Energy-saving devices

MANILA, Philippines - Electronic devices used in the house now function beyond making homemakers’ lives easy — these gadgets have actually become tools to help save energy, and in effect, the environment.

Innovatronix, a Filipino company that has been making innovations in the field of electronics, offers energy-saving devices for the smart homemaker.

Innovatronix products offer simple yet significant functions that could spell big savings for the household budget.

These devices were developed to help regulate electricity consumption when it comes to using appliances — refrigerators, air-conditioning units, among others — that demand high power. The energy-saving tools also protect the appliances from damage caused by sudden power surges or brownouts.

The Tronix Automatic Night Light (ANL) is a heavy-duty sensor switch that automatically turns on the CFL when the surroundings turn dark, and turns off on its own during daytime. This cutting-edge device makes for a very convenient evening light as one doesn’t have to wander in the dark just to look for a switch. The Tronix ANL has a light sensor switch of about 5 mm. in diameter and can be used for CFL up to 60 watts. And since it’s fully capable of rotating in any direction, it’s very easy to use when placed anywhere in the house.

Brownouts, power failures and severe voltage fluctuations can damage electronic appliances, but with the Tronix POD10 device, one doesn’t have to worry. The Tronix POD10 protects homes and office appliances and equipment by delaying electrical connection until the power stabilizes. This is because appliances with compressors need at least two minutes for their pressure to equalize. With this device, refrigerators, freezers, TV sets, audio systems and fax machines are sure to be in no danger of being damaged by a sudden electricity surge. The Tronix POD10 has a four-to six-minute time delay.

The Tronix Ref Clock Saver (RCS) is an electronic device that can generate low-power consumption for refrigerators and improve the on-off cycle for smoother temperature regulation. The guaranteed savings are based on the preferred time setting of savings mode. This device can cut the refrigerator’s power consumption to almost half the usual monthly use — spelling big savings for the smart homeowner! The Tronix RCS is also equipped with a power-on delay feature and has an on-off cycle of eight minutes and 52 minutes.

The Tronix ACT 20, on the other hand, is a device that brings convenience and protects appliances from the power surge caused by brownouts. Tronix Act 20 serves as a timing device for aircon units. This way, homemakers can control their electric bills. It has a fan outlet that turns on the electric fan when the timer lapses. It is recommended for window-type air-conditioners rated at 2-HP and below.

The Tronix Energy Saving/Appliance Protector Devices are now available at selected hardware stores and all Tronix Imaging Centers, Tronix kiosks and Tronix PrintBoxes nationwide. It can also be purchased online at http://innovatronixph.multiply.com.
