Turn off your television, DVD player and set-top box at the mains using
your remote control. This
eco-friendly
plug panel will
save
you money
off your energy bills and
reduce
your
carbon footprint by banishing standby mode from all your
TV
equipment.
Say Goodbye to Standby
The TV Intellipanel recognises signals from your television's remote
control, so you can turn off your TV and all attached peripherals at
the mains using a single remote control.
Saving power is
easy because the
Intellipanel automatically turns off your TV at the mains whenever you
leave it in standby mode. No more will you need to get up
from
your arm chair and fiddle with switches to turn off standby.
The Intellipanel is easy to set up – simply plug it in. It
uses auto-calibration to work out your TV's remote
control signal. This means it always knows when you've put your TV on
standby, and
switches
off mains
power at the right time, every time.
With a twenty second reaction time, you won't be left waiting around
for your equipment to power up.
Slash your energy bills
A
TV plug
with an
automatic power
switch means no more
wasted power.
TV equipment left on standby uses an average of 35 watts of energy per
hour, costing your money and increasing your carbon
footprint.
The TV Intellipanel uses just 0.4 watts per hour.
Saving every possible watt of energy is becoming increasingly important
in the fight against global warming, and as
energy bills
rise. Recent
research by price comparison site uSwitch.com found energy bills have
doubled in the last five years.
Half a million Intellipanels and Intelliplugs have already been sold,
saving an estimated 23 million tonnes of
carbon emissions.
Give Your TV a Longer Life
Using the TV Intellipanel will prolong the life of your TV, DVD player,
set-top box, games consoles and other equipment. Research
shows
that leaving TV equipment on standby reduces equipment lifespan by an
average of 15%, as well as creating an unnecessary fire risk.
Using the Intellipanel is
better
for
your TV equipment than manually switching off at the mains
because the Intellipanel waits until your TV has fully powered down
into standby state before turning it off. Switching off mains
power prematurely can damage the components inside your TV, or reset
the software inside digital TVs.
In addition, the Intellipanel automatically works out the optimum
amount of power to send to your TV equipment to create the least amount
of circuit stress. This lengthens the life of components,
making
your TV less likely to break down.
Built-in surge protection protects your TV against power surges and
spikes. The Intellipanel includes a thermal fuse to protect
against catastrophic power spikes.
Keeping your TV in tip-top condition is good for the environment. The
longer a TV lasts, the longer it stays out of landfill.
Record your Favourite TV
shows
The Intellipanel still lets you record your favourite TV shows with a
Sky+ box or freeview recorder. A permanent power socket is
built
in for items that need to be left on standby to record programmes.
Protects your Aerial and
Telephone
The Intellipanel includes Telephone and Aerial surge protection and a
telephone splitter so one input line can be split into 2, e.g. one for
your telephone and one for your Sky DigiBox.

FAQs
My Television/Audio
Visual
IntelliPanel™ doesn’t seem to be working?
We have found on numerous occasions (and
we include
ourselves in this) that the labyrinth of cables we hide behind our TV’s
can get a bit muddled up. It is very important that the television is
plugged into the mains socket, so it might be worth checking that
before we go any further! You might want to check the television
configuration instructions again. Please ensure all of the connected
plugs/extensions are seated properly, if they aren’t pushed all the way
in they may not be connecting correctly.
Why is my television
switching on and
off intermittently?
In order to fully calibrate the
Television/Audio
Visual IntelliPanel™ you must switch off your television after you have
switched it on for the first time. The IntelliPanel™ uses something
called ‘Auto Calibration’. In order for this to work properly your
television must go through an on and off cycle. The IntelliPanel™ will
then learn to adapt to your televisions’ unique patterns of energy
consumption. We suggest you see the Re-set instructions for a step by
step guide.
Can I plug anything other
than a TV
into the Master Socket?
Yes, you may decide to use your
amplifier as the
Master Device and that’s fine. However, we do not recommend using
equipment such as a video recorder or DVD player in the Master Socket.
