Check Your Surge Suppressor’s Diagnostic and Status Indicator
Lights (Available on Select Models Only):
If your surge suppressor
features diagnostic LEDs, check them prior to connecting your equipment.
They will indicate various operating conditions when the surge suppressor is
plugged into a live 120V AC outlet.
“PROTECTED” LED (Green):
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 for more information.
“GROUNDED” LED (Red):
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.
“STATUS LEDs” (Red):
Indicates that AC power is present in that outlet.
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. 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 suppressor’s
outlets. The surge suppressor 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 suppressor 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. IT IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT WHEN
IN “POWER-SAVING” MODE, “POWER SAVE” OUTLETS WILL HAVE AC
POWER CUT WHEN THE “MASTER” OUTLET REACHES ITS “POWER-SAVING”
THRESHOLD. PERIPHERALS AND COMPONENTS THAT REQUIRE PERSONAL
SETTINGS TO BE SAVED SHOULD NOT BE PLUGGED INTO “POWER SAVE”
OUTLETS. PLEASE CONSULT THE DIFFERENT OUTLET DESCRIPTIONS IN
THE FEATURES SECTION FOR RECOMMENDATIONS ON WHAT KIND OF
PERIPHERALS AND COMPONENTS TO PLUG INTO EACH OF THE DIFFERENT
OUTLETS.
* 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. Available on Select Models Only):
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. All
models with phone line surge protection protect devices on a single line only.
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.
