "master" is turned off. Perhaps that is what is confusing you. Hope this helps.

Hi Adam,You can turn off the timer function. As well, there are 4 outlets that don't run on the timer.

This power strip has a couple of outlets that are "always on" whenever it's plugged in to a wall receptacle. The strip offers surge protection to anything plugged into it, however, some of the outlets are switched, meaning that they will turn off when whatever is plugged into the "sensing outlet" is turned off. There is just one sensing outlet, several switched outlets controlled by the sensing outlet, and two "always on" outlets. The reason for the always on is because if you have, say a DVR or a VCR that is set to record something at a certain time, you wouldn't want that component to be automatically turned off along with, say your TV. However, for other components that are used only when your TV or home entertainment center is in use, these outlets will turn off when the sensing outlet tells them that whatever was plugged into the sensing outlet has been turned off. This keeps the other, non-essential components from using any power when they are not needed and saves energy. Surprisingly, many electronics use energy even when they are powered off. Also, those little AC adapters for video games and so forth are always using some power when they're connected, so you can kill them automatically with this strip. I hope this explanation helps. When I first got mine it was a little confusing to figure out at first and the instructions weren't very clear. Good luck! Jeff

They both need to be plugged in on the same circuit. If you have them both plugged in then throw the circuit breaker for that circuit they should both turn off. Just be careful of what else may be on that circuit. Hope that helps.

I have mine plugged into a surge protector. Just my two cents. But I cannot see a reason why plugging this device into an extension cord would create any issues (other than ensuring polarity). Hope this helps...

Yes, that's true. If you plug it into a surge protector it will not work properly, if at all.

I have the same problem it concerns me that it may blow the circuit out! Don't know if its normal or not! My solution is to leave it plugged in and to try not to have to plug it in again.

David, I will need to disagree with Chris on the surge protection issue. By my experience, I would say that a surge can cause damage to hardware up the CAT5/CAT6 line from the NETGEAR Powerline (The XAVB2501 to be exact). All of my equipment was surge protected except the XAVB2501 as it was recommended not to use surge protection on these. After a large storm one of my Powerlines was non-operational and the Cisco switch I had the Powerline linked with was also toast. The switch had been powered though a surge protector that had many other devices attached to it. All the other devices on that protector were fine. Could there be another cause for my switching being toasted that night? Perhaps, but being a resident of a rather stormy area of the united states I've always kept my electronics surged protected and I've never had anything release its magic smoke until this. The odds seem unlikely that the switch could be fried by anything other than the one device that was not surge protected, the Powerline XAVB2501. My thoughts, Noah P.

Nope, I've never had a problem with mine. Did you lose power by any chance? Maybe the surge blew. Try unplugging it and plugging it back into a different outlet.

I'd call Cyberpower before I did it. Sometimes you do things like that & it monks with the electronics...like hooking 2 surge protectors in series, some say it cancels both out??? You can get Cyberpower customer service& tech # online.

I have the following one, too. It has an on/off switch. Great for tv, computers, etc. Belkin 12 Outlet Home/Office Surge Protector with Phone/Ethernet/Coaxial Protection and Extended Cord 4156 Joules for around 22. on Amazonby BELKIN

Mine is on as well. I expect Steakman is correct and this just means surge protection is active.

Hi David, unlike your house I do have 3 pronged outlets. I know you could get the juice to flow by uasing a 2 into 3 prong converter (mostly gray in color) and are cheap to purchase....BUT I AM NOT sure about the surge protection working, I would call Belkin....
