Installation
Connect Your Surge Suppressor to the AC Power Line: Plug the surge suppressor’s power cord into a standard,
Check Your Surge Suppressor’s Diagnostic Indicator Lights: Check your diagnostic LEDs prior to connecting your equipment. They will indicate various operating conditions when the surge suppressor is plugged into a live 120V AC outlet.
AC POWER LED (Red): Indicates the power status (ON/OFF) of the unit.
“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” (Green): Indicates that AC power is present in that “Always On” outlet.
IR LED (Blue): Indicates that the unit is receiving a signal from your remote.
Connect Your Equipment to the Surge Suppressor’s Appropriate AC Outlets: Plug your equipment’s power cords into the surge suppressor’s AC 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.
IMPORTANT CONNECTION NOTES
It is important to note that your surge suppressor has “Power Save” and “Always On” outlets. “Power Save” outlets will have AC power cut to them approximately 3 minutes after the GREEN “Power Save” technology detects that total power consumption in the “Power Save” outlets has dropped 70%. “Power Save” outlets are recommended for
“Always On” outlets provide continuous power even after the “Power Save” outlets are turned OFF. These outlets are recommended for critical devices such as modems, routers, external drives, cordless phones, fax machines, DVRs (TiVo®), cable and satellite boxes.
Connect Your Equipment to the Surge Suppressor’s Phone Jacks (Optional Installation): Connect a phone cable from the wall jack directly to the surge suppressor’s
Connect Your Equipment to the Surge Suppressor’s Network Jacks* (Optional Installation): Connect a data cord from the wall jack or cable/DSL modem directly to the surge suppressor’s network jack labeled “IN.” Connect a data cord from the surge suppressor’s network jack labeled “OUT” directly to the device to be protected (typically a computer’s network interface card). The surge suppressor must always be the first item connected in line from the Ethernet source (typically a wall jack).The surge suppressor must be plugged into a
* 10/100 BaseT/TX,Token Ring. Not compatible with PoE (Power Over Ethernet) applications.
Connect Your Equipment to the Surge Suppressor’s Coaxial Jacks (Optional Installation): Connect a coaxial cable from the wall jack directly to the surge suppressor’s “F” style coaxial jack labeled “IN.” Connect a coaxial cable from the surge suppressor’s “F” style coaxial jack labeled “OUT” directly to the device to be protected. Select models include a second set of coaxial jacks for simultaneous connection and protection of devices on two separate lines (cable, antenna or satellite).The surge suppressor must always be the first item connected in line from the coaxial wall jack.The surge suppressor must be plugged into a
