Important Safety Instructions SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAUTION! DO NOT connect to an ungrounded outlet. DO NOT use with 2-wire extension cords or adapters. This surge protector is designed for indoor use only. Install the surge protector away from heat-emitting appliances such as radiators or heat registers. Do not install where excessive moisture is present. Do not plug extension cords into it. Never install electrical, telephone, network or coaxial wiring during a lightning storm. Do not drill into any part of the housing or open the housing for any reason. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. • Use of this equipment in life support applications where failure of this equipment can reasonably be expected to cause the failure of the life support equipment or to significantly affect its safety or effectiveness is not recommended. Installation Mount Your Surge Protector (Optional Installation. Available on Select Models Only): If desired, mount your surge protector on a wall or other sturdy, vertical surface. However, you must mount the surge protector prior to connecting your equipment. Place a sheet of paper over the surge protector's mounting holes and mark their centers with a push pin. Next, place this template over the desired area and mark with the push pins. Install screws (user supplied) into the marks until ¼ in. (0.6 cm) of the screw heads are exposed. Mount the surge protector over the screw heads and slide into place. Connect Your Surge Protector to the AC Power Line: Plug the surge protector's power cord into a standard 3-wire grounded 120V AC outlet. Turn Your Surge Protector ON: Press the surge protector's power switch to "ON" or "RESET" (depending on model). Select models feature an illuminated switch. Check Your Surge Protector's Diagnostic Indicator Lights (Available on Select Models Only): If your surge protector features diagnostic LEDs, check them prior to connecting your equipment. They will indicate various operating conditions when the surge protector is plugged into a live 120V AC outlet and the surge protector's power switch is on. "PROTECTED" LED: Indicates the surge suppression components are intact and providing complete protection against surges. If this LED does not illuminate, some of the surge suppression components are not functioning, and the unit should be replaced. Visit www.tripplite.com/support. "GROUNDED" LED: Indicates wall outlet is grounded and surge protection can properly function. If this light DOES NOT illuminate and power is present, consult a qualified electrician to examine your outlet's wiring. "LINE OK" LED (select models): Indicates 120V AC power is present with no wiring faults detected. Connect Your Equipment to the Surge Protector's AC Outlets: Plug your equipment's power cords (including 2-wire devices) into the surge protector's AC outlets. Select models feature integrated safety covers which cover the outlets when not in use. Other models feature special widely-spaced outlets to accommodate transformers without covering other outlets. DO NOT plug in extension cords. DO NOT OVERLOAD the surge protector's outlets. The surge protector can accommodate a total equipment load of up to 15 amps (whether plugged into a single outlet or spread out over multiple outlets). If the load on the surge protector exceeds 15 amps, the circuit breaker* will trip and the outlets will stop providing power. If the circuit breaker trips, reduce the load by unplugging some devices. Depress the circuit breaker to reset. * Circuit breakers are integrated into the power switch on select models and offered as a separate feature on other models. 2 18-08-291-9336F8-EN.indd 2 8/28/2018 1:33:25 PM
