Monster GreenPower™: Helping Save Power, Money – and the Environment!
In addition to the large initial investment of purchasing advanced digital home entertainment and computer equipment, the cost of powering it all can put a significant dent in a consumer’s budget. In addition, many people are concerned about their “carbon footprint” and the potential damage caused to the environment from their power use. One of the biggest drains to consumer budgets and cause for environmental concern is all the power wasted from components that are left on “standby” mode. Even the U.S Department of Energy states that stand-by power waste can account for up to 20% of a home’s electrical use.
To battle this “vampire load” waste, one of the HP Monster PowerCenters™ features Monster GreenPower™ for automatic energy savings, giving users an easy way to reduce unnecessary energy waste and save money. This PowerCenter is also engineered to protect against surges and spikes with Dual Mode Plus™ auto disconnect surge protection, and PC Clean Power® to filter electrical noise and interference for reliable data transfer and protection against data loss and corruption.
How GreenPower Helps Slay Energy-Wasting “Vampire Loads”
GreenPower works automatically to eliminate energy waste in connected PC systems. Users simply plug their computer into the GreenPower Control outlet, then plug their additional connected PC peripherals (printer, monitor, scanner, loudspeakers, etc.) into the specially marked Monster GreenPower outlets. When the computer is turned off or goes to sleep, power to the other GreenPower outlets is automatically cut off, eliminating the energy wasted by peripherals, such as the scanner and monitor, when they’re not in use. When the computer turns back on, the GreenPower outlets automatically power the peripherals up again.
HP Monster PowerCenters with Surge Protection
For those customers looking strictly for surge protection for their systems, HP Monster also offers a surge protector with a high joule rating for protection
