Installation
Mount Your Surge Suppressor (Optional Installation): If desired, mount your
surge suppressor on a wall or other sturdy, vertical surface. However, you must
mount the surge suppressor prior to connecting your equipment. Place a sheet of
paper over the surge suppressor’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. (0.5 cm.) of the screw heads
are exposed. Mount the surge suppressor over the screw heads and slide into place.
Connect Your Surge Suppressor to the AC Power Line: Plug the surge
suppressor’s power cord into a standard, 3-wire grounded 120V AC, 60 Hz. outlet.
Turn Your Surge Suppressor ON: Press the surge suppressor’s power switch
until it illuminates, indicating power is supplied at the surge suppressor's outlets.
Check Your Surge Suppressor’s Diagnostic Indicator Lights: Check the LEDs
prior to connecting your equipment. They will indicate various operating conditions
when the surge suppressor is plugged into a live 120V AC outlet and the surge
suppressor’s power switch is on.
“PROTECTED” or “PROTECTION PRESENT” LED (Available on Select
Models Only): 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. Call Tripp Lite Customer Support at (773) 869-1234.
“GROUNDED” LED (Available on Select Models Only): 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 (Available on Select Models Only): Indicates that the wall
outlet is properly wired and no fault conditions exist.
“FAULT” LED (Available on Select Models Only): Indicates faulty wall
outlet wiring (phases are reversed, ground is missing, etc.). If this LED
illuminates, have a qualified electrician fix the fault immediately. This LED will
illuminate in the presence of most common wiring faults, even a loose wall
outlet, but not necessarily every possible type of fault. If an electrician
determines that a fault does not exist, and the LED continues to illuminate,
contact Tripp Lite for service.
Connect Your Equipment to the Surge Suppressor’s AC Outlets: Plug your
equipment’s power cords (including 2-wire devices) into the surge suppressor’s AC
outlets. Special pairs of outlets (“Isolated Filter Banks”) provide an extra level of
filtering between components. For example, if you plug a receiver into an Isolated
Filter Bank outlet, it will not be affected by interference generated by a DVD
player connected elsewhere on the surge suppressor. Every outlet pair (two outlets,
one above the other, separated by a screw) is an Isolated Filter Bank.* All models
feature special widely-spaced outlets to accommodate transformers without
covering other outlets. DO NOT plug in extension cords. DO NOT OVERLOAD
the surge suppressor’s outlets. The surge suppressor can accommodate a total
equipment load of up to 12 amps (whether plugged into a single outlet or spread
out over multiple outlets). If the load on the surge suppressor exceeds 12 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 or switch to “RESET” to reset the breakers and restore power.
* Models with 10 or more outlets are an exception; they include two Isolated Filter Banks, located
nearest the LEDs. ** Circuit breakers are integrated into the power switch on select models and
offered as a separate feature on other models.
Connect Your Equipment to the Surge Suppressor’s Phone Jacks (Optional
Installation): Connect a phone cable from the wall jack directly to the surge
suppressor’s RJ-style phone jack labeled “IN.” Connect a phone cable from the
surge suppressor’s RJ-style phone jack labeled “OUT” directly to the device to be
protected. The surge suppressor must always be the first item connected in line
from the wall jack. The surge suppressor must be plugged into a 3-wire, grounded
AC outlet for phone line surge protection to work.
Connect Your Equipment to the Surge Suppressor’s Network Jacks* (Optional
Installation. Available on Select Models Only): Connect a data cord from the
wall jack or cable/DSL modem directly to the surge suppressor’s network jack
labeled “IN.” Connect a data cord from the surge suppressor’s network jack labeled
“OUT” directly to the device to be protected. The surge suppressor must always be
the first item connected in line from the Ethernet source (typically a wall jack). The
surge suppressor must be plugged into a 3-wire grounded AC outlet for network
line surge protection to work.
* 10/100 BaseT/TX, Token Ring. Not compatible with PoE (Power Over Ethernet) applications.
