Installation
Important Safety Warnings
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Mount Your Surge Suppressor (Optional Installation): If desired, mount your surge
suppressor on a wall or other sturdy, vertical surface. However, you must mount the
surge suppressor prior to connecting your equipment. Place a sheet of paper over the
product’s mounting holes and mark their centers with a push pin. Next, place this
template over the desired area and mark with the push pins. Install screws (user-
supplied) into the marks until 0.5 cm (¼ in.) of the screw heads are exposed. Mount the
product over the screw heads and slide into place.
Connect Your Surge Suppressor to the AC Power Line: Plug the product’s power
cord into a standard, 3-wire grounded 230V AC, 60 Hz outlet.
Turn Your Surge Suppressor ON: Press the product’s power switch to “ON”. (Select
models feature an illuminated switch.)
Check Your Surge Suppressor’s Diagnostic Indicator Light: If your surge
suppressor features a diagnostic LED, check it prior to connecting your equipment. It
will indicate operating conditions when the surge suppressor is plugged into a live 230V
AC outlet and the surge suppressor’s power switch is on.
“PROTECTED” LED (Select Models Only): 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.
“GROUNDED” LED (Select Models Only): 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.
“CONNECTED” LED (Select Models Only): If your surge suppressor includes
Master/Subordinate Outlets (see “Master/Subordinate Outlets” section), this LED
indicates a device is connected to the “Master” outlet and a peripheral device is
connected to at least one of the “Subordinate” outlets and is functioning properly.
Connect Your Equipment to the Surge Suppressor’s AC Outlets: Plug your
equipment’s power cords (including 2-wire devices) into the product’s AC outlets. All
models feature safety outlets which automatically close when plug is removed. Select
models also feature special widely-spaced outlets to accommodate transformers without
covering other outlets. DO NOT plug in extension cords. DO NOT OVERLOAD the
product’s outlets. The product can accommodate a total equipment load of up to 10 amps
(whether plugged into a single outlet or spread out over multiple outlets). If the load on
the surge suppressor exceeds 10 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.
* Circuit breakers are integrated into the power switch on select models.
Master/Subordinate Outlets (Select Models Only): This feature allows one main
outlet to control up to three peripheral devices. The outlet that controls the peripheral
devices is labeled “Master” and the three-outlet array for the peripheral devices is
labeled “Connected by Master”. For example, when a PC connected to the “Master”
outlet is switched on or off, any device(s) connected to any of the “Subordinate” outlets
(such as a monitor, printer, etc.) will simultaneously be switched on or off as well.
Connect Your Equipment to the Surge Suppressor’s Coaxial Jacks (Optional
Installation. Select Models Only): Connect the included coaxial cable from the wall
jack directly to the surge suppressor’s gold-plated “F” style coaxial jack labeled “IN”.
Connect the coaxial cable from the surge suppressor’s gold-plated “F” style coaxial jack
labeled “OUT” directly to the device to be protected. (For aerial connections, select
models also include one aerial cable and two aerial connectors.) 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 3-wire grounded AC outlet for coaxial line surge
protection to work.
Connect Your Equipment to the Surge Suppressor’s Network Jacks* (Optional
Installation. Select Models Only): Connect the included 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 3-wire grounded AC
outlet for network line surge protection to work.
*10/100 BaseT/TX, Token Ring. Not compatible with PoE (Power Over Ethernet)
applications.
