Overview and Operation

ON/OFF switch and circuit breaker-The ON/OFF switch provides on/off power control to all of the outlets and serves as a circuit breaker. When an output overload condition occurs the ON/OFF switch moves to the OFF position. Disconnect all equipment from the SurgeArrest before moving the switch to the ON position.

Outlets controlled by ON/OFF switch -These outlets receive power when the ON/OFF switch is in the ON position.

MASTER and CONTROLLED BY MASTER outlets-When enabled, a device plugged into the MASTER outlet will act as the master on/off switch for devices plugged into the CONTROLLED BY MASTER outlets.Turn off or place in Standby mode the device plugged into the MASTER outlet and automatically all devices plugged into the CONTROLLED BY MASTER outlets will turn off. When the device plugged into the MASTER outlet is turned on or is taken out of standby mode, all devices plugged into the CONTROLLED BY MASTER outlets will automatically turn on.

NOTE: If a computer is being used as the master device, standby mode must be enabled. For Windows, access Control Panel, select Power Options then select Power Schemes. For MacIntosh, access System Preferences then select Energy Saver.
