Interesting idea.  It is limited to strictly "500W" sensed (Peak or average?) and does not say what the sense current threshold is, 
or whether it can be varied.  Seems designed to switch using PC's though, however high end graphics / hi power boxes might blow it 
up or something!  Might be great for the ion series FE's.   I suppose a PC with a 450W power supply should be OK.
