# Algorithm Computer Controlled Switching provides more protection for controlled devices of all varieties by eliminating damaging short cycling. It also provides for the longest run/charge times by intelligently monitoring your electrical usage and making decisions on when the controlled device can safely operate.
† Ability to fine-tune how fast the computer will decide to turn the controlled device back on after satisfying the algorithm. This allows for a testing function with instantaneous operation as well as having this set more conservatively or for faster action depending on the situation. (Standard setting is halfway through the travel)
‡ FLA (Full Load Amp) ratings combined with LRA (Locked Rotor Amp) ratings are used to size control systems for inductive loads such as motors and provide for a diversity of applications like A/C, Heat Pumps, and Pool Pumps, etc.
§ Fail-safe design means that if the controller ever gets damaged or stops communicating with the switching device the system is designed to fail in a de-energized state preventing overloads and possible damage to people and property due to fire risk by overheating of devices or unexpected main breaker tripping and loss of whole home power
