Just installed my new purchase; an APC H15. Should I leave this unit on at all times, or control it with the 12v trigger to turn on when the AVR is turned on? Am I loosing any protection when the unit is off? The manual isn't very clear on this. Thanks

    I leave mine on all the time and unplug on vacations. I like the dimmer function that all lights can be turned off. Great unit.

    Leave it on, page 6 in the manual.
    On/Off switch
    Controls power to all 12 outlets. APC recommends the unit be
    left ‘on’ at all times.

    I use an H15 in my HT system. It's been on continuously for several years straight and I have never once had any issues. It's been a solid unit for me. Especially given it's relatively low price.