Connect Your Equipment to the Surge Suppressor’s Coaxial Jacks (Optional
Installation): Connect a coaxial cable from the wall jack directly to the surge
suppressor’s “F” style coaxial jack labeled “IN.” Connect a coaxial cable from the
surge suppressor’s “F” style coaxial jack labeled “OUT” directly to the device to
be connected. Select models include additional sets of coaxial jacks for simultaneous
connection and protection of additional devices on additional lines (cable, antenna
or satellite). Make sure that each device and its corresponding wall jack are
connected to corresponding “IN” and “OUT” jacks on the surge suppressor. The
surge suppressor must always be the first item connected in line from the coaxial
wall jack. The surge suppressor must be plugged into a 3-wire grounded AC outlet
for coaxial line surge protection to work. Make sure coax cables connected to
satellite dishes, antennas, etc. are also grounded.
Attach Power Cord Labels (Optional Installation. Available on Select Models
Only): Coordinate surge suppressor outlets with component power cords for easy
identification. Surge suppressor outlet labels are simply a suggested connection
scheme; you can connect any type of component to any of the surge suppressor’s
outlets.

Ultimate Lifetime Insurance Policy
(Valid in the U.S. and Canada Only)
Tripp Lite warrants, for the lifetime of the product, (at Tripp Lite's option) to repair or replace (on a pro rata basis) directly connected
equipment that is damaged due to power transients while properly connected to Tripp Lite products offering the Ultimate Lifetime
Insurance Policy. Power transients include spikes and surges on the AC power, data or telephone lines that the Tripp Lite products
have been designed to protect against (as recognized by industry standards).
AC Power Line Transients: To claim damages, the Tripp Lite product must be plugged into a properly wired and grounded outlet.
No extension cords or other electrical connections may be used. The installation must comply with all applicable electrical and
safety codes set forth by the National Electrical Code (NEC). Except as provided above, this warranty does not cover any damage
to properly connected electronic equipment resulting from a cause other than an “AC power transient”. If user meets all of the
above requirements, Tripp Lite will repair or replace (at Tripp Lite’s option) equipment up to the specified value (See Ultimate
Lifetime Insurance Policy Limits). No coverage is allowed for damage entering from telephone or data lines, unless they are
separately protected, as described below.
Telephone and Data Line Transients: Tripp Lite will repair or replace directly connected equipment that is damaged by transients
on telephone and/or data lines only when all such paths are protected by a Tripp Lite protection product(s) and the AC power
(utility) line is simultaneously protected by a Tripp Lite power protection device (UPS, surge suppressor or line conditioner) with
Ultimate Lifetime Insurance coverage. Additional telephone and/or data line connected devices downstream must have their own
telephone and/or dataline protectors.
Reimbursement dollar limits will be equal to that of the Tripp Lite power protection protector. Coverage is excluded where a
suitable environment for the protection device is not provided, including, but not limited to, lack of a proper safety ground.
Telephone service equipment must also include a properly installed and operating "primary protection" device at the telephone
service entrance (such devices are normally added during telephone line installation).
All above warranties are null and void if the Tripp Lite product has been improperly installed, tampered with or altered in any way,
or if the connected equipment was not used under normal operating conditions or in accordance with any labels or instructions.
All claims under this warranty must be submitted in writing to Tripp Lite within 30 days of the occurrence or the claim will not be
considered. This warranty does not include damage resulting from accident or misuse, and applies to the domestic (USA &
Canada) use of these products only.
Tripp Lite reserves the right to determine whether the damage to the connected equipment is due to malfunction of the Tripp Lite
product by requesting the equipment in question be sent to Tripp Lite for examination. This policy is above and beyond, only to
the extent needed, of that provided by any coverage of connected equipment provided by other sources, including, but not limited
to, any manufacturer’s warranty and/or any extended warranties.
EXCEPT AS PROVIDED ABOVE, TRIPP LITE MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES
OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Some states do not permit limitation or exclusion of
implied warranties; therefore, the aforesaid limitation(s) or exclusion(s) may not apply to purchaser.
EXCEPT AS PROVIDED ABOVE, IN NO EVENT WILL TRIPP LITE BE LIABLE FOR DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL
OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF THIS PRODUCT, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY
OF SUCH DAMAGE. Specifically, Tripp Lite is not liable for any costs, such as lost profits or revenue, loss of equipment, loss of
use of equipment, loss of software, loss of data, costs of substitutes, claims by third parties or otherwise. Coverage also does not
apply to connected medical and industrial equipment.
