Surge Protected COAX/RF Connectors

The surge protection feature prevents surges traveling over coaxial

data lines from damaging the system. Connect the coaxial cable

from the CATV or Cable Modem provider to the connector marked

"IN", connect other cables from the connectors marked "OUT" to

the device(s) being protected (CATV box or Cable Modem - in

some cases, the input for both are derived from the single cable

from the provider - such as TV and Internet access through the

same coaxial cable). The S15 model provides a cable splitter for

your CATV system or cable modem. Only the S10 model provides

for connection of a single output.

Additional Surge Protected COAX/RF Connectors

The S10 and S15 also provide surge protection for your satellite,

cable, or RF antenna system. The surge protection feature prevents

surges traveling over a coaxial cable from damaging the

equipment. Connect the coaxial cable from the satellite, cable, or

antenna system to the connector marked "IN", connect another

coaxial cable from the connector marked "OUT" to the device

being protected (satellite, cable, or antenna).

CIRCUIT BREAKER – Provides a “press-to-reset” Circuit

Breaker, which when “tripped” due to an electrical surge or

overload, pops out and shuts down output power to the outlets. To

reset the Circuit Breaker, push it straight inward.

Caution: When resetting the Circuit Breaker, push the button in

quickly, and release the button. Do not hold the Circuit Breaker

button inward. Failure to comply may result in equipment damage.

SYSTEM GROUND Screw

Provides for the connection of grounding wires from all of your

equipment to a central terminal screw. This ground connection

eliminates ground loop problems; tie all component grounds to this

terminal to break any possible ground loops that can cause an

audible ‘hum’.

BUILDING WIRING FAULT Indicator

If lit, then one of three wiring problems exists in the building

wiring circuit: missing ground, overloaded neutral, or reversed

polarity. An electrician should be consulted to resolve the problem.