You can view this set up by looking at the amplifier configuration
instructions.
Can I use my Desktop
computer with the
Television/Audio Visual IntelliPanel™?
Yes, you may want to check the computer
configuration instructions. You can use a desktop computer as the
Master Device. However, the Master Socket on the Television/Audio
Visual IntelliPanel™ is not permanently powered; this means that all
your equipment will be switched off.
Can I use my Laptop with
the
Television/Audio Visual IntelliPanel™?
No, laptops have an internal battery
which may
confuse the Auto Calibration system. For laptops please use
USBIMP205.
Does switching my
television and
peripherals on and off reduce the lifespan of the system?
No. Things have moved on in leaps and
bounds since
the old days and the performance of modern electrical components is no
longer compromised by turning appliances on and off (so we don’t have
an excuse for not doing it!).
The Television/Audio
Visual
IntelliPanel™ switches power off after a delay of thirty seconds, is
this normal?
Absolutely, we called it the
IntelliPanel™ for a
reason. As modern technology advances, so too does the sophistication
of household gadgets. Automatic downloads to digital televisions are
becoming more and more common. Recognising that it would be detrimental
to an electrical system to switch off mid download, the IntelliPanel™
will only power down your equipment once it is sure no more power is
required by the Master Device(for down loading etc). It decides this by
continuously measuring the flow of electricity actually being used, so
if it takes a little while to switch off it’s nothing to worry about!
Does the Television/Audio
Visual
IntelliPanel™ have surge protection?
Yes, it has surge protection for the
Master Device
and all peripherals, including the telephone /modem splitter and the
aerial cable.
What is the life
expectancy of the
Television/Audio Visual IntelliPanel™?
We’re big believers in producing quality
innovations
and we think selling poor quality products to our customers is
unacceptable. We have designed the IntelliPanel™ to last for more than
1 million cycles, that’s down to hard wearing parts and technical
innovation. You can use the Television/Audio Visual IntelliPanel™ more
than 180 times a day and it should still work for more than 15 years.
It will pay for itself many times over and we think that’s only fair!
Even our original panel is still working after 18 years and you can
imagine how much we’ve put that through!
Can the Television/Audio
Visual
IntelliPanel™ damage my equipment?
No. We wouldn’t supply you with a
product that we
weren’t 100% happy with. The OneClick products can actually help your
equipment last longer, by reducing stress to the components when you
switch the peripherals on and off. This is down to our patented Zero
Crossing Detection.
One of my peripherals
switches off but
does not switch back on, why is this?
In very few instances, some peripherals
have soft
switches, which automatically default to ‘off’ in the event of a power
cut. We’re sorry but in this instance you will have to manually switch
the power on to this device. (The IntelliPanel™ is clever but we
haven’t found a way for it to physically turn things on yet…but we are
working on it!)
Do I need an additional
remote control
to operate the Television/Audio Visual IntelliPanel™?
No. We don’t believe in wasting money
and resources
so we designed the IntelliPanel™ to detect the fall in current when you
switch your Master device off, only then, will the IntelliPanel™ power
down your peripherals automatically. However, the remote sensor learns
the signature of your remote control on button to reactivate your
television into standby.
How do I programme the
remote sensor
to recognise my remote control?
Simple, just visit our remote sensor
page.
What colour should the
light inside
the remote sensor be?
This depends on the production model,
the light may
be green or orange in either case your sensor will not be affected.
Can I activate the
Television/Audio
Visual IntelliPanel™ manually if I lose my remote control?
Of course, to manually activate the
IntelliPanel™
all you have to do is press the button on top of the remote sensor and
activate your master device within thirty seconds. For more
instructions visit the remote sensor page.
I have more than six
peripheral
devices that I need to plug into the Television/Audio Visual
IntelliPanel™, how do I achieve this?
