Radio Shack 61-2341 specifications Appliance Surge Protector

Cat. No. 61-2341

Appliance Surge Protector

•Detects and protects against a power surge of up to 6,000 Volts and 10,000 Amps in 1 nanosecond (1 billionth of a second).

•Protects connected equipment from surges of up to 230 Joules.

•Lets you connect up to six devices into your surge protector and leave them all switched on, then use the surge protector’s Master Power Ring™ to turn them on or off together.

•Keyhole slots allow easy mounting.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or shock hazard, do not ex- pose this product to rain or moisture.

CAUTION	!
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
DO NOT OPEN.

CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER OR BACK. NO USER-SERVICE- ABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED PER- SONNEL.

This symbol is intended to alert you to the pres- ence of uninsulated dangerous voltage within the product’s enclosure that might be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock. Do not open the product’s case.

Cautions:

•This surge protector is not a lightning arrestor and might not protect against lightning-induced voltage surges.

•Be sure the combined wattage of all connected devices does not exceed 1,800 watts.

•Use the surge protector only with a three-prong stan- dard AC outlet or a grounded two-to-three prong adapter. The surge protector cannot provide protec- tion without a grounded AC source.

•The equipment you plug into the surge protector must have the same voltage and frequency ratings as in “Specifications.”

Protect your valuable appliances from damage caused by sudden increases in electrical power inside or outside your home, caused by air conditioners, refrigerators, and other appliances, switching on and off. Your surge pro- tector absorbs these spikes and surges. It also improves the performance of connected components by filtering electromagnetic and radio frequency interference.

When your surge protector’s Protected When Lit light is lit, your surge protector protects your equipment by ab- sorbing surges and spikes within the limits of its specifica- tions for appliances plugged into the protector. If a strong surge or spike damages connected equipment while the Protected When Lit light is on, refer to the “RadioShack Limited Warranty and Connected Equipment Guarantee” for claim conditions and procedures.

When the rated current is exceeded, the 15-amp circuit breaker (located on the side of the case) opens to pre- vent possible damage, and its plunger pops out. To reset the surge protector, unplug one or more of the connected devices and allow the surge protector to cool, then push in the plunger.

Important: A surge or spike beyond the specified limits might overload the protection circuitry and render it inac- tive. If this happens, the surge protector should absorb enough of the surge to protect the connected equipment, but it will not protect against future surges and spikes. If this happens and the Protected When Lit light goes out, replace the surge protector.
