Background

By actuating the switch of office and household appliances it is in the majority of cases not

possible to disconnect the device completely. The appliances are in a standby or sleep mode with

energy loss still. This means for example in Germany about 22 billion KWh per year loss according to

the German ECO government department.

The regulation 1275-2008-EC for the ECO design requirements of the power consumption for

electronic office and household appliances within the standby and OFF state requires the observation

of following limit values.

Terms

AOS: Auto-Off Switch

AOS version is with integrated electronic works standalone and use an internal signal

to shut-off the switch after a defined time.

AOS-I: Auto-Off Switch with Current detecting function than AOS switch.

ROS: Remote-Off Switch

ROS version does not have an internal electronic and gets the signal from the

appliance electronic to shut-off the appliance.

Typical advantages

◆ Comfortable automatic appliance shut-off, completely galvanic disconnection.

(ECO e.g. saving per device of up to 20 EUR and in the average 100 EUR per home or

10% of the energy costs per year)

◆ Generally reduction of electric power consumption.

◆ Solution as complete standalone component. Auto-off

◆ Slim solution for devices with electronic. Remote-off

◆ Auto-off and Remote-off flexible by device type demand.

◆ Cost-effective solution of ECO requirement.

◆ For AOS the MCU control the OFF time very accurate either at 50hz or 60hz.
