SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
Thank you for selecting the SurgeArrest Rackmount from American Power Conversion! It is designed to provide the highest degree of protection from utility line spikes, surges and EMI/RFI noise. Please complete and return the enclosed warranty registration card.
Surges are caused by nearby lightning activity and motor load switch- ing created by air conditioners, elevators, refrigerators, and so on. The SurgeArrest Rackmount filters out EMI/RFI (electromagnetic and radio frequency interference) noise with components whose electrical resistance is very high at radio frequencies. EMI/RFI noise is com- monly created by the same activity, which produces surges, and can also be caused by nearby radio transmitters.

Installation Instructions
Before installing the unit, ensure you have read and understand the following safety instructions:
•The SurgeArrest Rackmount supressor is intended for indoor use only. Do not install this product where it is exposed to excessive moisture or heat.
•Never install any wiring or products during a lightning storm.
•Plug the SurgeArrest Rackmount supressor into a
•The SurgeArrest Rackmount is designed to be mounted in a vari- ety of orientations in an equipment rack. Brackets with multiple hole patterns can be easily installed in either a horizontal or verti- cal orientation, as shown in the diagrams below, and to the right.
•Do not use extension cords or adapters with this product.
CAUTION: Do not install this device if there is not at least 10 meters (30 feet) or more of wire between the electrical outlet and the electrical ser- vice panel.

Operation
The Site Wiring Fault Indicator (red) will illuminate if the building wiring is faulty, regardless of the position of the On/Off Switch. This indicator signals either: missing ground wiring, the hot and neutral wires are reversed, or the neutral circuit is overloaded. If this indicator is illuminated, a qualified electrician should be called to correct the service wiring. When SurgeArrest Rackmount is fully loaded, the Site Wiring Fault indicator may flicker - this is normal and may not be indicative of a fault. Even if equipment appears to operate normally, faulty wiring could result in a shock hazard that can prevent the SurgeArrest Rackmount from providing rated surge and noise sup- pression.
Note: The Protection Working LED (green) indicator is normally illumi- nated when the switch is activated. The light is off when SurgeArrest Rack- mount has disconnected itself from the utility due to a sustained ultra high energy surge, such as a direct lightning strike. If you observe that this LED indicator is off, first check the Circuit breaker and On/Off Switch to make sure that the suppressor is on and receiving power. If the Protection Working LED still does not light, return the unit to APC to be repaired or replaced.
The Circuit Breaker is tripped when the button pops out. This indi- cates the suppressor is overloaded, and at least one supported device needs to be unplugged. The circuit breaker is rated to trip at the same overload point as most home and office utility service branch protec- tors (15 Amps).
The On/Off Control regulates power to the eight switched outlets, and can be used as a system master switch to all nine switched outlets.