All you need to do is use the
IntelliPanel™ in
conjunction with a trailing socket or adaptor (the ones we all have
lying around the house). We have tried to make our products as
versatile and as adaptable as possible, by using the IntelliPanel™ in
this way you won’t have wasted any money on those trailing
sockets/adaptors and you’re saving electricity. There’s no need to
worry about safety, our products are designed to meet British
Standards, which means that they are entirely safe to use in this
manner. Doesn’t that feel good?
I have more than one
device that
requires permanent power, how do I achieve this?
All you need to do is plug a trailing
socket or
adaptor (the ones we all have lying around the house) in to the
permanent on socket. We have tried to make our products as versatile
and as adaptable as possible, by using the IntelliPanel™ in this way
you won’t have wasted any money on those trailing sockets/adaptors and
you’re saving electricity. There’s no need to worry about safety, our
products are designed to meet British Standards, which means that they
are entirely safe to use in this manner. Doesn’t that feel good?
Can I plug more than 1
device into the
Master Socket?
We do not advise plugging more than one
device into
the Master Socket as this may confuse the Auto Calibration system.
Do I need to route my
telephone/aerial
through the Television/Audio Visual IntelliPanel™?
We suggest that you do but it’s entirely
up to you.
We’ve put it there so you can have complete piece of mind. If you
decide to run your telephone/aerial through the IntelliPanel™ you can
rest assured that they will have the benefit of surge protection. For
instructions on how to route your telephone/aerial through the
IntelliPanel™, please visit the telephone/aerial configuration page.
If I connect my telephone
to the
Television/Audio Visual IntelliPanel™ will I still be able to use it
when the television is switched off?
Of course, we know you’d like to protect
your
equipment against surge so OneClick designed this panel to work with
you, not against you. We’re trying to make life easier. The
telephone/aerial lines on the IntelliPanel™ have permanent power, which
means you can still use them even when you have switched off the rest
of your equipment.
Can I timer record to my
Video/DVD
recorder from my Sky Digibox using the Television/Audio Visual
IntelliPanel™?
We would hate to be responsible for you
missing your
favourite programmes, so if you want to timer record from your digibox
to your video or DVD recorder we recommend that you connect both
appliances (using a trailing socket) to the ‘permanent on’ socket
located on the IntelliPanel™. After all we wouldn’t want you to miss
the latest episode of Tomorrow’s world! Nb. The sky socket on the
IntelliPanel™ is only designed to be used when the digibox is not
required for timer recording.
What function does the
dedicated Sky
Socket perform?
The dedicated sky socket is designed
specifically
for Sky Digital. When you turn off your television the peripherals will
switch off together with your Sky Digital Box. The Sky Digital Box will
be powered back in to standby after 30 seconds. This automatically
re-sets your Sky Box and places it in to standby mode ready for use.
The Sky socket is not recommended for Sky + or Sky HD.
Can I use the
IntelliPanel™ in
conjunction with Sky+ and Sky HD and still record my programmes?
We would hate to be responsible for you
missing your
favourite programmes, so if you want to record we recommend that you
leave your Sky+ or Sky HD connected to the ‘permanent on’ socket
located on the IntelliPanel™. After all we wouldn’t want you to miss
the latest episode of Tomorrow’s world!
Nb. The sky socket on the IntelliPanel™
is only
designed to be used when the digibox is not required for timer
recording.
Do I need to route my
telephone/aerial
through the Television/Audio Visual IntelliPanel™?
Well that’s entirely up to you. We’ve
put it there
so you can have complete piece of mind. If you decide to run your
telephone/aerial through the IntelliPanel™ you can rest assured that
they will have the benefit of surge protection.
How do I route my aerial
through the
Television/Audio Visual IntelliPanel™?
It’s really easy, please see our
telephone/aerial
configuration instructions.

Why does the standby
light on my
television take up to a minute to go off?
These small ‘standby’ lights are called
LED’s (Light
Emitting Diodes) they are a very energy efficient bulb. The residual
energy stored in these tiny lights can power them for a minute or so
after the electricity has been switched off
