Phone Line Installation

(Isotel® & Isotel® Ultra Models Only)

1	Connect a phone cord directly from
	the telephone jack to the "IN" jack of
	your surge suppressor.
	Your surge suppressor must be the first item in line from the
	telephone jack for it to protect against surges on the phone line.
	Your surge suppressor can only protect against phone line
	surges if its power cord is correctly connected to a grounded,
	3-wire AC outlet. It is not intended for use with network data lines.
2	Connect a phone cord from the device to be protected
	to the "OUT" jack of your surge suppressor.

Select models protect TWO lines on one cable simultaneously (see specs.) If you have one of these models and want to protect two lines that do NOT travel through one cable, you must use "Y" splitters appropriate to your application to adapt them to your surge suppressor.

Troubleshooting

PROBLEM

Your circuit breaker trips.

Your Isobar is overloaded.

The green "Protection Present" and/

or "Line OK" LED(s) do not light. Your equipment is not fully protected against surges or there is a wiring fault in your wall outlet.

The red "Fault" LED lights when you first plug in your Isobar.

There is a wiring fault in your wall outlet. (Phases are reversed, ground is missing, etc.)

The red "Fault" LED lights after continued use of your Isobar.

Your Isobar may have been damaged by a surge.

Equipment plugged into the Isobar exhibits audio static or video "snow".

Some equipment may be generating electrical interference.

SOLUTION

Unplug some equipment. Wait one minute while your Isobar cools, then push the circuit breaker button back in. (See Fig. 1)

Make sure that power is available at the wall outlet, the power switch is on and lit, and the Isobar is completely plugged in.

Have a qualified electrician fix the fault immediately. NOTE: A loose wall outlet may cause the "FAULT" LED to light. Your Isobar will identify most wiring faults, but may not identify every possible type of fault.

Have a qualified electrician examine your outlet to determine if a fault has developed. If no fault exists, contact Tripp Lite for service.

Plug your equipment into outlets not directly across from each other (see Fig. 2,) and plug equipment with heavy power draws (such as printers) into outlets away from monitors and AV equipment.
