Important Safety Instructions
Installation
• 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.
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.

“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.
