INSTALLATION REQUIRMENTS
Power Connections
The Smart PowerTap™ should only be plugged into a grounded
outlet.
All connected devices should be plugged directly into the Smart
PowerTap™
Using any extension cord in conjunction with the Smart
PowerTap™ will void all TrickleStar warranties.
Phone/Fax/Modem /Network Connections
Selected Smart PowerTap™ models come with phone/fax/data/
coaxial surge protection. Instead of running a connection directly
from your phone/fax/computer to the wall jack, you must pass the
connection through the protected jacks on the product.
Connect your phone/fax/computer line from your wall outlet to the
“In” jack on the Product. Connect a phone cord or network cord
into the “Out” jack on the product, and connect the other end of the
phone cord to the phone/fax/network jack of the device you want to
protect.
If you fail to connect the phone/fax/data/coaxial protection, the
Connected Device Warranty will not cover your connected devices.
Most modem damage can be prevented if you take the time to
connect the phone/fax/data protection.
If you have multiple devices that utilize the same phone line you
may daisy chain them from the surge protector, but only using the
phone/fax/data protection.
Coaxial Cable Connections
Selected Smart PowerTap™ models come with coaxial cable
surge protection. Instead of running a connection directly from your
DSS receiver/TV/VCR/cable box to the wall jack, you must pass
the connection through the protected “F” connectors on your
TrickleStrip™.
Connect your incoming cable/antenna/DSS line to the “Input F”
connector on the surge protector. Connect a coaxial cable into the
“Output F” connector on the product, and then connect the other
end of the coaxial cable to the “Input F” connector of the device
you want to protect.
If you fail to use the coaxial cable protection, the Connected
Device Warranty will not cover your connected devices. Most
TV/VCR damage can be prevented if you take the time to connect
coaxial cable protection.
If you have multiple devices that utilize the same cable/antenna
line, you may daisy chain them from the surge protector, but only
using the coaxial cable protection.
LED Indication
The “Surge” light should be green when powered. If this LED goes
red at any time it means that the Product was sacrificed to protect
your devices and should be replaced.
The “Ground” LED should be On when the product is powered On.
If this light does not come On when you plug in the Product to a
wall outlet you have a ground-wiring problem and you should
contact an electrician to properly ground the outlet. Connecting a
Product to an improperly grounded outlet will void all TrickleStar
warranties.
All connected devices should be plugged directly into your Product
- using any extension cord in conjunction with a Product will void
all TrickleStar warranties.
