Read Only Registers
The Power Stone^tm contains two “read only” programming registers. – The “Power Supplied” Status Register, Register 07, will readback the current status of power supplied to connected equipment. Two low beeps tell you The Power Stone^tm is not supplying power to your equipment. One beep tells you power is supplied to the equipment. – The “Power Failure” Status Register, Register 08, will tell you if a power failure has occurred since the last reading of this register. Two low beeps tell you power has not been interrupted to The Power Stone^tm since your last inquiry. One beep indicates that a power outage has occurred since your last inquiry.

Manual Override Button

Pressing this button will direct The Power Stone^tm to supply a constant, uninterrupted supply of electricity to your connected equipment. The Power/Status LED will glow brightly, with no flashing. All inbound calls will be ignored by The Power Stone^tm. Pressing the “OVERRIDE” button again will return The Power Stone^tm to its previous programmed operating mode. In the event of a power outage, both “override’s”, the button and Register 05, revert to factory preset which is “Normal Operation” or OVERRIDE off.

If The Power Stone^tm is plugged into a power strip or wall outlet and you can’t get to it to press the OVERRIDE button, there is a touchtone command that will perform the same fúnction as pressing the OVERRIDE button. To do this you must have a touchtone phone connected to the DEVICE port. Press the * (star) symbol on your touchtone phone and The Power Stone^tm will go into OVERRIDE. To get The Power Stone^tm out of OVERRIDE and back to its previous operating mode, press the “Star” character twice, ” * * “. “Telephone OVERRIDE Command” will only work when the Power Stone^tm is not in Manual Operating mode. Note: If you are in the programming mode, you cannot override by dialing ” * ” . In the event of a power outage, both “override’s”, the button and Register 05, revert to factory preset which is “Normal Operation” or OVERRIDE off.

Status/Power LED

The Status/Power LED signals the status of power supplied to your equipment. If the light is blinking in a certain sequence, here’s what’s going on: 1) OFF – There is no power to The Power Stone^tm. The 120 Volt wall outlet is “dead” due to a power outage on that particular circuit or perhaps to your whole house. 2) OFF/Blinking On Briefly Once A Second – The Power Stone^tm is functional and has not been activated. It is not supplying power to your equipment. STATUS 3) ON/Winking Off Once A Second – The Power Stone^tm has been activated and is supplying power to your connected equipment. 4) ON/Solid – The Power Stone^tm is in “Override” mode and is supplying power to your equipment. 5) ON/Blinking Rapidly – The Power Stone^tm is in Manual Operating mode and ready for programming or readback.

Circuit Reset Button

At the bottom of The Power Stone^tm is a 15 Amp resettable breaker button. This button resets The Power Stone^tm in the event that you overload its circuit and trip the breaker. Please pay special attention that you do not plug in multiple devices that could cause an overload to The Power Stone^tm. If The Power Stone^tm circuit breaker continues to blow, investigate the load requirements of each device that you have connected to The Power Stone^tm‘s 120 Volt/15 Amp receptacle.
